A beach wedding teaser that opens on the sea
A beach wedding Social Teaser should show first what makes the day unmistakable: the water, the arch on the sand, the couple in the wind. It works best with a clear opening image, one or two moments that carry emotion, such as a single line of the vows or the kiss, and an ending in the warm light near sunset. Upload the day, name those beats in the preference questions, and WeddingEditor's AI editing makes the teaser as a widescreen MP4.
A teaser is a taste of the day, not a summary of it. Pick fewer moments and say which one closes it.

How to brief a beach wedding teaser
- 1
Choose Social Teaser and upload
Create a project and choose Social Teaser as its edit. Upload the whole day so the edit has every option, from the getting-ready balcony to the reception terrace, along with any audio recorder files.
- 2
Name the opening and the closing
In the moments question, write the shot you want first, such as the arch with the sea behind it, and the shot you want last, such as the couple at the waterline at sunset. Add one or two beats in between and say which voice, if any, should be heard.
- 3
Receive it and decide when to share
After you buy One Wedding or use a plan credit and start processing, the teaser typically arrives in 24 to 72 hours. Watch it in the app, download the MP4, and share it with the couple when it suits you.
Opening and closing beats for a beach teaser
Pick one opening, one or two middle beats and one closing. Write them in that order.
Open: the empty aisle and the sea
The chairs or the petal aisle in the sand before guests arrive, wind moving the fabric on the arch. It tells viewers where they are before anyone appears.
Open: feet in the sand
A bride's bare feet or the guests' discarded sandals at the edge of the aisle; a small detail that says beach without a wide shot.
Middle: one line of the vows
A single sentence from the clip with the cleanest audio. One clear line carries more than several drowned by surf.
Middle: the kiss and the cheer
The officiant's pronouncement, the kiss and the guests on their feet, with petals or bubbles caught by the wind.
Close: the waterline at sunset
The couple walking along the edge of the water in the last warm light, the natural final image for most beach weddings.
Close: the run into the waves
If the couple ran toward the water after the ceremony, that burst of joy makes a strong last beat.
What a beach teaser needs
A first image of the place
Viewers decide quickly whether to keep watching. A shot of the water, the sand aisle or the arch tells them this is a beach wedding before a single face appears.
Fewer moments, chosen well
A teaser cannot hold the whole day. Pick the beats that only this wedding had, and leave the rest to the highlight or your own longer film.
Sound that is part of the place
The surf and the wind can carry a teaser between moments, as long as any spoken line you include is clear. Name the clip that has it.
An ending in the best light
Many beach teasers close on sunset footage because it is the warmest and most striking light of the day.
A widescreen edit, not a vertical reel
The Social Teaser is delivered as a 1080p widescreen MP4. There is no vertical version; if you want one for social posts, crop it yourself in your own editor.
One deliverable per project
A teaser project gives the teaser only. A Highlight Reel of the same beach wedding is a second project with its own purchase or credit.
Beach teaser beats and how to brief them
| Beat | Purpose | How to brief it |
|---|---|---|
| Opening image | Sets the place at once | "Open on the arch with the sea behind it." |
| The couple appears | Gives viewers someone to watch | "Then her walk across the sand with her dad." |
| One spoken line | Adds feeling without slowing the teaser | "One line of his vows from camera B." |
| The kiss | The emotional peak | "Must include the kiss and the cheer." |
| Closing image | Leaves viewers with the light of the day | "Close on the waterline at sunset." |
What is a beach wedding Social Teaser?
A Social Teaser is the second edit WeddingEditor offers alongside the Highlight Reel: a teaser cut of the wedding made by WeddingEditor's AI editing from the footage you upload. For a beach wedding it usually opens on the shore, touches the ceremony, and closes in the evening light.
It is not a vertical reel. The Social Teaser is a widescreen 1080p MP4, delivered without a vertical version. It is also not a Highlight Reel; that is a separate project.
Beach teaser questions
Can I get both a teaser and a highlight of the same beach wedding?
Yes, as two projects. Each project produces one edit, so the teaser and the highlight each use their own purchase or plan credit.
Can the teaser start with the sound of the waves?
Yes, if the waves are in your footage. The edit mixes recorded sound with music, so describe in the audio question how much of the surf you want under the opening before the music comes in.
Will it be ready to post as a vertical video?
No. The teaser is delivered in widescreen only. To post a vertical version, reframe the MP4 yourself in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro.
Should the teaser end on the sunset or the kiss?
Either works; it is your call. Write the closing beat in the moments question so the teaser knows where to land.
How do I ask for changes to the teaser?
Email your notes from the link in the app. Up to two revision rounds are included on the same teaser.
