A church wedding teaser from the doors to the bells
A church teaser has a ready-made frame: the doors open at the start and the bells ring at the end. Many open on the building or the first notes of the organ, cut to the walk down the aisle and one line of the vows from the clearest angle you were allowed, and close on the couple bursting out onto the steps into confetti. Choose the Social Teaser when you create the project, write those beats into the preference questions, and WeddingEditor's AI editing makes the teaser as a widescreen 1080p MP4.
The teaser stays with you until you choose to share it. WeddingEditor sends nothing to the couple.

How to brief a church teaser
- 1
Pick Social Teaser and upload everything
Choose the Social Teaser deliverable and upload the full day: exterior shots of the church, the arrival, every camera from the service, and the steps outside. Wide shots of the building and the nave are useful here even if they seem like filler.
- 2
Choose a first and last beat
In the must-include question, say what the teaser opens on and what it ends on. Name the camera with the clearest view of the vows and the one line you want heard, and say whether the organ should lead the sound at the start.

Watch it, then share it on your schedule
Buy One Wedding or use a credit and start processing; it typically takes 24 to 72 hours. Watch the teaser in the app, download it and send it when you choose. Up to two revision rounds by email are included.
Opening and closing beats for a church teaser
A church gives a teaser natural bookends. These are beats videographers often ask for.
Open: the building
"Open on the wide of the church with the bells, or the tower against the sky."
Open: the doors
"Start on the church doors opening and the organ starting."
Middle: the aisle
"Her father looking at her halfway down the aisle."
Middle: one vow
"His line 'in every season' from camera B."
Close: the steps
"End on the confetti throw on the steps."
Close: the car
"Finish on the couple in the back of the car, the church behind."
What a church teaser needs
A recognizable setting
The nave, the windows or the tower tell the viewer at once that this was a church wedding. One establishing image near the start is usually enough.
The aisle
The walk down the aisle is the most familiar church image. If you had a clear angle on it, name that clip.
One spoken line
With fixed camera positions, choose the vow or blessing line that was recorded most clearly.
An exit to land on
The recessional, the bells and the steps give a teaser its burst of energy at the end.
Widescreen, one project
The Social Teaser is a 1080p H.264 MP4 in widescreen and the only edit its project makes. There is no vertical version.
Organ, a voice and music
The teaser can open on the organ you recorded and let music build the momentum, with one clear line of the vows cutting through. Your audio preference sets the mix.
Church teaser beats and how to brief them
| Beat | Purpose | How to brief it |
|---|---|---|
| Church exterior | Sets the place | "Tower and bells, first shot." |
| Doors and organ | The start of the ceremony | "Doors open as the organ begins." |
| Aisle walk | The emotional entrance | "Father and daughter, halfway down." |
| One vow line | A voice from the ceremony | "Her vow line, balcony angle." |
| Kiss | The turning point | "The kiss and the applause." |
| Steps and confetti | A joyful close | "Confetti on the steps, last shot." |
What is a church wedding Social Teaser?
A Social Teaser is the WeddingEditor deliverable for a teaser of the wedding, built from its strongest images and a little of its sound. For a church wedding it usually runs from the doors to the steps, with one spoken line between. WeddingEditor's AI editing makes it from the footage in your project.
It is not a vertical reel. The teaser is delivered in widescreen 1080p, and any vertical crop for phones is one you make yourself.
Church teaser questions
Can the teaser open on the organ instead of a picture of the couple?
Yes. Name the opening beat in the must-include question, for example the doors opening as the organ begins, and the teaser will build from it.
I could not film from the front of the church. Can I still get a good teaser?
Usually. A teaser leans on a few strong images, and the aisle walk, a wide of the nave and the steps outside work from the back and the side. Name the angles you had.
Will the teaser include a reading?
Only if you ask, and usually only a line. A teaser rarely has room for more than one spoken moment, so choose between a reading and a vow.
Can I get both a church teaser and a church highlight?
Yes, as two projects. Each project produces one edit and uses its own purchase or credit.
Will WeddingEditor post or send the teaser for me?
No. You download it and decide when and where it goes; nothing is sent to the couple.
What does a church teaser cost?
One Wedding is $119 one-time for one wedding, whichever deliverable the project uses; on a plan it uses one credit.
