An elopement teaser that starts with the landscape and ends at blue hour
An elopement teaser works on scale. Many open on two small figures in a big landscape, a ridge, a lake shore or a desert road, then move close for a single quiet line from a letter or the vows, and end in the last light. Because there are no guests, every shot is of the couple or the place, which makes choosing the opening and closing beats easy to brief. Choose the Social Teaser when you create the project, list those beats in the preference questions, and WeddingEditor's AI editing turns them into a widescreen 1080p MP4.
You keep the teaser until you decide to send it. WeddingEditor never contacts the couple.

Set the scale, the line and the end
In the must-include question, describe the opening wide and the final image. In the audio question, give the one line you want heard and the track that recorded it. In the feel question, say whether it should be still and quiet or full of adventure.

What an elopement teaser needs
Scale
A wide that shows how small two people are against the place is the most recognizable elopement image.
Closeness
Cutting from the wide to faces or hands makes the teaser personal.
One quiet line
Elopement vows are often spoken softly. Choose a line that was recorded cleanly and stands alone.
A final light
Sunset, blue hour or a starry sky gives the teaser an ending that feels like the end of the day.
Widescreen 1080p MP4
The Social Teaser is delivered as a 1080p H.264 MP4 in widescreen; crop any vertical version yourself.
Sound and music together
Teasers often lean on music for momentum. Your audio preference decides how much room the one spoken line gets against it.
Elopement teaser beats and how to brief them
| Beat | Purpose | How to brief it |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape wide | Shows the scale of the place | "Drone pull-back from the ridge." |
| The couple close | Makes it personal | "Her laugh as the wind catches the veil." |
| One spoken line | The emotional center | "His vow line, recorder track." |
| Rings | The ceremony in one image | "Ring on her finger, lake behind." |
| Celebration | Energy | "Champagne on the rocks." |
| Last light | The ending | "Silhouettes at blue hour." |
What is an elopement Social Teaser?
A Social Teaser is the WeddingEditor deliverable for a teaser, built from the strongest images and a little of the sound. For an elopement it usually leans on the landscape, the couple within it and one quiet line, made by AI editing from the footage you upload.
It is not a vertical reel. The teaser is widescreen 1080p; make any vertical version for phones yourself after download.
Elopement teaser questions
Can the teaser open on the drone shot?
Yes, if you uploaded it. Name it as the opening beat, and add a second choice in case the first is not usable.
Is a teaser enough for a short elopement?
Often it is the right choice. If the ceremony was brief and at a single spot, a Social Teaser can make the most of your strongest images.
Can the teaser include a line from the letters instead of the vows?
Yes. Write the line and say which clip or track has it.
The wind is loud in most clips. Will the teaser be noisy?
Music can carry most of a teaser, so the wind matters less than you think. For the spoken line, name the quietest clip or the recorder track that caught it.
Will WeddingEditor deliver the teaser to the couple?
No. You download the MP4 and decide when they see it.
Can I also get a highlight of the elopement?
Yes, as a separate project with its own purchase or credit. Each project produces one edit.
