Wedding video editing by wedding type and venue
An elopement on a trail and a church wedding with three hundred guests produce very different footage, and the wedding decides the structure of the film. These guides cover the common wedding types and venues: what the light and sound are usually like, what to film, and what to write in the preference questions so the Highlight Reel or Social Teaser fits the day.

Questions
Does the venue change what I upload?
You upload the same way for every wedding: the video and audio files from every camera. The venue changes what you write in the preference questions, such as which moments matter and what to leave out.
Can a very short ceremony still make a Highlight Reel?
A Highlight Reel is built around about 5 minutes, so it needs enough footage across the day. For a short courthouse or elopement ceremony with little else filmed, a Social Teaser may fit better.
Which edit should I choose for a small wedding?
Choose the Highlight Reel to tell the whole day, or the Social Teaser to make people feel it in a short, trailer-like edit. Each project produces one edit.
