Wedding teaser & trailer editing

A wedding teaser, or trailer, is a 30–60 second edit that gives your couple and their guests a first look at the film soon after the wedding. We deliver every teaser in both 16:9 and 9:16, so it plays properly on YouTube and Vimeo as well as Instagram and TikTok. It’s $149, with the first draft in 7 business days and 2 revisions.

The teaser is often the first piece of your work that the couple’s friends see. It’s when you’re most likely to be tagged and shared, and when an engaged guest asks “who filmed this?”

A fast teaser also buys you goodwill while the longer films are in progress. At 7 business days, or half that with rush (+$99), it arrives while everyone is still talking about the wedding.

• A hook in the first two seconds. A line of audio or a striking image. Not a slow fade from black.
• One emotional line, used sparingly. A vow or a toast line that makes people want the full film.
• Music with a clear build and a clean ending, not a fade-out.
• No spoilers. We hold back the strongest moments for the highlight film, unless you tell us otherwise.

A center crop from 16:9 cuts off faces, hands and half the action. For the vertical version, we recompose each shot:

• We reposition the frame shot by shot to keep faces and action centered.
• We swap in a tighter angle from another camera when a wide shot doesn’t work vertically.
• We keep key action clear of the bottom and right edges, where platforms place captions and buttons.
• On-screen text, if you use it, is placed and sized for a phone screen.

A teaser is a 30–60 second trailer for the whole wedding, delivered in widescreen and vertical. A social reel is a 15–60 second vertical-only cut built around one moment or idea, usually for your own marketing. A highlight film is the 4–6 minute story of the day. Teasers are $149, reels start at $99, and highlight films are $349.

The teaser is included in the Complete Suite ($699) with the highlight and full film.

Timing is most of a teaser’s value. A few approaches videographers use:

• Within a week or two of the wedding. Ride the wave of guest photos and posts. Order the teaser first; at 7 business days it lands well before the highlight film.
• Before the honeymoon ends. A teaser waiting when your couple gets home is a strong first impression.
• As a bridge to the full film. If your full film takes several weeks, the teaser keeps your couple happy in between.
• Right away, with rush. Rush (+$99) halves teaser turnaround if you’ve promised something fast.

• The full footage (we pick the moments), or a short list of moments you want included
• Your vow and speech audio, even if you only want one line used
• Your preferred track, or a mood for us to match with a licensed track
• Your logo or title card, if you end teasers with one
• Any moments to hold back for the highlight film

Thirty seconds suits social feeds and fast attention spans: one emotional line, a build, a clean ending. Sixty seconds gives room for a short story arc with two audio moments. Tell us your preference in the brief. If you’re unsure, we default to the shortest length that holds the story.
