🎥 How Long Should a Wedding Video Be? What to Expect from Your Videographer

If you’re planning a wedding in Birmingham, Huntsville, or Gadsden, one of the most common questions couples ask us is:

“How long will my wedding video be?”

At JNF Weddings, we offer different types of films to match each couple’s vision. Some want a quick emotional highlight, others want full coverage from the moment they start getting ready to the last sparkler send-off.

Here’s a breakdown of what to expect:

🎬 1. The Highlight Film (1–6 minutes)

This is the most popular wedding video format.It’s a beautifully edited recap of your day, filled with emotional moments, cinematic music, and storytelling transitions.

At JNF Weddings, we offer:

• 1–2 minute highlight films in our Bronze package

• 2–4 minute edits in the Silver package

• 4–6 minute cinematic films in the Gold package

🎯 Perfect for: sharing on social media, rewatching often, and capturing the emotion of the day.

🎥 2. Full Ceremony Film (15–45 minutes)

This is a real-time edit of your ceremony with full audio, multiple camera angles, and every word of your vows.

🎯 Pro Tip: Always ask your videographer how they capture sound—at JNF Weddings, we mic up both the officiant and the groom to ensure crystal-clear audio.

🎉 3. Full-Day Documentary Edit (45–90 minutes)

This longer edit includes:

• Full ceremony

• Full toasts

• First dances

• Key reception moments (like cake cutting, speeches, bouquet toss)

• Additional behind-the-scenes footage

🎯 Pro Tip: This is ideal for couples who want to relive everything, not just the highlights.

📲 4. 1-Minute Teaser Trailer

Included in our Platinum Package, this is a fast-paced, Instagram-ready trailer to share with friends and family right after the wedding.

🎯 Why it works: It's short, emotional, and easy to post on social media within days of your wedding.

💡 So… What’s the Right Length for You?

It all depends on:

• How much of the day you want covered

• How you plan to use the film (watching privately vs. sharing online)

• Whether you want something short and sweet or a full-length cinematic keepsake

We help our couples choose the right package based on their schedule, venue, and vision.
