How to edit a video for wedding planner portfolio

Turn setup, ceremony and reception clips from one approved wedding into a story for wedding planning agencies. Preserve the genuine first response and connect it with the moment that caused it.

Give the video a clear purpose

Preserve the genuine first response and connect it with the moment that caused it.

Think about what wedding planning agencies need the viewer to understand first. Use the opening to establish that idea, then let the next shots add detail.

Build your shot list

  1. The empty or prepared venue
  2. Staff completing the setup
  3. The finished table design
  4. The couple entering the space
  5. The full reception reveal

Put the moments in order

Open with the couple entering the space. Connect it to staff completing the setup and the empty or prepared venue, then use the finished table design to add detail. Finish with the full reception reveal.

Use only supplied names or a short event label; leave faces clear.
