A Same Day Edit is exactly what it sounds like! 🙂 We film the ceremony and the events leading up to it, just like a traditional wedding video. The difference is, with a Same Day Edit, we are working in tandem with one of our lightning-fast editors. The editor comes to the site of the wedding and works in a discreet place, grabbing footage from the filmer as the day progresses. They quickly cut the raw material into a one song highlights video, set to a song of your choice. Then, they set up a screen and projector at the reception, and everyone gets to see the festivities rendered in a thrilling cinematic form. (You have the option of the videographer filming the reception as well, to be included in the final video.)
Now, you might be wondering, “Do people really want to sit and watch what they’ve already seen earlier that day?” Well, quite often, yes! The actual events go by so quickly, and many people in the wedding party are too busy to really appreciate the moment while it lasts. But at the reception, everyone can kick back with a drink and watch the highlights of the getting ready, portraits, and ceremony set to exciting, moving music. When people see the Same Day Edit, they always cheer for the bride walking down the aisle, for the ring bearers and flower girls, for the altar kiss, etc. It’s an affirming and joyous way to punctuate the journey of your wedding!
Do you have any guests who can make it to the reception but not the ceremony? No worries! They’ll be all caught up once they see the Same Day Edit.Â
Much like a How We Met video, the Same Day Edit is a fantastic way to engage your guests at the reception. Make them laugh, cry, and cheer with a super cool, professional highlights video, made by us at Tower Studios!Â
