What an amazing day yesterday for Meredith and Mark’s wedding. It was a great experience and everything was beautiful, from Meredith, Mark, wedding party and First Christian Church to the reception at Valley River Inn. (I’ve heard rumor that the food was great also, but I wouldn’t know first hand as we were under the gun to get the Same Day Edit finished). 

Thanks to Brittney at the Valley River Inn, Elaine of First Christian Church and photographers, Aaron and Amber of New Morning Photography, for being great to work with.

Below, are a couple of stills pulled from the video. We’ll have the same day edit within a couple of hours – it’s encoding now.

How to do a Same Day Wedding Edit: Part One

This is the first part of a series of posts describing how Vivid Wedding Films puts together a Same Day Wedding edit.

One of the things we love most about producing wedding films is the story behind each couple. Good visuals, lighting and audio are very important, but if you can’t tell a story, then your film won’t add up to much.

We pride ourselves on being great story-tellers at every level of the production. It begins with the way we film – what you capture through your lens is much like the “ideas and words” authors use to tell stories. While filming, we’re already beginning to think about the edit and how we’ll tell the story – and without a doubt, each story is unique. Being able to see the story unfold before us is what separates us from a lot of wedding videographers.

Editing a Same Day Edit + Love Story is sort of like reverse-engineering the story – or edit. After interviewing the couple, we begin to piece together their story, while thinking about how it will integrate with shots from their actual wedding day. As you can see in the photo below, we leave “gaps” in the story for which images and audio from the day will occupy.

For us, this is the fun part: not knowing exactly how the story will unfold and being flexible enough to alter any ideas we had going into the day. As we lead up to Meredith and Mark’s Same Day Edit, June 19th, we’ll be passing along more insight into the process of “telling their story” using the Same Day Edit + Love Story.

We just finished up shooting the Love Story portion of Meredith and Mark’s Same Day Edit. They’re getting married June 19, here in Eugene. It was great shoot and we had lots of fun interviewing both of them.

They did a great job sharing their story and it’s going to come across great as we weave it into the video that will play – along with footage from their wedding day – at the reception. Here’s a couple of stills from the video we shot.
