How To Personalise Your Wedding Video With Music & Titles
As your wedding videographer, we want to offer some info on how to personalise your wedding video.
Being your wedding videographer means we play a crucial role in documenting your special day, capturing the details that make it uniquely yours.
Let’s take it a step further and add your personal touch to make the edit truly yours!
We love to include as many personal touches as possible to ensure every edit is as unique as possible. We would appreciate it if you could provide the following information.
Choose Your Own Video Title
The first step in how to personalise your wedding video is to choose from 20 fabulous titles to customise the opening chapter of your video. We can customise your title credits to include your name and wedding date (note that the date isn’t available on all title options).
See the options right here (best viewed on a large screen).
Choose Your Own Music
During video editing, we add music. To truly personalise your wedding video, we only ever use music chosen by our couples, because only you can select music you know and love.
Select songs that are special to you as a couple. Whether it’s the song you danced to on your first date or a track that perfectly captures your relationship with each other, the right music can enhance the emotional impact.
You may select any music you like, while keeping the following in mind.
- Your choice of music will dictate the pace of the edit. The faster the tempo, the faster the pace of changes between each shot. A slow-paced ballad will have a more laid-back feel than an uptempo banger! However, don’t be afraid to use any song; we can make most songs fit the edit well.
- If you have any songs played on the actual wedding day, for example, as you walk up the aisle or your first dance song, please supply these in addition to another eight songs that can be used in the rest of the edit.
- It is unlikely that we will use all eight songs. We might use only part of a song, or some of the songs might not be used at all. The eight songs form a pool from which we can choose.
- If possible, try to avoid including songs that are less than 3 minutes long.
Where We Use Your Music
We don’t usually add any music, and we rely on the ambient audio recorded by the cameras and microphones for the following parts of your video:
- Ceremony
- Speeches
- Top table/couple announced for dinner
- Dancing in the evening
- Cake cutting
We do add your choice of music as a backing track over the following parts of the day (we may or may not film these parts of the day, depending on the package booked):
- Drone footage
- Pre-ceremony coverage, including bride and groom preparations, family and guest arrivals at the venue and venue ‘establishing shots’
- Post-ceremony drinks reception, including a confetti shot
- Family group photo session
- Newlywed photo session
- Evening drinks reception
- Shorter highlights edit of the day
How To Supply Your Song Choices
- We ask that you select your eight favourite songs and provide them to us, preferably as high-quality MP3 files (320 kbps ideally), or via the TransferNow website.
- Alternatively, find your songs on YouTube, copy the URL (the web address at the top of the page), and email us the eight links. We’ll take care of the rest.
How to Personalise Your Wedding Video: Final Notes
Please note that your video will be added to our editing schedule immediately after your wedding day; however, no video editing will commence until we receive your music choices and title selection.
If we receive your choices by the time your video is first in the editing queue, we will commence editing. Any delay may result in you losing your position in the editing queue.
The sooner we receive your choices, the sooner we can begin editing your video.
We appreciate your help and input, and hope you found this guide on how to personalise your wedding video useful!
Frequently Asked Questions: How To Personalise Your Wedding Video
How To personalise Your Wedding Video to Reflect Your Personality?
You can personalise your wedding video by selecting custom opening titles, choosing a soundtrack that reflects your journey as a couple, and including “real-time” audio, such as your vows or speeches. Whether you are hosting a grand celebration at one of the best castle wedding venues in Scotland or an intimate city gathering, our cinematic approach ensures your film is as unique as your day.
Can we choose our own music for our cinematic wedding film?
Yes, choosing your own music is the most effective way to make your film feel personal. We ask our couples to provide approximately eight of their favourite songs, which we use to pace the edit and match the specific atmosphere of your celebration. For inspiration on how different music styles complement various settings, feel free to browse our wedding film portfolio featuring a variety of Edinburgh wedding venues.
Are we able to include drone footage in our wedding video?
Absolutely. Drone cinematography is a fantastic way to personalise your film by capturing the scale and beauty of your chosen location. From the dramatic ramparts of a historic fortress to the manicured grounds of Carlowrie Castle, aerial footage adds a high-end, cinematic feel to your Scottish wedding video.
How do we include our wedding vows and speeches in the film?
We use professional, discreet audio recording equipment to capture your vows and speeches in crystal-clear quality. Incorporating these personal words into your edit transforms a standard video into a narrative-driven film. This is particularly popular for destination weddings and elopements, where the story of the day is centred on your promises to one another.
How long does a personalised wedding film usually last?
The length of your film depends on the package you choose, but a typical personalised “Highlights Film” is around 5 to 12 minutes long—perfect for sharing online with friends and family. We also provide longer “Feature Films” that include full coverage of your ceremony and speeches. You can view our different options on our prices and packages page.
How do we book a videographer for a custom wedding film in Scotland?
To ensure we are available for your date, we recommend contacting us as soon as you have your venue secured. We specialise in creating bespoke films for couples across the UK and would love to discuss how we can bring your unique wedding vision to life with our award-winning videography and photography services.
5-Star Reviews
When you choose us as your Edinburgh wedding videographer, we guarantee you a fabulous video and the very best service, but don’t just take our word for it:
We had a great time and felt so comfortable!
Jonathon and Claire are the loveliest couple… from our very first communication, they made us feel special and were so interested in who we are as people! They tailored everything just for us, and had they not radiated such beauty and kindness, we wouldn’t have even known they were there… and for two people like us who HATE getting photos taken, we had a great time and felt so comfortable!
We got married on 31st December, and they gave up their own celebrations with their families to help us capture ours…
We truly hit the jackpot, and wouldn’t ever trust anyone else to capture our special celebrations and moments!
Please don’t pass up the opportunity on having these two look after your special day! Very trustworthy and fantastic value for money.We absolutely love our wedding pictures
Jonathon and Claire – we cannot thank you both enough for being the best – from start to finish, it has been a dream to work with you both! If you are reading this and considering booking – DO IT!!
Thank you both SO MUCH for everything, we absolutely love our wedding pictures and how beautifully you have captured our day and the memories we’ll have forever – we are still so blown away by how perfectly everything turned out and on an absolute high!
We also wanted to say how grateful we are to have had you both at our wedding. You were just such a joy to be around and put us both at ease.
You got us and the vibe of the day so perfectly, and our family and friends have also said how brilliant you both were! Thank you so much!!! Helen & Daniel xxx
