Why Audio Matters in Our Wedding Videos / Drake Wedding

WHAT IS SPOKEN

When shooting and editing wedding videos, countless decisions are made that affect how the story of the wedding day is told in the video. With each of our weddings, although we obviously focus on getting quality footage, we pay special attention to the audio we capture and use in the video. This is easy to overlook because we all want to see the bride’s dress, the groom’s smile, the beautiful venue, and the guests having a great time. But I would argue that what is spoken during the day (the vows, the officiant's words, the toasts, etc.) may actually be the most important thing to capture.

I spend a lot of time weaving the audio of the day throughout the video in a meaningful way. It would be much easier to use a song with lyrics and not think about the recorded audio, but we believe it makes for a much more impactful, memorable, and meaningful final product when the audio and video have been carefully weaved together.

Check out our most recent wedding highlight video below and pay attention to the pastor’s words, the way the bride and groom speak to one another, and the toasts that were given by their dear friends and family members, and think about what those words will mean to this couple years down the road.
