Seven ways to capture video
| Option | What you get | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Shorter professional package | Coverage of selected hours | Exactly which moments and edits are included |
| Ceremony-only videographer | A professional record of the vows | Audio, delivery and whether speeches are included |
| Newer filmmaker or student | A person dedicated to filming | Portfolio, contract, experience and backup equipment |
| Wedding content creator | Phone-shot clips or short edits | Delivery, audio and how the creator works with your photographer |
| Friend filming plus an editor | Footage captured by someone you know | Recording responsibilities and the editor's deliverables |
| Phone on a tripod | A fixed view of a chosen moment | Venue rules, battery, sound and a person to monitor it |
| Guest clips in a QR album | Candid moments from different people | Consent, file limits and a separate plan for key moments |
Ask vendors for a written quote and examples. Shorter coverage can still mean an edited film; raw guest clips need someone to edit them if you want a finished video.
Protect the moments you cannot repeat
| Moment | Simple plan |
|---|---|
| Ceremony | Ask the venue about recording, then assign a person or professional |
| Speeches | Test sound and place the phone where it will not block guests |
| Reception | Invite guests to share short clips afterward |
OwnPix accepts videos up to 30 MB and three minutes. Longer or larger original recordings need another transfer method. Ask people before recording or sharing private moments.
