Guest phone videos

Your guests' phone videos, edited into your wedding film

With The Wedding Camcorder's Deluxe ($999) and Full Feature ($1,399) kits, your guests scan a code to upload the videos they took on their phones, and we edit the best of them into your film alongside the camcorder footage. Nothing the camcorder missed has to get lost.

How do guests send us their videos?

They scan a code and upload from their phone. Clips come to us, not to a group chat, and we pick the moments that fill gaps in the camcorder footage: a reaction from across the room, the part of the toast the camcorder missed, the send-off.

If you use Text My Wedding (from the same team) to text your guests, it can also collect their photos and videos by text.

Which packages include guest phone clips?

  • Deluxe, $999: two camcorders and a 5–7 min film with guest phone clips, in 14 days.
  • The Full Feature, $1,399: three camcorders and an 8–10 min film with guest phone clips, plus the full ceremony and toasts, in 7 days.

The Raw Tape and Core ($749) don't include them, and it isn't sold as an add-on.

Why not just use phone videos?

Phones catch quick clips, then go back in pockets. A camcorder gets passed from table to table, so it catches the toasts, the dance floor and messages from guests. The two work best together: the camcorder is the backbone of the film, and phone clips fill in what it missed.

What are the limits?

We can only use what guests upload, and phone clips vary a lot in quality, so some won't make the cut. Guest footage, from camcorders or phones, isn't a replacement for a professional videographer's ceremony coverage or audio. If clean audio of your vows matters most, book a videographer for the ceremony and let your guests film the rest.
