How Celebrities Get Wedding Videos Right (And You Can Too)

When it comes to wedding videos, even celebrities—who have access to the best stylists, planners, and production crews—still want the same thing most couples do: a film that feels personal, timeless, and real. Their advice isn’t just for the rich and famous. It’s for anyone who wants their wedding film to be more than just a highlight reel.

Here’s what a few high-profile names have shared about their own experiences—and what you can take away from them.

1. Priyanka Chopra: Make It Personal

After her lavish wedding to Nick Jonas, Priyanka emphasised the importance of including personal moments in their wedding video, like the couple reading love letters and behind-the-scenes laughter with family.

Takeaway: Don’t focus only on the ceremony and speeches. Ask your videographer to capture the little interactions—your dad adjusting your tie, your gran dancing during soundcheck, your partner rehearsing their vows under their breath. These moments often carry the most emotion.

2. Beyoncé & Jay-Z: Keep It Intimate

Their wedding was famously private, but years later Beyoncé included a few intimate clips in her music video for All Night. Candlelight, close-ups, a handwritten note. No spectacle. Just intimacy.

Takeaway: A wedding film doesn’t have to be grand to be powerful. Focus on mood and meaning, not just the visuals. Lighting, sound, and pacing can create intimacy even in the biggest venues.

3. Hailey Bieber: Trust Your Team

Hailey Bieber worked with professional cinematographers to document her wedding with Justin Bieber. In interviews, she’s mentioned how they trusted the creative team to craft something beautiful rather than micromanaging every shot.

Takeaway: Choose a videographer whose style you love, then let them work. The best wedding films are made when the couple feels free to enjoy the day rather than perform for the camera.

4. Sofia Richie: Go for a Cinematic Feel

Sofia Richie’s 2023 wedding video went viral not because it was flashy, but because it looked like a film. Her team used vintage lenses, natural light, and subtle colour grading to evoke timeless elegance.

Takeaway: Cinematic doesn’t mean overproduced. It means thoughtful composition, pacing, and editing. If you want a film that holds up in 30 years, aim for style over spectacle.

5. David Beckham: Don’t Forget the Fun

In the Beckham Netflix documentary, you get glimpses of their wedding reception—filled with music, dancing, and joy. David has often said the moments he remembers most aren’t the posed photos, but the energy in the room.

Takeaway: Make space for fun. Let the camera roll when the band starts playing and your uncle busts out his questionable dance moves. You’ll want to remember how the day felt, not just how it looked.

Final Thought

Celebrities have the luxury of big budgets, but what makes their wedding videos unforgettable isn’t the money—it’s the meaning.

A good wedding film tells a story. A great one tells your story. So take a tip from the stars: go personal, go intimate, and let your day unfold naturally on camera.
