Your wedding videography isn’t just a record of the day — it’s a creative film that tells your story, your way. If you're planning your wedding video for 2025 and want something modern, stylish, and unforgettable, here’s a look at the trends and fashionable touches brides are asking for right now.
1. Story-Driven Films
Forget traditional start-to-finish timelines. Brides today are asking for videos that focus on telling a story — how you met, what you love about each other, and why this day matters. These story-driven edits mix vows, speeches, personal voiceovers, and cinematic shots to create something deeply personal.
Include:
Recorded letters to each other
Private vows not spoken during the ceremony
Snippets of speeches, woven in as narration
2. "Golden Hour" Shoots
Sunset sessions aren’t just for photographs anymore. More couples are stepping away from the reception for 20 minutes at golden hour to capture romantic, glowing footage that feels effortless and cinematic.
Tip:Work with your planner to build this into the timeline — the results are stunning.
3. Fashion Editorial Style
Think Vogue bridal shoot, but in motion. Brides are loving dramatic, high-fashion moments captured in a documentary style — sweeping veils, luxurious fabrics, confident slow-motion walks, and creative, bold framing.
Include:
A few planned fashion shots after getting dressed
Movement-focused clips: spinning dresses, trailing veils, close-ups of accessories

4. Super 8 Film Moments
Super 8 cameras are back. Many wedding filmmakers are offering the option to shoot parts of the day on real vintage film (or emulate the style digitally). The result is nostalgic, textured, and stylish — like a home movie from the 1970s but sharper.
Popular choices for Super 8:
First look
Just married moments after the ceremony
Dancing at the reception
5. Voiceovers and Audio Highlights
Pure music videos are fading out. Today’s brides are asking for authentic audio layered over their films — meaning snippets of vows, teary speeches, laughter, and words from the day.
Include:
Morning letters read aloud
Clips of emotional moments, like your dad’s toast or your maid of honour's speech
Private messages recorded before the ceremony
6. Champagne Pops and Afterparty Energy
Couples don’t want the camera to switch off after the first dance. Some of the best footage now comes from the party — champagne sprays, late-night dancefloor moments, outfit changes, and second looks.
Trending now:
Capturing your "reception reveal" with a second, party-ready outfit
Candid, fast-cut edits of you and your guests on the dancefloor
7. Intentional "Slow Moments"
In a day that flies by, slow intentional moments are becoming more popular — like pausing together after the ceremony to take it all in, without guests around. Videographers are creating beautiful, cinematic sequences from these quieter pockets of the day.
Ideas:
A private first look or last dance
A quiet walk together away from the venue, captured from a distance
8. Sneak Peek Edits
No one wants to wait months anymore. Fast-turnaround highlight reels are in demand — a 60-second preview you can post or share within a week of the wedding.
Pro Tip:Ask about adding a "Next-Day" or "Week-Of" teaser film to your package.
