The footage to gather
- A location before the session
- A short direction to the couple
- The resulting image with permission
Give each moment a little breathing room. Get close enough to show the detail, and keep the original clips handy.
Plan a practical app shortlist
Start with the material you have and the outcome you need.
Test a brief-led editor, a timeline editor and a workflow-specific alternative using the same project.
Keep the app whose result you can revise and verify.
Review it for wedding photographers
Use only footage and photographs cleared for promotional use.
Ask yourself: Which app gives you the required control without unnecessary work?
Watch it as if you were seeing it for the first time. If something is unclear, try a different cut or add the missing shot.
Build a three-app shortlist
“Best” depends on the material, the control you need and how you revise the output. Use these three different approaches as a starting point.
