how long will the final video be

The honest answer is that there's no single length, because a wedding film isn't really measured in minutes, it's shaped around your day. Most couples end up with a few different versions: a short highlights film of around three to five minutes that's set to music and easy to share, plus a longer feature film that runs the full ceremony, speeches and key formalities in real time. That feature can sit anywhere from twenty minutes to over an hour depending on how long your ceremony runs and how many speeches you have.

So when you're comparing videographers, the question to ask isn't just how long, it's what's actually included. A long file isn't automatically better. What you want is your vows captured in full, your celebrant and your partner's voices clear, the speeches uncut so you can hear every laugh and tear, and then a tighter highlights piece you'll actually rewatch and send to family. The two work together: the highlights for sharing, the full film for keeping.

One thing worth knowing for a Queensland wedding is that the run sheet drives the length more than anything. A relaxed afternoon ceremony at somewhere like Sandstone Point with three or four speeches at the reception will naturally give a longer feature than a short, intimate ceremony with one toast. We talk all of this through with you beforehand so you know roughly what to expect, and every minute is edited in-house by us here in Brisbane, never outsourced offshore, so the storytelling and the pacing actually feel like your day.
