Glamnuptials: My wedding movie trailer
Alright I can’t wait any longer and must share this with you. I know I’m not finished doing all my recap posts, but I am way too excited to wait until I am done the recaps. One thing I loved about our wedding was our videographer. We were so lucky to have Wes Jones of Film Jones come to Montreal to film our wedding in 8 mm, not to mention that he was also great to work with. His footage truly captured the whole theme of our Vintage Glam wedding, and I would hire him all over again in a heart beat.
At first Marc-André didn’t want a wedding video because he didn’t want to force our friends and family to watch a 1 hour video… and I completely understood. I wanted to have a wedding movie-esque trailer, a short film with all the important moments of the wedding… packed with lots of emotion sort of like a movie. So I went ahead and edited our wedding footage into a really short wedding trailer - a total of 9 minutes. Yup that’s it!
Our Wedding Trailer.

I used the Mac program Final Cut Express to do all the editing. Luckily my friend had the program and helped me a whole lot (Thanks Isabel!!!). The program isn’t very complicated, and with Google you can find many tutorials online. Because I compressed the movie quite a bit, the movie lost a lot of details and the 8mm effect isn’t as great as the original movie. But I think you will get the overall feel.
Music used in this montage:
- song: Finding Beauty by Craig Armstrong
- song: Memories by The Sequel
- song: Make You Feel My Love by Adele
- song: Meaning by Gavin DeGraw
- song: We Are Man & Wife by Michelle Featherstone
So do you like it? Will you be editing your wedding video?

Editing your own wedding movie allowed you to include what was important to you and Marc-Andre and to create just the feeling you wanted. It felt authentic and real. You did a great job of editing the beautiful images (you were a beautiful bride!) to the music. And, you are a great example to other brides that you CAN do it!
