How much does it cost?

The Classic Package is $845 and includes the camcorder rental, shipping both ways, and a fully edited wedding video. Add-ons: Digital Disposable ($195) and Honeymoon ($345).

How does the camcorder rental process work?

You book online, the camcorder ships to you before the wedding, your guests film the day, and you ship the camcorder back afterward using a provided return label.

How long does it take to get the video?

Raw footage is delivered within about a week of the wedding. The final edited video, 3 to 5 minutes long, is delivered digitally within about a month of the wedding.

Is this a replacement for a wedding videographer or an add-on?

Either. It works as a standalone, budget-friendly alternative to a professional videographer, or as an add-on alongside one for extra full-day, guest's-eye-view footage a single hired camera won't capture.

What happens if the camcorder is lost or damaged?

The guest using the camcorder is responsible for it. If it's lost or damaged, that guest is required to pay for the loss or damage.

How far in advance should we book?

At least two months before your wedding date.

What do we actually receive at the end?

A 3 to 5 minute edited wedding video plus the raw footage, both delivered digitally. Raw footage arrives within a week of the wedding; the edited video follows within about a month.

Do you only serve certain cities?

No. The camcorder ships anywhere in the United States by mail, so there's no need to be near a specific city or a physical storefront.

8 Wedding Moments Couples Often Forget to Film

Aug 31

Written By Jerod Wood

These overlooked wedding moments often become the most meaningful footage. Make sure they make it into your wedding video.

Everyone remembers to film the kiss.

But what about everything else?

Wedding schedules naturally focus on major events: ceremony, speeches, dances and cake cutting.

Yet when couples look back at their wedding footage years later, the smaller moments often become their favorites.

Here are eight worth looking out for.

1. The Morning Before Everyone Gets Dressed

There is something wonderful about the wedding before it officially becomes a wedding.

Coffee cups everywhere.

Makeup getting started.

Someone still wearing sweatpants.

Friends hanging around.

Film a little of it.

2. Your Parents Arriving

Watch what your parents do when they first see everything.

This is a huge day for them too.

3. Guests Before the Ceremony

Before you arrive, people who haven't seen each other in years are hugging, laughing and catching up.

Capturing guests gives you a glimpse of the wedding you didn't get to experience.

4. Walking Away After the Ceremony

Everyone films you walking toward the altar.

Keep filming afterward.

Some of the best reactions happen seconds after the ceremony when the pressure disappears and you realize:

We just got married.

5. Dinner Table Conversations

You don't need to document everyone's entire meal.

But a few moments around the tables can be wonderful.

Grandparents talking.

Kids being kids.

Friends laughing together.

It's a portrait of your community at that moment in time.

6. Older Family Members Dancing

Always film this.

No further explanation necessary.

7. The Wedding After It Gets Messy

At some point ties loosen.

Shoes disappear.

Hair changes.

The dance floor gets sweaty.

That's when the wedding starts getting really good.

Don't put the camera away.

8. The Very End

Film the quiet part.

The nearly empty venue.

Your friends helping carry things out.

The two of you leaving.

There's something beautiful about seeing the day wind down.

Don't Just Capture the Events

Capture the atmosphere around them.

That's one reason we encourage people using Your Parents’ Wedding Video cameras to film freely instead of worrying about getting everything "right."

You're not making a commercial.

You're preserving a day.
