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.

Top 10 Things to Have Filmed on Your Wedding Day

From getting ready to late-night dancing, here are 10 moments you’ll be glad you captured on video from your wedding day.

Your wedding day is going to move faster than you think.

You’ll spend months planning it, and then somehow the entire thing happens in what feels like a few hours. The best wedding footage isn’t necessarily the perfectly staged stuff, either. It’s usually the little moments happening between the big ones.

If you’re deciding what you want captured, here are ten things we think deserve a spot on the camera.

1. Getting Ready

The morning of your wedding has its own personality. Music playing. People running around. Someone looking for a missing shoe. Your friends realizing that, yes, you’re actually getting married today.

Film the chaos.

Years from now, it might be one of your favorite parts to watch.

2. Your Parents

Get footage of your parents throughout the day—not just during the formal moments.

Capture your mom watching you get ready. Your dad talking to relatives. Your parents dancing together. Little conversations you might not even notice while they’re happening.

These clips become more meaningful with time.

3. Your Friends Being Themselves

Some of the best wedding footage happens when your closest friends forget there’s a camera around.

Inside jokes. Terrible dancing. Stories from college. Someone giving an unsolicited marriage speech at 11:47 p.m.

Keep the camera rolling. You’ll be glad you have the unfiltered moments in ten years when you want to relive the week.

4. The First Looks

Whether it’s with your partner, your dad, your bridesmaids or someone else you love, reactions are made for video.

A photograph freezes the expression.

Video lets you hear the laugh afterward.

5. The Moments Right Before the Ceremony

There’s something special about the few minutes before everything starts.

The groom standing with his friends. The bride taking a deep breath. Guests finding their seats. Parents hugging relatives.

There’s anticipation in those moments that’s hard to recreate.

6. Your Vows

You may remember what you said. You probably won’t remember exactly how you said it.

Having the voices, pauses, laughter and emotion preserved makes wedding vows one of the most valuable things you can record.

7. Your Grandparents

If your grandparents are able to attend your wedding, film them.

Ask them a question. Have them tell a story. Capture them dancing or talking at dinner.

You will never regret having too much footage of the people you love.

8. Cocktail Hour

While you’re taking portraits, an entirely different wedding is happening without you.

Old friends are reconnecting. Family members are meeting. Drinks are being poured. Stories are being told.

Give someone a camera and let them wander.

9. The Dance Floor

This one is obvious.

But don’t just film it from across the room. Get in there.

The closer and messier the footage gets, the better. Weddings are supposed to feel alive.

10. Messages From Your Guests

At some point during the night, pass a camera around and ask guests to leave you a message.

Some will give heartfelt marriage advice. Some will say something completely ridiculous.

Both are worth keeping.

One day you won’t care how perfect your wedding film looks; you’ll just want to hear what Uncle Bob thought passed for a good joke.

Film the Wedding You Actually Had

Your wedding film doesn’t have to look like a movie set.

Sometimes the shaky camera, someone laughing behind the lens, or a friend accidentally zooming in way too far is exactly what makes the footage feel real.

That’s the idea behind Your Parents’ Wedding Video: putting nostalgic cameras into the hands of the people who know you best, then turning everything they capture into a wedding film that actually feels like your wedding.
