Your people. Your wedding. Your film.
Wedding Video Editing Service: Included With Your Film Package
A lot of couples end up in the same place: someone filmed the wedding, the cards are full, and nobody knows who is going to turn hours of clips into something you can actually watch.
Editing is built into the package
That is the problem a wedding video editing service is supposed to solve. With Luv Film, the answer is built into the package. Editing is included with every wedding camcorder rental and with iPhone Film. You are not renting a camera and hoping the edit works itself out later.
This guide covers what is in the edit, who it is for, how the process works nationwide, and how pricing fits. It is not a pitch for “send us footage you already shot elsewhere” as a standard product—that is not how we sell.
What our wedding video editing includes
Wedding film editing at Luv Film is the step that turns guest-filmed or phone-based capture into a finished highlight film. Expect:
- A highlight film shaped from the footage your guests (or you) capture through the package
- Music, color, and pacing that fit a wedding film—not a raw dump of files
- Care for audio from moments like vows and speeches when the footage supports it
- Raw files returned after the cameras (or phone uploads) are in, so you keep the full archive
Highlight length and exact deliverables follow the package you book. Compare current details on the rental packages page rather than treating this guide as a contract. The important product rule is simple: camcorder rental always includes editing. There is no rental-only Luv Film option.
Who this wedding film editing is for
This service fits couples who want a guest-filmed or phone-based wedding film and a professional edit without hiring a full videography crew for every angle. It is a strong match if you:
- Want friends and family behind the camera for a personal, in-the-moment record
- Prefer not to spend weekends after the wedding learning editing software
- Want a clear path from footage to a finished film as part of one package
Camcorder packages are for couples who want shipped camcorders for guests to use, with editing included. iPhone Film is the phone-based alternative when that capture style fits better. Both include the edit as part of the offering.
If you already have footage from another source and only want an edit, that is bespoke only—not a standard offering. We do not market standalone editing of couple-owned footage as a product. For standard bookings, start with camcorder rental or iPhone Film.
How wedding video editing works
Nationwide shipping and remote editing mean you do not need a local studio appointment. The flow stays simple.
- 1
Footage in
Camcorders ship for the wedding (or you follow the iPhone Film upload process). Guests film the day. When footage is back with us, editing can start.
- 2
Editor review
An editor watches what was captured, selects the moments that tell the story, and builds the highlight.
- 3
Highlight film
Typical turnaround is about 2–3 weeks after raw footage is ready. Exact timing can vary with volume and package details—confirm current expectations when you book.
- 4
Delivery and raw files
You receive the finished film. Raw footage is returned as well (typically about a week after cameras are back for camcorder packages; follow current package terms for iPhone Film).
For the full rental logistics—shipping, timing, returns—read how wedding camcorder rental works. Editing is step four of that larger picture, not a separate checkout.
Our editors
Luv Film’s editing sits inside a wedding-film practice with deep experience: on the order of 10 years in weddings and 500+ films edited under the Matrimony Media brand family. The point is not a trophy shelf—it is that guest-filmed and phone-based footage gets treated like a real wedding film, not a weekend hobby project.
You still get the warmth of people who know you holding the camera. The edit is what makes that footage watchable years later.
Pricing: editing included in every package
You do not buy “editing” as a line item for standard packages. It is included. Current package prices:
- Single: $779
- Standard: $997
- Deluxe: $1,296
- iPhone Film: $597
Single, Standard, and Deluxe are camcorder packages with editing included. iPhone Film is a separate phone-based option with editing in the package—not a cheaper camcorder rental.

Tips for footage that edits well
Editors can only work with what was filmed. A little guidance for guests goes a long way:
- Ask people who want to film—not someone who feels stuck with a chore
- Call out a few moments that matter (getting ready, vows, first dance, speeches)
- Keep the camera moving through the day so it does not sit forgotten on a table
- Capture short messages and reactions; those often become the heart of the film
Good guest filming is relaxed, not a second job for the couple. The edit then has real material to work with.
Wedding film editing vs. a full videographer
A wedding video editing service tied to guest filming is not the same product as hiring a videographer for the day.
| Comparison | Guest-filmed package + edit | Traditional videographer |
|---|---|---|
| Who films | Your guests (or phone-based capture) | Hired professional / crew |
| Feel | Personal, inside the celebration | Directed, planned coverage |
| Edit | Included with Luv Film packages | Confirm in the quote |
| Best when | You want friends’ perspective + a finished film | You need dedicated pro coverage |
Many couples choose one path. Some budget for both. For a deeper comparison of guest-filmed packages versus hiring a videographer, start with the wedding camcorder rental packages page.
Wedding video editing FAQ
How much does wedding video editing cost?

How long does wedding video editing take?
Plan on about 2–3 weeks for the highlight film after raw footage is ready. Confirm current turnaround when you book.
Can you edit phone or camcorder footage from guests?
Yes. That is the core of the product—guest camcorder footage or phone-based capture through iPhone Film, edited into a highlight film.
Do we get the raw footage?
Yes. Raw files are returned so you keep the full archive. For camcorder packages, that is typically about a week after cameras return; follow current package terms for exact timing and for iPhone Film.
Can I choose the music?
Music is part of the finished film. Prefer specific tracks or a clear vibe? Ask when you book so expectations match what the current process supports.
Do you edit footage from other camera rentals or footage we already have?
Bespoke only—not a standard offering. Standard Luv Film packages include editing with our camcorder rental or iPhone Film. We do not market standalone editing of couple-owned footage as a product.
Is editing optional if we only want the cameras?
No. Camcorder rental always includes editing. The package is built so you leave with a path to a finished film, not just gear to return.
