V/03 Every word, every angle

Full-length & documentary wedding film editing.

The ceremony, the speeches, and the first dances in full — multicam, cleanly mixed, and graded to match your highlight film. The archival edit couples come back to for decades.

The service

What full-length film editing with Alpha Edits looks like

Full-length edits are the least glamorous deliverable and the most time-consuming. Two or three cameras, a ceremony lav, a DJ feed, and a backup recorder all need syncing, and every switch between angles has to feel intentional over an hour or more of footage.

We edit documentary features with the same care as a highlight film. Every angle change is motivated, audio sources are blended so nobody drops out mid-sentence, and the color stays consistent from the morning prep to the last dance under the reception lights.

What's included

  • Multi-camera sync with external audio, lavs, and DJ or venue feeds.
  • Motivated angle cuts for ceremony, toasts, and first dances.
  • Dialogue cleanup: hum, wind, handling noise, and level matching.
  • Chapter markers so couples can jump to the moment they want.
  • Grade matched to the highlight film for a consistent package.

Why Alpha Edits

Why the long edit shouldn't eat your season

A single documentary edit can take a full working week. In peak season that backlog stacks up fast, and delivery times slip from weeks to months — exactly what couples complain about in reviews.

We absorb that workload so your delivery dates stay honest. You keep the creative direction; we do the syncing, cutting, cleaning, and grading, and hand it back ready to upload.

How it works

Four steps. One editor. Two sets of eyes.

01
Brief & reference

Share your files, a reference look, and your delivery spec. We lock the style before we start.

02
Edit

Your dedicated editor works the whole job for consistency — not a rotating cast.

03
Two-pass quality check

A second editor reviews color, retouch, pacing, and audio against your reference.

04
Deliver on deadline

Files arrive in your naming and format spec, on the date we promised. Revisions included.

Questions, answered

Full-Length Wedding Film Editing — FAQ

How many cameras can you work with?

As many as you shot. Most weddings have two to four cameras plus drone and external audio; we sync them all into one multicam timeline.

Can you fix bad audio from the ceremony?

Usually, yes. We clean wind, hum, rustle, and level problems, and blend backup sources when a lav drops out. If audio is unrecoverable we'll tell you straight away.

Do you include chapter markers?

Yes, on request. We can add YouTube or Vimeo chapters, or deliver ceremony, speeches, and dances as separate files.

How long does a full-length edit take?

We quote a firm delivery date when you book, based on the length and number of cameras. Most full-length edits ship within the same window as the highlight film.
