Wedding teaser & Instagram Reel editing.
A 30–90 second teaser in vertical and horizontal, cut to hook in the first two seconds — so your couples can post while the day is still fresh and your name reaches every guest who follows them.
What teaser & reel editing with Alpha Edits looks like
The teaser is marketing. It's the first thing couples see after the wedding, the first thing their friends see on Instagram, and often the first thing a future client sees of your work. It has to hook fast, look expensive, and feel like your brand.
We cut teasers natively for each platform instead of just cropping a horizontal edit. The vertical version is reframed shot by shot for 9:16, with safe margins for captions and platform buttons, and the horizontal version is ready for YouTube, Vimeo, or your website.
What's included
- Hook-first structure — the strongest moment lands in the opening seconds.
- Native 9:16 reframing for Reels, TikTok, and Stories, plus a 16:9 master.
- Beat-matched music edit to your licensed track.
- Color grade consistent with the full highlight film.
- Caption-safe framing and optional burned-in titles.

Why teasers are worth outsourcing
Teasers are short, but they're not quick. Finding the one-second moments that hook and pacing a minute of footage to a beat takes hours — and couples expect them within days of the wedding.
Handing us the teaser along with the highlight film keeps the grade and style identical across both, and lets you post fast without giving up your weekday evenings.
Four steps. One editor. Two sets of eyes.
Share your files, a reference look, and your delivery spec. We lock the style before we start.
Your dedicated editor works the whole job for consistency — not a rotating cast.
A second editor reviews color, retouch, pacing, and audio against your reference.
Files arrive in your naming and format spec, on the date we promised. Revisions included.
Wedding Teaser & Reel Editing — FAQ
Do you deliver vertical versions for Instagram and TikTok?
Yes. Every teaser can include a native 9:16 edit reframed shot by shot — not a blind center crop — plus a 16:9 master.
Can you cut the teaser before the full film?
Yes. Many studios ask for the teaser first so couples get something to share quickly; we then finish the highlight film from the same selects and grade.
How long is a wedding teaser?
Usually 30–90 seconds. Reels perform best at 30–60 seconds; website and YouTube teasers can run a little longer.
Can you add captions or on-screen text?
Yes. Send your font and wording, or ask us to keep the frame caption-safe so you can add text inside Instagram.
