The first two weeks: your teaser
Seven to fourteen days after your wedding, your teaser arrives. It is a short cut of the day, finished to the same grade as the final film, and it comes in two versions: a widescreen cut for the big screen, and a vertical cut built for Instagram and TikTok, so you are not cropping a cinema frame into a phone shape and losing the picture.
Both are yours to download the moment they arrive. On your phone, the vertical saves straight into your Photos app, which means the time between opening the email and posting your first dance is about a minute. That is deliberate. The week after your wedding is when everyone is asking to see something, and you should have something worth showing.
Weeks two through ten: the edit
The full collection takes eight to ten weeks. That window is the work: the story gets built from the real sound of the day, your vows and the toasts carrying scenes rather than sitting under them, and every frame is graded by hand so the film feels as honest in thirty years as it does the week it lands.
You do not need to check in during this stretch, though you are always welcome to. When couples ask what they can do while they wait, the answer is usually: enjoy being married. The film is coming.
Delivery day: your screening room
Your films are not delivered as a link to a folder. You get one private page on this site, made for the two of you, that works like the menu of a beautifully mastered DVD: your wedding film front and center, the full ceremony and the complete speeches as their own chapters, each one playable on any screen and downloadable in full quality with one tap.
The same link you received your teaser on becomes your screening room, so there is only ever one address to remember. Send it to your parents, your wedding party, the friend who flew in from overseas. Everyone you share it with can watch and download without accounts, passwords, or an app.
What couples do first
Almost everyone does the same three things, in the same order. They post the vertical teaser before the tan fades. They plug a laptop into the living room TV, turn the sound up, and watch the film properly, once through without talking. And then they send the link to the people who were there, which is when the messages start.
