Capture the Magic: Wedding Videography Package with Two Custom Films
Your wedding day is one of the most important and magical moments of your life. It’s a day filled with love, laughter, and countless memories that you’ll want to hold onto forever. Our team understands how crucial it is to capture every smile, every glance, and every heartfelt moment in a way that allows you to relive them for years to come.
That’s why our wedding videography package goes beyond the standard one-film offering. We provide two custom-edited films and even the option for raw footage, so you can truly cherish every moment of your special day. Let’s explore what makes our package stand out from the rest.
What Makes Us Different?
With so many options in Metro Detroit, finding the right wedding videographer can be tough. Here’s what makes us stand out: every couple gets two beautifully crafted wedding films. Whether you choose our 3-hour or 8-hour package, you’ll receive both a Mini Movie and a Full Documentary. The length of time we are there and the events covered dictate the length of the videos you receive. More time means more footage, resulting in longer, more detailed films. Enjoy a short highlight reel for easy sharing, plus a full-length film that captures every important moment.
The Mini Movie: A Cinematic Highlight Reel
One of the highlights of our Metro Detroit Wedding Video Package is the Mini Movie. This is a professionally edited, 8-10 minute video that features the most magical moments of your wedding day. From your first kiss as a married couple to the smiles and tears during the toasts, this short film captures all the highlights in a way that feels cinematic and emotionally powerful.
It’s perfect for sharing with friends and family, especially on social media, allowing everyone to experience the joy and beauty of your wedding day in just a few minutes.
The Full Documentary: Relive Your Day from Start to Finish
While the Mini Movie gives you a quick, emotional recap of your day, the Full Documentary provides a more in-depth look at all the moments that made your wedding special. This extended video typically runs between 60 and 90 minutes, featuring everything from your ceremony and reception to those candid, behind-the-scenes moments that you might have missed in the whirlwind of the day.
What’s Included in the Documentary?
- Full coverage of your ceremony.
- The toasts, speeches, and special dances at your reception.
- Candid moments, reactions, and interactions that tell the full story of your day.
- Special moments like your grand entrance, first dance, and cake cutting.
Our professional editing team ensures that the pacing is perfect and that every moment flows together seamlessly, creating a documentary that you’ll want to watch over and over again.
Choosing the Right Wedding Videography Package for Your Wedding Day
Every wedding is unique, and so are the videography needs of each couple. At Mike Staff Productions, we offer different wedding videography packages to fit your timeline, event size, and personal preferences. Whether you’re planning a short, intimate celebration or a full-day extravaganza, we have the perfect option for you.
The 3-Hour Wedding Videography Package: Perfect for Shorter Events
If your wedding ceremony and reception are happening at the same location, or you’re mainly interested in capturing the ceremony itself, our 3-hour videography package might be the ideal fit. This package works best for couples who want core coverage of their wedding day without downtime.
Key Benefits of the 3-Hour Package:
- Focused Coverage: From pre-ceremony moments to the toasts, we ensure continuous coverage of your most important moments, all dependent on your unique timeline.
- Shorter Mini Movie: This package includes a shorter Mini Movie, highlighting the most emotional and essential parts of your day, such as the ceremony, vows, and first kiss.
- No Downtime: With a well-planned timeline, we capture your entire ceremony and early reception events without any gaps in coverage.
- Documentary Video: Along with the Mini Movie, your package will also include a documentary video that captures your full ceremony, early reception events, and toasts, presented in their entirety. The length and content will depend on your specific timeline.
This package is ideal for couples who prefer a concise but impactful way to remember their wedding day, focusing primarily on the couple and the ceremony.
The 8-Hour Wedding Videography Package: Perfect for Full-Day Coverage
For couples planning a full-day event with multiple locations or who want more extensive coverage, our 8-hour videography package is the best choice. This package is designed for weddings with a more detailed timeline, covering everything from getting ready to late-night dancing.
Key Benefits of the 8-Hour Package:
- Extended Coverage: From the pre-ceremony preparations to the reception party, this package captures more moments of your entire day, including interactions with your guests, the dancing, and the fun that happens later in the night.
- Longer Mini Movie: The 8-hour package comes with a longer Mini Movie, featuring a more in-depth retelling of your day, including additional details and guest experiences.
- Guest Experience: With more time to capture your reception, you’ll get to relive more of your guests’ reactions, speeches, and the celebratory atmosphere on the dance floor.
- Documentary Video: In addition to the Mini Movie, the 8-hour package includes a documentary video that captures your entire day, from ceremony to reception, including toasts and dancing, depending on your unique timeline.
This option is perfect for couples who want a comprehensive documentation of their wedding day, covering more locations and moments that go beyond just the ceremony.
How to Choose the Right Package
The choice between the 3-hour and 8-hour videography packages depends largely on your wedding day timeline and the moments you want captured. Here’s a quick guide to help you decide:
- Choose the 3-Hour Package if:
- Your ceremony and reception are at the same location.
- You prefer a short, focused Mini Movie that highlights core couple moments.
- You want to cover the ceremony and toasts without extended reception footage.
- Choose the 8-Hour Package if:
- You have multiple locations or a longer wedding day timeline.
- You want to capture more of the guest experience, including dancing and speeches.
- You’re looking for a more detailed Mini Movie that tells the full story of your day.
Whichever package you choose, our team at Mike Staff Productions will ensure that your wedding videography reflects the love, joy, and emotion of your day. We’ll work with your timeline to capture the moments that matter most to you.
Bonus: Access to Raw Footage
We also offer the option to purchase your raw footage for an additional cost. While our edited films provide a polished, cohesive story of your day, raw footage allows you to explore every single moment in its entirety. This unedited content includes all the hours of footage we captured, offering you the flexibility to see parts of your day that may not have been included in the final edits.
For couples who want to see everything – even the moments behind the scenes – adding the raw footage is a valuable option.
Why Two Videos Make a Difference
Most wedding videographers provide you with just one edited film. At Mike Staff Productions, we know that a single video can’t always capture the full scope of your wedding day. That’s why we offer two distinct films. The Mini Movie gives you a quick, shareable version of your wedding, while the Documentary allows you to relive every detail, from the vows to the laughter on the dance floor.
This combination of two videos offers more than just coverage – it provides two perspectives of your wedding day, giving you flexibility and a fuller picture of the memories you want to cherish.
What Sets Us Apart from Other Metro Detroit Videographers?
While many videographers in Metro Detroit only offer a highlight reel or a full-length film, we offer both – plus the option for raw footage. Here’s how we stand out:
- Two professionally edited films: You receive both a cinematic highlight reel and a detailed documentary.
- Raw footage option: Get access to all the footage we capture so you never miss a moment.
- Experienced team: Our videographers have years of experience capturing weddings in Metro Detroit and understand how to create films that reflect your unique story.
- Personalized approach: We work closely with you to ensure we capture the moments that matter most to you.
Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and while photographs are beautiful, they can’t capture the sound of your vows, the laughter during toasts, or the joy of your first dance. Videography brings your memories to life, allowing you to hear, see, and feel every moment of your wedding day.
With our Metro Detroit Wedding Video Package, you’ll not only have the perfect way to relive your special day, but you’ll also have two beautiful films to share with future generations.
