Frequently Asked Questions

  • The Guest Edit is a professionally crafted film made entirely from footage captured by your guests. Instead of hiring a traditional videographer, your friends and family film moments throughout the event on their phones — and we turn it into a polished, story-driven edit.

  • Weddings, milestone birthdays, anniversaries, engagement parties, baby showers, family celebrations, and destination trips.

  • There are many reasons couples choose a guest-filmed wedding — here are just a few:

    Your story is captured from start to finish.
    From the quiet moments while getting ready to the final song of the night, your guests can film naturally throughout the entire day.

    It feels relaxed and authentic.
    People are often more at ease in front of familiar faces. The result? Genuine reactions, spontaneous laughter, and beautifully real moments.

    Your guests become part of the experience.
    Giving a small filming role adds a sense of involvement and fun — without taking them away from celebrating with you.

    Modern phones capture incredible quality.
    Today’s smartphones produce stunning footage, which we professionally edit, balance, and grade into a cohesive, cinematic film.

    You receive all the raw memories too.
    Every clip your guests upload is shared with you — creating a digital archive of your day, not just a finished highlight.

    Filming your own wedding isn’t about replacing tradition — it’s about capturing your day through the people who know you best, and turning those moments into something beautifully crafted.

    1. Your guests film throughout the day (we normally assign guests a key role to ensure all key moments are captured).

    2. After the event, all footage is uploaded to one shared folder.

    3. We carefully sort, select, and edit the best moments into a beautifully finished film.

    Simple for you. Professional finish from us.

  • We make it easy for your guests to capture the moments that matter.

    You can assign guests to one (or more) simple filming roles, such as Getting Ready, Ceremony, Speeches, Cake Cutting, First Dance, and Party. For non-wedding celebrations, these roles can be adapted to suit your event.

    Once roles are assigned, we send each guest a short, easy-to-follow guidance video. It covers what to film, how to capture great footage on a phone, and a few helpful tips to make sure the final edit looks and feels amazing.

  • We usually edit our films in landscape (horizontal), so we recommend guests film in landscape where possible.

    That said, portrait (vertical) videos can absolutely still be used. Just keep in mind there may be space either side of the frame in the final edit if we’re creating a horizontal film.

    The most important thing? Capture the moment. We’ll take care of the rest.

  • No — just their phones. Modern smartphones capture excellent video. We handle the colour balancing, exposure corrections, and editing to create a consistent, cinematic feel.

  • That’s completely normal. Guest footage is authentic — and that’s the beauty of it. We stabilise where possible, balance colour, improve audio, and structure everything into a cohesive story. The result feels natural, not staged.

  • Each package includes a clip allowance (for example 30, 60, or 120 clips depending on your package). If you have more, we can always upgrade your edit.

  • Absolutely. We can create a full story edit or even a separate “Messages Film” made entirely from guests leaving personal messages.

  • Our standard turnaround is typically 2–3 weeks, depending on the package and season. Rush delivery options are available.

  • Getting started is simple. Reach out through our contact form or purchase your preferred option online—we’ll walk you through the next steps and answer any questions along the way.

  • Anyone can stitch clips together. We don’t.
    We take a thoughtful, human-centred approach to storytelling — combining clear communication with reliable results, and crafting films that feel real, intimate, and beautifully finished. It’s not just what we do — it’s how we do it.

  • The Guest Edit captures the day from the people who know you best. It feels intimate, real, and personal — like watching your memories back through the eyes of the room.

  • You can reach us anytime via our contact page or email. We aim to respond quickly—usually within one business day.

  • You’ll receive a high-quality digital film ready to download and share

  • We’re UK-based, but our process is entirely digital — meaning we can create your film wherever your celebration takes place.
