Ask nearly any couple and they'll tell you the same thing: The wedding day is a blur of activity and action, and most newlyweds find they have a hard time remembering every small detail of the big day. When you think about it, it makes sense why that would be the case: The excitement of saying “I do” mixed with the rush of family and friends can be overwhelming. A well-produced wedding video, captured by a trained videographer, is an essential part of memorializing your big day. To make you video all the more poignant, it's important to spend some time considering what type of music you'll pair with the footage. Whether you're selecting a song to share with your wedding videographer or picking a tune for the Instagram Reel you're creating on your own, you'll want to give your musician selection some serious thought: After all, this if how you'll look back and on remember your big day for years to come. A well-curated soundtrack can bring all those big emotions rushing back. Sure, you could use something meaningful, like the song you or your partner walked down the aisle to or your first dance tune, but these might not work well with the footage you have.
The secret to picking a great wedding video song? You'll want to settle on a tune that’s not only representative of your wedding, but also captures your personalities and speaks to who you are as a couple. It should also have great pace, moving the video forward, and feel thematically appropriate with the content you're sharing. Is your video heavy on the sweet, intimate moments shared between you and your partner? Something soft and romantic is most appropriate. Does your wedding video highlight the evening's dance party and time spent with loved ones? You'll likely want something more upbeat.
