Because some memories deserve more than just a snapshot.

Your wedding day moves fast—one minute you’re slipping on your shoes, and the next you’re swaying under twinkle lights during your first dance. It’s a blur of joy, emotion, and magic. That’s why having a professional wedding videographer is so important: we don’t just record the day—we preserve the feelings.

At Corey Davis Films, we’ve captured dozens of love stories, and while every wedding is unique, there are a few moments that always make cinematic gold. Here are the top five moments you’ll definitely want in your wedding film:

1. The First Look (Or the First Time You See Each Other)

Whether it’s a private first look before the ceremony or that heart-pounding moment at the end of the aisle, the first time you lay eyes on each other is one of the most emotionally charged parts of the day.

The nervous smiles. The deep breaths. The tears you tried not to cry. It’s a moment you’ll want to relive again and again—and video brings it to life in a way photos never could.

2. Personal Vows and Letters

If you're writing your own vows or exchanging private letters, this is pure storytelling gold. These words—spoken from the heart—become the emotional backbone of your wedding film.

We capture the audio clearly and carefully, and use it to weave narrative magic throughout your highlight reel. Years from now, hearing each other’s promises in your own voices will mean everything.

3. The Walk Down the Aisle

All eyes are on you. The music swells. You lock eyes. Whether it’s you walking toward your future or seeing your partner for the first time, this moment is iconic for a reason.

From both angles—your expression and theirs—we make sure to film the emotion, anticipation, and joy in all its real-time glory.

4. The Speeches and Toasts

Funny, heartfelt, tear-inducing… wedding toasts are packed with personality and wisdom. Whether it’s your best friend recalling how you met or your dad reminding everyone how proud he is—we capture every word.

These speeches often become surprise highlights in your film, revealing sides of your love story that even you may not have fully realized.

5. The Dance Floor Energy

This is where the vibe shifts from emotional to electric. Your first dance. Your grandma doing the worm. Your friends losing their minds when the DJ drops that song. These moments show the celebration side of your story.

And yes, we’ll be there capturing it all—without getting in the way of your moves.

Bonus: The In-Between Moments

The tears as your mom buttons your dress. The quick glance you share while holding hands. The deep breath before you say “I do.”These aren’t scheduled… but they’re everything.

At Corey Davis Films, we don’t just capture the big moments—we look for the quiet, fleeting ones, too. Because sometimes the smallest moments become the most meaningful.
