How Long Should a Wedding Video Be? Tips for Choosing Your Package
Your wedding film should feel like the day itself: full of energy, clear moments, and a steady rhythm. The right length depends on how you
Your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime gathering of people, glances, and feelings that won’t happen the same way again. Our job isn’t to tick off a shot list it’s to keep the feeling. We read the room, steady the nerves, and cue gentle direction when it helps, then disappear when the moment needs space. From the breath before the aisle to the roar of the last song, we’re there for the in-between.
Granite Stag Photo and Video is a one-woman studio serving New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and destination celebrations. Our background spans business administration, healthcare at a leading U.S. hospital, and service in the U.S. Army experiences that taught me steadiness under pressure, respect for people, and a deep care for details. On a wedding day, we guide when direction helps, step back when emotion takes over, and watch for the small, true moments that say everything. The result is photography and film that feel like you honest, warm, and meant to be kept.
It’s just our professional photographers behind the lens, so you get our full attention from first email to final gallery. These collections are built to solve the things couples worry about most: missed moments, shaky audio, clashing styles, long waits, and lost files. We cover your special day, offer an optional second photographer for parallel timelines, and keep photo + film in the same color pipeline so everything feels cohesive. Your vows are recorded on dual lav mics with a backup; video is stabilized on gimbals; low light is handled with fast lenses and off-camera lighting. You’ll receive a 48-hour sneak peek, a four-week gallery, and two years of hosting. Behind the scenes, cameras write to dual cards, we clone on-site, and back up to RAID and the cloud because your story deserves care and redundancy.
“From our first call, Kassandra put us at ease. Calm, organized, and deeply invested in our story, she moved quietly yet caught everything. On the day, nothing felt staged or intrusive only honest moments: steady hands, quick glances, soft laughter, and my grandmother glowing in the aisle light, to remember always.”
Your wedding happens once no do-overs, no replay. I’m here to keep the feeling: the nerves, the laughs, the quiet touch nobody else notices. I cover the full day with calm direction when helpful and space when it matters. You’ll get a 48-hour sneak peek, a four-week gallery, two years of hosting, and options for film, social content, and a 360 booth. If that sounds right, let’s begin.
From our first discovery call, I map your vision into a technical plan. I built a timeline with buffers and a lighting diagram for each location. I meter using histogram and zebras, set Kelvin white balance, and expose to protect skin tones. Fast primes, ND filters, and diffusion maintain character; off-camera flash with HSS balances harsh sun. For video, I stabilize on gimbals, record 4K 10-bit in log, and capture vows on dual lavs plus a 32-bit float recorder.
On the day, I work collaboratively with your planner, DJ, and officiant, and bring a second photographer when coverage requires parallel angles. My posing coaching stays natural and directional—micro-prompts, movement, and room to breathe. Ceremony is filmed at 24fps, 1/50 shutter; toasts and dances use 60fps for elegant slow-motion. Dual card slots write redundantly, timecode sync keeps audio aligned, and I clone cards to a portable SSD before leaving the venue.
In post, files are checksum-verified, mirrored to RAID, and encrypted in the cloud. I cull in Photo Mechanic, color in Lightroom with calibrated monitors, then retouch selectively in Photoshop. Films are edited in Premiere with LUT-guided grading, dialogue cleanup, noise reduction, licensed music, and sound design. You’ll receive a 48-hour sneak peek, a four-week gallery, two years of hosting, and album design support. Every step is documented, communicated, and delivered with care.
Whether it’s a cozy backyard vow or a full wedding weekend, our collections preserve your story with your special day coverage and intentional artistry. Each collection starts with a foundation of photography, and can grow to include videography, social content, albums, and more so nothing meaningful is missed. Our most requested collection includes:

Yes! Upon receiving your images, you will also get a full print release.
All of our wedding collections come with a single photographer, but you are more than welcome to add a second shooter for a discounted additional cost.
I respect your privacy and allow each client to decide whether or not they want their photos displayed publicly. I’d love to show off you & your images, if you’re game! If not, that’s okay, too.
While many of my sessions and weddings do get featured, this isn't something that is guaranteed. Most publishers are interested in uniquely designed weddings and have specific desires for the features.
A: Minor edits will be made to all of your images, but I believe our imperfections are what make us beautiful & unique. If there are specific edits you want, these will be charged according to the number and complexity of edits.
