The night before the wedding, everyone is still themselves. A film preserves that.
Rehearsal dinner films capture the candid, relaxed, and often funnier version of the wedding story that the ceremony itself can't hold.
We produce rehearsal dinner films for Austin couples as a standalone documentation or as part of a multi-day wedding production package. The rehearsal dinner context is cinematically distinct from the wedding — the formality is lower, the guests are fewer, the speeches are more personal and often more emotionally revealing than the wedding speeches that follow. A rehearsal dinner film preserves that specific version of the story before the wedding day transforms it.
Rehearsal dinner films are typically thirty to sixty minutes of unedited dinner footage plus a five to eight minute edited film delivered within two weeks. For couples booking a combined rehearsal dinner and wedding film package, the rehearsal dinner footage provides a prologue layer for the wedding film's narrative.

The dinner is typically the more compelling documentary subject — the toasts, the conversations, the relaxed family dynamics. The rehearsal ceremony is process-focused and rarely produces emotionally significant footage unless specific participants are involved. We advise on what to cover in pre-production.
Yes. We use a documentary approach that never interrupts the natural flow of the dinner. Toasts are prioritized as key documentary moments; we position for audio coverage in advance so we're ready when the toasting begins.
Yes, when photography is also present at the rehearsal dinner. Coordination avoids competing camera positions during toasts and ensures both photo and video have access to the key moments.
