A wedding editing partner becomes part of your studio's delivery experience, even when the couple never meets them. Before sending a project, ask questions that reveal how the partnership will work in practice. The goal is a dependable process and films that still feel like your studio.
Can they work within your style?
Look beyond a showreel. Ask how the editor will learn your pacing, sound choices and approach to storytelling. Share a representative finished film and discuss what should carry through to the next project. If you have several film styles, explain which one belongs to the job you are sending.
What exactly is included?
Name each deliverable: highlight, documentary edit, teaser, trailer, reel or full ceremony. Confirm format, platform, titles and any extra versions. A quote is easier to compare when it describes actual outputs and the condition of the source footage, not just a single word such as “editing.”
Ask what the team needs before work begins. A clear answer should cover media organisation, brief, references, important moments, audio and review contact. Confirm the first-draft plan and the number of revision rounds for the agreed scope. Delivery time can change with the size and complexity of a project, so avoid treating a general estimate as a promise for every wedding.
How will feedback and files be handled?
Find out how drafts are shared, how notes are collected and who receives final approval. Ask how they identify missing media and communicate decisions that affect the story. Agree on how project files, source footage and final exports will be transferred and retained. If you have particular privacy commitments to a couple, state them at the start.
- Request a project-specific scope and quote.
- Agree on one person who gives consolidated feedback.
- Confirm the first-draft timeline and review rounds.
- Decide how media and final versions will be exchanged.
