The Importance & Art of Audio in Wedding Videos

When couples envision their wedding video, it's only natural for them to focus on the visuals—the breathtaking shots of the ceremony, the joy-filled reception, the quiet, intimate moments, and all the details that make their day unique. But there’s a hidden hero in wedding videography that can transform a beautiful video into a truly cinematic experience: great audio.

Here are the key ways that quality audio elevates your wedding video to something timeless and moving as well as some of our favorite videos that showcase perfect audio:

1. Capturing the Emotion in Words

While stunning visuals tell the story of what happened, audio captures the heart of the day. The vows, toasts, and candid exchanges bring an added dimension of intimacy and emotion that images alone can’t convey. Imagine watching your wedding video years from now and hearing your partner’s voice tremble with emotion as they say “I do” or reliving the humorous and heartfelt toasts shared by loved ones. These audio moments allow you to reconnect with the feelings of that day, bringing back voices, laughter, and even unexpected moments you may have missed in the rush of the celebration.

In Chase + Corrina’s video, we layered parts of their vows in the intro, added applause from the ceremony, switched up the music halfway to build excitement, and included heartfelt speech moments for added emotion.

2. Capturing Pristine Audio, the Move Mountains Co. Way

To ensure clarity, we use small, discreet lavalier microphones to capture vows, starting even before the ceremony when possible. In a quiet, private moment, we give the groom or bride a chance to record their vows alone—free from distraction and as many times as they’d like—so that every word is delivered with pure intention and emotion.

During the ceremony, we mic up the groom, officiant, and any additional speakers with individual lavs, allowing us to capture each voice clearly. We also take it a step further by plugging a recording device directly into the DJ’s setup, creating a “main feed” of audio that’s straight from the source. This setup continues through to the reception, where we record any welcome toast, welcome prayers, and all speeches using a similar method: lavalier mics for each speaker and a direct feed from the DJ booth to ensure we capture each word with professional-grade quality.

In Ryan + Jessica’s video, we featured audio from both officiants during the ceremony, captured the applause and cheers after they were pronounced, and highlighted heartfelt moments from the reception speeches.

3. Music & Sound Design: Setting the Scene

Music and sound design are the unsung storytellers in your wedding video, creating the emotional rhythm that draws you in. A well-chosen soundtrack can shift the mood seamlessly—from a soft, romantic instrumental during bridal prep to an upbeat track that captures the energy of the dance floor. At Move Mountains Co., we encourage couples to choose their own music, usually royalty-free so it can be shared widely. This choice allows the soundtrack to be deeply personal while also ensuring it’s easy to share with family and friends.

By blending these music elements with the natural sounds of the day—such as laughter, applause, or the rustle of leaves in a breezy outdoor ceremony—our videographers create a layered audio experience that feels authentic to the spirit of your wedding. The goal is a soundscape that enhances rather than distracts, inviting you to relive each moment exactly as it unfolded.

4. A Holistic Experience: Sights and Sounds in Harmony

The combination of meaningful visuals and sounds turns your wedding video into an experience, one that you’ll want to revisit again and again. Audio makes it possible to truly relive the day, capturing not only what it looked like but what it felt and sounded like. This powerful combination of sights and sounds helps you fully remember and feel the energy of the day, in all its beauty and emotion.

In Justin + Danielle’s video, we opened with a city soundscape and applause to capture the excitement of their day. Highlights from the reception speeches added depth, creating an immersive experience that brought their celebration to life.

Your Story Deserves to Be Heard!

When planning your wedding videography, don’t overlook the power of great audio. At Move Mountains Co., we prioritize not just capturing the visuals of your day, but the sounds that make it unforgettable — Because your wedding story deserves to be heard as well as seen.

The Ultimate Guide to Creating a Cinematic Wedding Film

Creating the perfect wedding film goes beyond simply recording moments; it’s about telling a story that captures the heart of your day. At Move Mountains Co., we understand that a wedding film is a lifelong keepsake, meant to preserve not only the events but also the emotions, atmosphere, and essence of your celebration. With that in mind, here are some of our favorite recent wedding videos as well as our top 10 tips for making your wedding film a cinematic masterpiece you'll treasure forever:

1. Communicate Your Vision

Start by sharing your vision with your videographer. Talk about your preferred style—whether it's classic, cinematic, documentary, or something uniquely you. Discuss must-have shots, like the first look or that magical sunset kiss, and any specific details or moments that are especially meaningful. By being clear on your vision, your videographer can tailor their approach to reflect your personal story, creating a film that feels authentic to who you are as a couple.

2. Choose the Right Videographer

Take time to find a videographer whose style aligns with your vision. Review their portfolio, watch full wedding films (not just highlight reels), and make sure their previous work matches what you envision. A good match will bring a seamless creative connection, making the filming process enjoyable and ensuring you’ll love the final product. An aligned vision and communication style are key to building trust, which is essential for a stress-free experience.

3. Plan a Detailed Timeline

A well-structured timeline is crucial to capturing every important moment without rushing. Collaborate with your videographer on this timeline, allocating extra time for essential shots, including prep, the ceremony, and those intimate sunset shots. This careful planning ensures your videographer has time to set up, get the best angles, and capture each moment thoughtfully—leaving you free to enjoy the day.

4. Scout the Venue

Take your videographer to the venue before the wedding day. This allows them to identify the best shooting spots, assess lighting conditions, and find unique angles that highlight your setting. A venue walkthrough also gives them a chance to get creative with how they’ll approach each part of the day, maximizing the venue’s beauty and ensuring a seamless shooting experience.

5. Consider Audio Quality

High-quality audio is essential for a great wedding film. Clear recordings of vows, speeches, and toasts bring the emotions of the day to life in a way visuals alone can’t capture. Ask your videographer about audio equipment, and make sure they use quality microphones. Good audio setup is crucial for avoiding any technical mishaps and ensuring every spoken word is beautifully preserved.

6. Incorporate Personal Elements

Adding personal touches makes your wedding film feel more intimate and unique. Whether it’s exchanging handwritten vows, including special decor, or filming at meaningful locations, these elements deepen the narrative and make the video more special. Encourage your videographer to capture the details that mean the most to you—each one will help tell your love story in an authentic, personal way.

7. Stay Natural & Candid

The best wedding films capture the genuine joy of the day. Try to stay present and focus on each other, letting your emotions show naturally. Don’t worry about the camera; instead, embrace the spontaneity of the day, from quiet glances to bursts of laughter. These candid, unscripted moments make your film feel authentic and give it a heartfelt, relatable charm.

8. Use Natural Light

Natural light is incredibly flattering and gives your film a warm, organic quality. Work with your videographer to plan key moments—like couple’s portraits—around "golden hour" (just after sunrise or before sunset) for that soft, glowing light. Indoors, consider window lighting, as it adds depth and brightness to your film. Great lighting brings a cinematic quality that makes every moment shine.

9. Trust Your Videographer

Once you’ve chosen a videographer whose style you love, let them work their magic. Trusting their expertise allows them the creative freedom to experiment with angles, perspectives, and techniques that will enhance your film. They have a trained eye for capturing the little moments you might miss, and giving them space to do so results in a more artful, professional film.

10. Enjoy the Process

Remember to savor your wedding day and let your happiness shine! The more you relax and embrace the day, the more that genuine joy will come through on camera. Your wedding film is a reflection of the love and excitement you feel, so let go, enjoy each moment, and allow yourself to truly be present—those emotions are what make your film timeless.

At Move Mountains Co., we are committed to capturing your story in a way that reflects the genuine magic of your day. Reach out to us to learn how we can turn your wedding moments into a cinematic memory that lasts a lifetime!

What to Expect from Your Wedding Photo + Video Team on the Big Day

Your wedding day is one of the most significant moments of your life, and having a dedicated wedding production team like Move Mountains Co. by your side ensures that every precious moment is captured with care and artistry. But what exactly can you expect from us on your big day? Here's a closer look at how we work to make your wedding day experience as seamless and memorable as possible.

1. Early Arrival & Setup:

   Your production team arrives early to make sure everything is perfectly set up before the celebration begins. From finding the most flattering lighting to discreetly arranging equipment, we handle every detail with precision. Whether it's capturing the intimate getting-ready moments or the beauty of the venue before guests arrive, we start the day with thoughtful preparation and attention to detail.

2. Crafting a Clean, Editorial Style

At Move Mountains Co., we pride ourselves on delivering a clean, polished, and cohesive aesthetic for all our wedding photos and videos. Achieving this look often requires a bit of staging—clearing away distractions, rearranging elements, or scouting locations with optimal lighting and visual appeal. Our aim is to make you, your venue, and every detail—from florals to décor—look their absolute best. By focusing on these subtleties, we ensure the final product is not just beautiful, but also a true reflection of your wedding day's elegance and thoughtful design.

3. Capturing the Essence of Your Day

Our approach to capturing your wedding day is more editorial in nature. While the industry often uses terms like "photojournalistic" or "photojournalism" to describe a candid, documentary style, we find this term can sometimes be misleading. While we do capture natural, organic moments throughout the day—such as candid shots of guests, ceremony moments, and cocktail hour interactions—we believe our style is more about blending an editorial vision with our couples' aesthetics. We style and direct to create images that are clean, simple, and minimalistic, yet feel genuine to the moment.

4. Seamless Coordination with Other Vendors

We understand that a wedding is a collective effort, and we work seamlessly with other vendors—planners, DJs, florists, and caterers—to ensure everything runs smoothly. This coordination helps capture all the essential moments without interruption, allowing us to document your day exactly as you’ve envisioned.

5. Adaptability & Creative Problem Solving

Weddings often come with surprises, but your production team is always ready to adapt. Whether it's accommodating a last-minute change in the schedule, adjusting to unexpected weather, or finding creative solutions to any challenges that arise, we stay calm and flexible, making sure every moment is captured flawlessly.

6. A Supportive & Professional Presence

On your wedding day, we are more than just photographers and videographers—we're a supportive team that understands the significance of the day. We strive to help you feel at ease, guide you through photo sessions, and ensure that you and your partner can focus on enjoying every moment. Our approachable and friendly demeanor brings out the best in everyone, resulting in natural and heartfelt photos and videos.

7. Post-Wedding Care & Expertise

Our commitment to you continues even after your wedding day is over. We meticulously review and edit every image and video to craft a stunning visual story that captures the essence of your celebration. If you choose to include an album as part of your package, we make the design process as simple as possible. We collaborate closely with you to select the most meaningful photos, ensuring that your album beautifully tells the story of your day. Our goal is to provide a final product that is not only beautiful but also a genuine reflection of your love story, creating memories you'll cherish forever.

At Move Mountains Co., our focus is on capturing the magic of your wedding day with a blend of editorial vision, creativity, and a personal touch. Whether you need photography, videography, or content creation for your big day, we are here to bring your vision to life. Contact Move Mountains Co. to ensure your wedding day is in capable, creative hands.

At the tables, guests found picture frames with postcards from those national parks. This creative seating chart not only guided guests to their seats but also shared Trevor and Stephanie's travel memories, making their wedding day even more special:

3. Ryan + Christina added a touch of elegance and class to their wedding with a unique combination of a champagne wall and seating chart.

3 Tips for Your Engagement Session

Saint Lucy Vincent Beach

Martha’s Vineyard, MA

At Move Mountains Co., we believe that engagement sessions are an integral part of the wedding experience. These sessions allow couples to celebrate their love and capture memories that will last a lifetime. In this resource page, we share some essential tips that will help you make the most of your engagement session.

Tip One: Choose a Recommended Location

Choosing a location is crucial for capturing stunning photos during your engagement session. At Move Mountains Co., we highly recommend using our preapproved locations for best results. Our talented photographers are familiar with these spots around Southern New England and know exactly where to find the perfect lighting and scenery. Choosing a new location can be a bit challenging, and sometimes, it may not yield the best results. Click here to view our recommended locations for your engagement session.

Tip Two: Wear Clothing You Feel Confident and Comfortable In

Your engagement session is all about capturing your love and unique personalities. To help you feel confident and comfortable during your session, we recommend wearing clothing that makes you feel good about yourself. It's essential to choose clothing that reflects your personal style and makes you feel your best. If you're a bit self-conscious, we suggest wearing clothing that won't exacerbate your insecurities.

Tip Three: Dress for the Weather

The weather can be unpredictable, especially in Southern New England. Before your engagement session, check the forecast and dress accordingly. If you're having a beach session in April, wearing a flowy thin dress may not be the best idea as it can be freezing and uncomfortable. Instead, we suggest wearing layers and bringing a jacket or sweater just in case. Being comfortable during your session is essential, so make sure you're dressed for the weather.

We hope these tips will help you prepare for your engagement session and make it a memorable experience. At Move Mountains Co., we are passionate about capturing your love and creating memories that will last a lifetime. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us. We look forward to working with you!

Regatta Place Wedding

Goat Island, Newport, RI

What an easy day - Regatta Place makes getting great photos easy. Their bridal suite is clean and full of natural lighting so getting that light and bright look is a breeze. We headed to The Elms Mansion for the first look and some portraits. Another great spot if you are looking for very elegant photos. Theres a variety of spots all in one location which makes it very versatile and lends itself to allowing you to focus on the images and not have to location shot, which can sometimes be a time suck.

We headed back to Regatta Place for the ceremony - it tented on the end of a dock. All the aesthetics are cohesive amongst the venue which create a nice clean look. Tom + Meghan shared their vows to each other - it was funny to hear each of them echoing what the other had wrote, it really made you believe in true love and that some people are truly destined for one another.

Top Reasons To Hire A Wedding Videographer

We can't tell you how many times we hear brides tell us they weren't planning on hiring a videographer initially but are so glad they did. Don't get us wrong, we love wedding photos and do our best to capture the moments that make your special day magical. But there's just something about being able to look back on your day - see the movements, hear the sounds, and watch the day unfold. So if you're going back and forth on whether or not you should hire a wedding videographer, here are a few of our top reasons as to why it's a wedding day must.

Re-Live Your Favorite Moments

Video is immersive. Watching your wedding video brings you back to those very moments you're watching unfold on the screen. There's much to be said about wedding photos, but video takes it a step further by capturing the overall atmosphere and essence of the day. There's just something special being able to watch back your own expressions and reactions in real-time. Not to mention all the moments you missed! Which brings us to our next reason...

Take In All The Details You Missed

One of the things we hear from our couples all the time is, "I'm just trying to take it all in!" A wedding day is overwhelming in all the best ways! After spending months preparing and working over the details, you want to be able to enjoy the fruit of your labor! However, you also want to enjoy your guests and, of course, your new spouse! So with all the celebrating, it's easy to miss out on some of the details of the day but with a wedding video, you can take it all in from the comfort of your own couch. Over and over again.

Share The Experience With Loved Ones

A wedding highlight is a great way to share your day with all those who were apart of making it so special, as well as friends and family who weren't able to attend. Having a video allows people to experience (or re-experience) all the beauty and emotion of your wedding day. So whether you post it to Instagram, text it out, heck - you could even send it in an old-fashioned email chain (for once, an email chain we like)...we know it will be something you and your loved ones treasure.

All The Memories For Years To Come

Here at Move Mountains Co., we love curating the most special moments of the day and creating a wedding highlight you'll watch over and over again, for years to come. How cool it will be to one day re-watch your wedding day with your kids, showing them what it was like when mom and dad got married! We make every effort to capture the beauty of your wedding day but even more importantly, we work to capture the beauty of what's to come in your marriage. It’s our hope that when you watch your wedding video, it transports you back to that sacred day and those very moments where you exchanged vows to love and to cherish one another for the rest of your lives.

We had the awesome opportunity to work with 5 amazing MM team members. They were so incredibly helpful when organizing the weekend with us. I haven’t even gotten to the final product - our pictures and videos! We received our AMAZING pictures so quickly and I was at a loss for words when looking through them. All the emotions came flooding back and I couldn’t believe how beautiful they were. We’re so excited to receive our videos soon and I know they will be absolutely breathtaking. Thank you MM for being so incredibly wonderful during the best weekend of our lives! We love you guys!”

The RAW Truth

So What is RAW Footage?

We get it all the time. In fact, it’s one of our most frequently asked questions! We include RAW footage in all of our wedding videography packages, but what is it anyways?

Simply put, RAW footage is a digital copy of every file our video team has captured from the day! No color correcting, no trimming or editing, just straight out of the camera! These files can range from a 10 second shot of your invitations to a 20 minute angle from your wedding ceremony! It’s a great way to have an archive of your big day, and preserve candid moments with loved ones! If a family member passes or there are a few shots that didn’t make the cut for the highlight film, you will still have these clips preserved for you to enjoy! The amount of files you receive depends on the length of the day and the number of videographers that were filming that day!

Now it is important to note: having all of your RAW footage does NOT necessarily equate to having a full-length version of your ceremony! Typically when we shoot our wedding ceremonies we keep one camera in the back with a wide angle to catch all of the action, but unfortunately we aren’t able to control guests blocking the angle or bumping into the tripod legs! Additionally, since the RAW footage is delivered in additional clips, any other angles of the ceremony would have to be watched separately!

To resolve this, we offer edited ceremony and speech films for our couples as an add on to their package! In doing this, we intercut all of camera angles together so you can see the best angles at the best times, synchronize the film with our HD audio recordings, and color correct the film to match the look of your highlight film, creating a seamless viewing experience that you can share with loved ones! To see the difference it makes, check out this video below!

Brett + Bryce

Roger Williams Botanical Gardens + Coventry Sand Dunes

Cranston, RI

The Botanical Gardens in Providence, Rhode Island became the perfect oasis for Brett and Bryce's mid-winter wedding engagement session. We love coming to this tropical greenhouse year-round for both engagements and weddings! Afterwards, we braved the cold at the Coventry Sand Dunes to get some beautiful, classic beach shots. It may have been January, but the results were totally worth it! Brett and Bryce's photos were taken by Sean as part of the Deluxe package: one of our most popular offers for wedding photography and wedding videography. Their taste for adventure and sense of fun made for one of our most memorable shoots to date! We can't wait for their wedding at the Providence G Ballroom in Providence, RI!
