The footage to gather

  1. A location before the session
  2. A short direction to the couple
  3. The resulting image with permission

Give each moment a little breathing room. Get close enough to show the detail, and keep the original clips handy.

Plan a footage-led story

Opening

Start with the clearest evidence in the supplied clips.

Middle

Ask Amira to select a short sequence around that evidence, keeping one must-use moment.

Ending

End with the viewer understanding what happened.

Review it for wedding photographers

Use only footage and photographs cleared for promotional use.

Ask yourself: Does the edit preserve the action and context you recorded?

Watch it as if you were seeing it for the first time. If something is unclear, try a different cut or add the missing shot.
