How long it takes
Editing a wedding properly takes longer than most couples expect, and we would rather set the expectation honestly than quietly miss it. These are the timings we work to. If a date is going to slip we tell you before it passes.
Before the wedding
One to two weeks after booking we plan the day with you: the running order, the locations, the people who must be in the film, and anything the venue restricts. Nothing is needed from you on the day itself.
After the wedding
Your trailer
Three to five minutes, ready about a month after the wedding. This is the version most couples share.
Your full film
Fifteen to sixty minutes depending on the package, ready one to two months after the wedding. It keeps the vows, the speeches and the ceremony close to whole.
Your photographs
The full set is ready within two months. We usually send a handful of favourites within the first fortnight, but we can’t promise a date for those.
How you receive everything
- A Dropbox download link, included as standard, sent within three to five working days of the edit being signed off. The link stays live for twelve months, after which it is deleted. Please note it is your responsibility to download your edited videos; once the link is deleted, APRICOT is not liable for any loss.
- The unedited footage on a drive, £300 as an optional extra. It includes every usable clip from the day and ships within five working days.
Drafts and revisions
Every booking includes one draft and two rounds of revisions. Send everything you want changed in one message rather than a few at a time. It is faster for you and it keeps the edit coherent.
- First round: tell us within fourteen working days of the draft and there is no charge. It takes one to two weeks to turn around.
- Second round: tell us within seven working days of the first revision. It takes about a week.
- After those windows, or beyond two rounds, further revisions are £250 each.
If you need something faster than the timings above, a 48-hour priority revision is available for an additional fee, subject to what else is in the edit suite that week.
