Wedding Highlight Films

Real Moments. Unscripted Emotion. Your True Story.

Your wedding day isn't a photoshoot; it is a life-changing event filled with fleeting glances, spontaneous laughter, and overwhelming love. At Silver Leaf Weddings, we believe the most beautiful moments are the ones that happen naturally.

Our Documentary Highlight Films are designed to capture the authentic spirit of your celebration. We don't direct your day; we observe it, preserving the genuine narrative of your love story exactly as it unfolded.

What is a Documentary Highlight Film?

A Documentary Highlight Film is a 5 minute edit that prioritizes storytelling over staged perfection. While we use cinema-quality cameras and audio, our approach is that of a "fly on the wall."

We focus on:

  • Candid Interactions: The way your grandmother looks at you, the nervous hand-squeeze before the ceremony, the laughter during speeches.

  • Audio Storytelling: We weave real audio—your vows, the officiant's words, and toasts from loved ones—to drive the emotional arc of the film.

The Atmosphere: The sounds, the environment, and the energy of the party are all captured to transport you back to that specific time and place.

 FAQs

  • Not at all. Our entire philosophy is built on capturing authentic moments as they happen. We don't direct scenes or ask you to "fake laugh." Aside from a short creative session (usually done alongside your photographer), we are 100% documentary. We want you to focus on your guests, not our cameras.

  • We believe music is the heartbeat of your film. We license high-quality music from professional libraries (like MusicBed or Artlist) that matches the emotion and pace of your wedding.

    While we don't use mainstream Top 40 songs due to copyright laws, we select timeless tracks that ensure your video won't be blocked on social media. We are happy to discuss the "vibe" you love before we start editing!

  • Absolutely. Audio is what turns a music video into a story. We use high-end, discreet lavalier microphones to capture your vows and speeches with crystal-clear quality. We then weave these spoken words into your highlight film to drive the narrative.

  • We put a lot of care into the editing process. Typically, you will receive your final Highlight Film within 8 weeks of your wedding date. We focus on quality over speed to ensure every frame is perfect.

  • Yes, raw footage is available as an add-on to our packages. While your Highlight Film is a polished, cinematic edit, raw footage gives you every single file we shot that day, unedited and untouched. It is a great archival backup for the future.

  • We love to travel! While we are based in Toronto, we frequently film at venues across the GTA and beyond, including Muskoka and Niagara. If you are planning a destination wedding, please Contact Us for a custom travel quote.

  • To secure your date, we require a signed contract and a 50% retainer. Dates fill up quickly (especially for peak summer months), so we recommend reaching out as soon as you have your venue booked.
