The Benefits of Full Wedding Day Videography Coverage
(Because your story doesn’t start at the ceremony)
Here’s the thing… when it comes to your wedding day, everything matters. The nervous giggles while buttoning up your dress. The way your dad double-checks his tie, pretending not to tear up. The last deep breath you take before walking down the aisle. The thoughtful speeches. The joyful (and absolutely chaotic) dance floor. The in-between moments you’ll forget… unless someone captures them for you.
That’s why all of my wedding videography packages include full-day or full-weekend coverage. Not because it’s trendy. Not because I’m trying to upsell you. But because your love story deserves to be documented in full.
Let’s talk about why.
First, what does “full wedding day videography” actually mean?
When you book full-day coverage, it means I’m with you from morning prep to final send-off. Every part of your day gets the time, care, and attention it deserves, not just the “main events.”
We’re talking:
Getting ready moments with your closest people
Letter readings and gift exchanges
The anticipation before the ceremony
Golden hour couple portraits
Toasting at dinner
The wild energy of the dance floor
Quiet little glances and gestures in between
Partial coverage or hourly coverage, on the other hand, might only capture the ceremony and a bit of the reception. It’s more limited, more rigid, and usually misses out on the full emotional arc of the day.
Why full-day coverage tells a better story
Weddings aren’t just a sequence of events, they’re a story with a beginning, middle, and end.
Morning prep sets the tone: the butterflies, the laughter, the details you’ve been dreaming about for months.
The ceremony is the heartbeat.
Cocktail hour and dinner bring in the warmth, the community, and the legacy of the people you’ve invited.
And the party? That’s when the magic explodes. Your people fully themselves, the celebration for you two turned all the way up.
To tell your story fully and authentically, we need all of it. Because your love deserves more than a highlight reel of just the “big moments.”
What couples say after choosing full-day coverage
“Jess was a great communicator, so kind, thoughtful, and calm, and made sure everything went as smoothly as possible on our wedding day. Not only are the videos she created absolutely gorgeous to watch visually, but she was able to capture us, our friends and family, and our wedding day in such a personal, meaningful, and authentic way. I love the way she captured all aspects of the day--from the little details that we didn't necessarily even get to appreciate during our wedding day to our favorite big moments.”
– Danielle & Nixon
“She was so joyful to be around, put everyone at ease, and honestly by the end of the reception it felt like she was just another friend who came to celebrate our day! She was always friendly and professional and if I had to pick all over again I would pick honey fox films in a HEART BEAT.”
– Maddie & Nick
“On the day of our wedding, Jess was a literal angel. She was always a step ahead, offered us water, and made us feel so special. Our families and friends loved her and felt so comfortable around her which was also very important to us. Overall, our experience surpassed everything we could have asked for. Every moment with her was relaxed and calm. We felt like we could be our goofy selves.”
– GinaMarie & Christopher
You can read more of these love notes here, but TL;DR: full-day coverage is one of the top things couples say they’re most grateful for.
Why do I only offer full-day and full-weekend packages?
Simple: because you’ll never regret having more memories to look back on.
I’ve filmed hundreds of couples, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that time moves fast on your wedding day. The more you try to condense what gets filmed, the more likely something special will be left out.
That’s why I build my packages to cover:
Full-day coverage (getting ready to send-off)
Drone footage (when location + weather allow)
Full raw footage of the ceremony and speeches
10-minute highlight film
a bonus 2-minute preview film for sharing right away
Optional nostalgic add-ons like Super 8 and Camcorder footage
And for my wedding weekend clients: rehearsal dinners, welcome parties, and day-after hangs too
You don’t have to choose between memories because with me, you just get them all.

The final take: You only get this day once
You’ll never say, “I wish we had less of our day filmed.”
But I’ve heard people say, “I wish we’d had footage of the morning,” or “I didn’t know my partner was that emotional before the ceremony,” or “I would’ve loved to see more of the dance party.”
Full-day videography means no missing pieces. It’s the whole story. And when you’re watching it back 5, 15, 30 years from now, you’ll be so glad you chose to see it all.
