What is RAW footage? | Shannon White Photography | Utah Wedding Videographer

Updated: Nov 3, 2023

After reading about the packages I offer you may be asking yourself...


What is RAW footage?


Raw footage (sometimes called “source footage”) is the crude, unprocessed camera output that a videographer captures while shooting. It won't have the look or feel of the final product, and you might notice things in the video that are usually removed during the editing process such as, camera shake.


Most videographers will not give you the raw footage for your wedding day. Or, some may sell it to you as an “add-on" and charge such a hefty price that it deters you away from purchasing it in the first place. And while I don't give away the RAW footage from the entire wedding day, I will give you the RAW footage from your ceremony, start to finish. And I do this at no extra cost.


On the day of your wedding, just before your ceremony, I will place one camera on a tripod and point t towards the direction that the bride will be facing. Then, I will place another camera on a tripod and point it towards the direction that the groom is facing. These cameras will record the bride and groom simultaneously during the ceremony. You will get the RAW unedited footage from both of these cameras so you can rewatch it from the bride's point of view, or rewatch it from the groom's point view. Lastly, I will have another camera that will be pointed towards the center of the aisle to capture the procession and to catch both the bride and groom together at the altar. This camera is handheld on a gimbal, therefore the RAW footage you receive from this camera will be a little rough as I will be moving in and out of the procession line as need be. When all is said and done, you will be able to watch your ceremony from beginning to end from 3 different camera angles. But that's not all! I will then take the footage and edit a ceremony video that cuts between all 3 camera angles. Take a look at the example below.
