  This common style of wedding videography, which is sometimes known as video journalism, simply shows all of the day's events in the order that they occurred and is edited in a straightforward, no-nonsense way.

 To create a cinematic wedding video, your videographer will cut and edit your wedding footage to make scenes flow together like a real movie (except, unlike in Hollywood, this love story is real). The events won't necessarily be in sequential order (scenes of the vows might be interspersed with dance floor shots), making for a more artful depiction of the day's events than you would get with a documentary-style film. 

 Also known as a short wedding film, a wedding trailer is a three- to five-minute-long motion picture that wraps up the day in one pretty, shareable package. Similar to a cinematic feature-length video, different scenes from the day mixed with music (and sometimes interviews with your family and wedding party) come together to create a short, emotional clip. Most videographers will provide a link so you can share your trailer online. 

 Similar to photo booths, video confessional booths entertain your guests and make fun keepsakes. A camera is set up in a quiet area in or outside the reception, and guests stop by throughout the night to record well wishes (or, even better, funny stories) on camera. Many videographers will also create highlight reels from all the clips guests make so you can share them later. 

 A highlight reel is a 5- to 15-minute flick that includes -- yep, you guessed it -- just the highlights from your wedding day (think: the vows, the cake cutting, the toasts and the dances).
