Wedding video
The speeches,
from the good seats.
Your photographer is shooting the room. Your guests are holding thirty phones at the exact angle you'll wish someone had filmed. WeddingPOV lets them record 30-second clips with sound, straight into the same live feed as the photos.
Video is included on every plan, free one too.
How guest video actually works
Four things worth knowing before you put a QR code on the tables.
Thirty seconds, hard stop
The app ends the take at thirty seconds. That ceiling is doing real work — it keeps clips watchable, keeps uploads fast on venue wifi, and means guests actually finish and post instead of abandoning a four-minute file.
Recorded with sound
Audio is the entire point for a toast or a vow. The app asks for the microphone the first time a guest switches to video. Decline it and recording still works, silently — nothing breaks.
One upload, same as a photo
A clip costs one upload against your plan, exactly like a photo. No separate video quota to think about, no maths at the reception.
Recorded in the iPhone app
Photos work from any phone browser with nothing to install. Video needs the free WeddingPOV app for iPhone — phone browsers can't record and upload video reliably, and we'd rather say so than have it fail mid-speech.
Versus asking people to send you their videos
The default plan is a group chat and good intentions. Here's how that goes.
| What matters | Asking guests to send them | WeddingPOV |
|---|---|---|
| Getting the files | Chasing people for weeks in a group chat | They land in your feed as they're recorded |
| Quality after sending | Compressed by the messaging app | Uploaded at 720p, not re-compressed by a chat |
| Who remembers to send | The two people you ask twice | Anyone with the app open at their table |
| Where they end up | Scattered across texts, AirDrop and email | In one feed with the photos, in order |
| Length | A four-minute clip nobody rewatches | 30 seconds — the part that's actually good |
| Sound | Fine, if they held the phone still | Recorded with audio, made for speeches |
FAQ
Wedding video questions, answered.
How long can a guest's wedding video be?
+
Thirty seconds. The app stops recording on its own at the limit, so nobody has to watch a timer. Thirty seconds is long enough for a toast punchline, a full vow, or a message to the couple, and short enough that guests actually finish and post them.
Do the video clips have sound?
+
Yes. Clips record with audio, which is the whole point for speeches and vows. The app asks for microphone permission the first time you switch to video. If you decline, recording still works — it just records silently.
Can guests record video without installing an app?
+
No. Photos work from any phone browser with nothing to install, but recording video needs the free WeddingPOV app for iPhone. Phone browsers can't reliably record and upload video, so we'd rather say that plainly than ship something that fails at a reception.
Do videos use up the same allowance as photos?
+
Yes, one upload each. A 30-second clip and a photo both count as a single upload against your plan, so you don't have to ration video separately. The free tier holds 100 photos and videos in any mix.
How do the clips play back?
+
They autoplay muted as you scroll the feed, with a play badge and the clip length shown in the corner. Tap one and it opens full screen with sound. It behaves the way video behaves everywhere else on a phone.
Is this a replacement for a wedding videographer?
+
No, and we wouldn't pitch it as one. A videographer gives you a filmed, edited, colour-graded film of your day. This gives you the thirty seconds your best friend recorded from the second row, the speech nobody was assigned to film, and the dance floor at 11pm. Most couples who use both are glad they did.
Get the toast. All of it.
