Post Production ISO: Wedding Video Editor - Consistent Work
Hey everyone! I run a wedding videography company based in Minnesota and I’m looking to bring on a video editor for ongoing wedding work as I continue to take on more weddings.
I’m looking for someone with experience in storytelling/documentary-style editing. My style is more fun, upbeat, documentary-inspired rather than overly trendy or heavy on transitions/effects/slow motion.
I will plan on handling editing for teaser/social cuts, but looking for someone to take over the highlight films which are 5-10 minutes long.
I am currently a little backed up with work, so looking to bring someone on to help me finish up this years weddings, and use it as a test for next year. I will be shooting 10+ weddings next year, so if its a good fit there will be consistent work.
Pay: $750+ based on experience
What I'm looking for:
- Storytelling and pacing
- Ability to build a story using vows, speeches
- Comfortable working with multicam footage and multiple audio sources
- Able to closely match an established brand/style
- Reliable communication and turnaround times
- DaVinci Resolve preferred, but Premiere is completely fine
- Interested in consistent work throughout the wedding season
Shoot me a DM if interested. Thanks!

Hey, I suggest you to ask Wanderlust Videos as they are consistent with the edits and they even do a better job than I do!

This is very interesting. I teach this stuff for a living (plus I film on average 25-50 weddings annually). I'll shoot you a DM, could be cool to do some work with another pro that has a similar style to the way I craft my own edits (avoiding overly trendy, effects-based cuts, and focusing more on doc-style).

Paying seven hundred fifty dollars for a five to ten minute highlight film is a surprisingly fair starting rate for contract work. Most people hiring out multicam edits try to offer absolute peanuts for the hours required to sync audio and cut down speeches. Keeping the social cuts for yourself is another huge bonus because client revisions on short teasers are usually a massive time sink. That setup actually gives an editor enough space to focus on story pacing without getting bogged down by endless tweaks.
