Wedding Camcorder Rental
There’s an entire version of your wedding you’ll never get to see.
We send a ready-to-film camcorder for your wedding weekend. Your favorite people pass it around. We turn their footage into a nostalgic 3–5 minute wedding home movie, and you keep the usable raw clips.

Filmed by Their People
You Can’t Be Everywhere
While you’re here, your wedding is happening over there.
While you’re getting ready, someone is making your parents laugh. While you’re taking portraits, your friends are together at cocktail hour. While you’re on the dance floor, conversations are happening across the room.
The Weekend Tape brings those parts of the day back to you — filmed by the people who were actually there living them.
It isn’t just more footage. It’s access to the parts of the wedding you missed.
Three Ways to Remember the Same Wedding
Three ways to see your wedding.
Your photographer documents the wedding intentionally.
Your filmmaker tells the story through a professional lens.
The Weekend Tape puts the camera inside the group.
Different cameras. Different access. Different memories. The Weekend Tape was made to preserve the perspective only your people can give you.
Why The Weekend Tape
The camera is only part of the experience.
The real difference is what has been built around it — how the kit is prepared, how your people are guided, and what happens after the camera comes back.
We didn’t start with a rental business and add weddings to it. We started with weddings and built The Weekend Tape around them.
Built by wedding photographers.
After more than 12 years photographing weddings, we know how quickly the day moves — and how much happens outside the couple’s view. That experience shapes the kit, the guidance, and the moments we encourage your people to notice.
Designed for real guests.
Your friends and family are not filmmakers, and they shouldn’t have to be. The camera arrives ready to use with a Quick Start guide, extra batteries, a light, and filming prompts. Open it, press record, pass it on.
The printed cards stay with the kit throughout the weekend, so anyone who picks up the camera can quickly see how to use it, what is worth filming, and how to keep the footage simple and natural.
Handled from shipping through final delivery.
We prepare the kit, ship it to you, include the return label, review the footage, create the finished Weekend Tape, and deliver all raw footage. You are not left piecing together equipment, files, or an edit after the wedding.
The camera is only the beginning.
What matters is everything built around it — the guidance, the wedding-day experience, the edit, and what comes back to you afterward.

Before You Reserve
A few things couples usually want to know before reserving.
Why not just use everyone’s phones?
You can, but phone clips usually end up scattered across camera rolls, texts, AirDrops, and social posts. With The Weekend Tape, the footage stays together and we handle turning it into your finished Weekend Tape.
Does The Weekend Tape replace a videographer?
It doesn’t have to. It can be a personal way to preserve your wedding if you aren’t hiring one, or an entirely different perspective alongside professional videography.
When does the kit arrive and how do we return it?
We plan for your kit to arrive approximately 3 days before your wedding date, giving you a little breathing room for possible shipping delays and time to check out the camera before the wedding begins. Prepaid return shipping is included, and the kit should be sent back within 3 business days after the wedding.
Do we get all the footage?
Yes. Your booking includes the finished 3–5 minute Weekend Tape plus all usable raw footage. Raw clips are generally delivered within 72 hours after we receive your returned kit. Your online gallery gives you access to both the raw clips and finished Weekend Tape for one year after delivery.
When do we get the finished Weekend Tape?
Your finished Weekend Tape is typically delivered 3–5 weeks after we receive your returned kit.
