Cinematic Highlight
EDITORS’ CHOICE | SONG RECOMMENDATIONS
Thank you again for choosing Bow Tie Photo & Video for your wedding videography needs. We’re looking forward to capturing your big day! Following your wedding, the footage will head off to our expert in-house editing team to work their magic! Delivery time is typically within 8 weeks, if we have your song selection in advance!
Below is a list of our editing team’s top recommended songs for a Cinematic Highlight film. After several hundreds of videos made, these songs have proven to fit the vibe of most any wedding.
One of the most important aspects of a great wedding song is one that starts slow and builds into a crescendo moment where we can match the most exciting parts of your day to the high-energy part of the song. Two absolute favorites from this list are "Wouldn't Miss It For The World” and “When I’m with You, Ben Rector.”
We could talk at length as to why these songs are each an excellent choice but, for the sake of simplicity, we'll just get down to giving you the list!
Pro-Tip: Use YouTube to listen to the full song of your short list to make sure your #1 pick is perfect for you.

As mentioned before, YouTube is a great resource for listening to the full song of your short list. (Reminder: We do need the song to be selected from these websites for copyright reasons.)
Special Note: While popular songs such as "Thinking Out Loud” by Ed Sheeran tend to be used for wedding videos, we suggest against most of those choices as it can make your video feel like a repetitive music video rather than a personalized wedding video. There are some timeless exceptions to this, such as "A Thousand Years” by Christina Perri, and others that you'll see in our playlist.
