## Emotional Arc:

### Act 1: The Beginning (0:00-0:45)
**Mood**: Anticipation, tenderness, quiet excitement
- **0:00-0:10**: Establishing shots — venue details, flowers, rings, invitation (macro shots)
- **0:10-0:25**: Getting ready — parallel edit bride and groom
  - Bride: dress, veil, mother's reaction, mirror moment
  - Groom: tie, cufflinks, deep breath, friends' encouragement
- **0:25-0:45**: The walk — slow motion, building anticipation
- **Audio**: soft piano or acoustic, building slowly

### Act 2: The Ceremony (0:45-1:45)
**Mood**: Emotion, gravity, love, tears
- **0:45-1:00**: First look or processional (THE emotional peak moment)
- **1:00-1:20**: Vows (audio from the actual vows — the heart of the film)
- **1:20-1:35**: Ring exchange, the kiss
- **1:35-1:45**: Recessional — pure joy, laughter, confetti/petals
- **Audio**: vows as voiceover, music swells at the kiss

### Act 3: The Celebration (1:45-2:45)
**Mood**: Joy, energy, love, community
- **1:45-2:00**: Portraits — golden hour couple shots, epic landscape if available
- **2:00-2:20**: Reception details — table settings, first dance (slow mo)
- **2:20-2:35**: Party — speeches (brief audio), dancing, laughter, candid moments
- **2:35-2:45**: Sparkler exit or sunset moment
- **Audio**: upbeat but emotional, building to crescendo

### Closing (2:45-3:00)
- One final intimate moment (forehead kiss, hand squeeze, quiet laugh)
- Fade or cut to names and date
- **Audio**: music resolves, silence or nature ambient

## Editing Principles:
- Cut on the beat of the music — every edit is rhythmic
- Slow motion for emotional moments (60fps minimum)
- Real-time for energy and joy
- Color grade: warm, slightly desaturated, film-like
- Aspect ratio: 2.39:1 for cinematic feel
