“RAW” footage is often a misunderstood concept. In practice, it consists of a large, often-overwhelming collection of varied clips recorded in what’s known as a flat profile. This format captures the maximum possible image data, giving us the flexibility to carefully refine, color-correct, and color-grade the footage into a polished, professional final product.

However, before that process takes place, RAW footage appears extremely low-contrast and largely devoid of defined color tones, often looking washed-out or even grayish. Delivering footage in this state would not only lack visual appeal, but would also involve impractically large file sizes and an unorganized collection of clips rather than anything close to a cohesive, finished presentation.

That being said, for an additional fee, we do offer what we call a Core Edit. This is a clean, straightforward edit that more closely matches what many people expect when they think of “RAW” footage.

The Core Edit is organized chronologically and can be delivered either as one continuous video or divided into simple, chapter-style sections (such as getting ready, ceremony, and reception). It includes basic color correction only, with no stylized editing, special effects, or added music. The audio consists solely of the original sound captured on the day, without any additional enhancement or mixing.
