Your wedding is a week. Your film should be too. Cameras in your guests' hands from the welcome dinner to the last dance — edited into something no hired videographer could ever capture.
A destination wedding on the Big Island isn't eight hours — it's five days. The uncle telling stories at the welcome dinner. Your college friends attempting to snorkel. Your grandmother's face on the sunset sail. A hired film crew can't be everywhere for a week — but your guests already are.
With Blue Haven Tapes, we hand out cameras at the start of your wedding week, give your people a few playful prompts, and collect everything at the end. Then our editors weave the footage — imperfect, hilarious, tender — into a keepsake film that feels like memory itself.
A kit of cameras arrives with your welcome bags, along with simple prompt cards: "film someone laughing," "capture the water," "interview the parents."
Welcome dinner, beach day, snorkeling, rehearsal, getting-ready mornings, the reception itself. Everyone becomes a documentarian — and the footage is wonderfully honest.
We collect the cameras before you fly home and edit the best of everything into your Blue Haven Tape — a film of your whole week, scored and color-graded, yours forever.
Guest-captured films require an editing team that can turn a mountain of mixed footage into something beautiful — most studios won't touch it. It's become our signature, and it pairs perfectly with our photo and film coverage of the wedding day itself.
Blue Haven Tapes is included in our Wedding Week collection and available as an add-on to any other collection.
It's included in the Wedding Week collection and available as an add-on to the Elopement or Island Collection — pricing depends on your guest count and number of event days. Ask when you inquire.
Enough that no one has to share awkwardly — typically one camera per household or friend group, scaled to your guest list.
Some of it will be — that's part of the charm. Our editors are good at finding the gold, and honest, imperfect footage is exactly what makes these films feel like memories instead of productions.
Yes. Blue Haven Tapes complements traditional videography rather than replacing it — your videographer covers the day; your guests cover the week.
