Everything you'd ask us on a call

That's the entire service. Before your first project we review your past films, references, presets, and music taste. Your dedicated editor, the same person on every project, keeps a living style profile for your studio. By film three, most clients say they can't tell our edits from their own.

Yes. This is the main difference between Luminary and platform services. You're matched with one of our six senior editors, and your projects go to them, season after season.

Absolutely. Some of our favorite clients sent us their very first wedding. Feedback comes judgment-free, and we'll happily explain why we made each editing choice so you grow with us.

Tell us your season calendar in advance and we'll reserve capacity. Because we're deliberately small, we don't take more than we can edit well, which is exactly why the deadlines hold.

Highlight films typically deliver in around 12 days. Feature films, documentaries, and complex multicam projects are quoted per project; you'll have a specific date in writing before any footage moves. We'd rather promise a real date and hit it than advertise a fantasy number.

Every project includes one full round of revisions, delivered via timestamped comments. Additional rounds are available at a straightforward rate per project. Our upfront consultation and free sample cut mean most films land in one pass.

Dropbox, Google Drive, or WeTransfer work well for most projects. Prefer to ship a hard drive? That works too. No cloud storage of your own? We'll give you access to ours while your project is in progress.

Adobe Premiere Pro, exclusively. We work in the same NLE as most professional wedding studios, so if you ever want the project file back, it opens cleanly in your setup.

Yes. If you'd like the Premiere Pro project file alongside your finished film, just ask. We include it.

You do. Send the tracks with your footage. If you need help with licensing, we'll point you toward the right services, but we work with whatever tracks you've already cleared for your clients.

Anything you need: delivery formats, resolutions, and social crops, named and packaged for your brand.

0 to 4 hours, consistently. During peak season too.

No. Delivery is 100% white-label. Our name appears nowhere in files, metadata, or correspondence. Many of our longest-running clients' couples have been thanking their editor for years without knowing we exist.

Yes, gladly. We can work under your NDA or provide a standard agreement.

You do. Always. We need permission to edit it, nothing more. We never showcase your work in our portfolio without written approval.

It's retained for a window after delivery to cover revisions, then permanently deleted. Keep your own backups regardless; we'll remind you.

Every studio's films, lengths, and volumes are different, so we quote per project after a short conversation: in writing, before any footage moves, with no surprises after. The fastest way to a number is the test edit form.

A real conversation about your style, then a free sample cut of the opening minutes of your highlight film. If you love it, we finish the full film and you pay after approving a watermarked version. If you don't, you walk away owing nothing. It's how almost every client relationship we have started.

Our longest client relationships have run for four to eight years. When the work is right, people don't leave.
