Be Careful of Copyright Issues
Although you might be quick to jump on any song that you fancy, do note that commercial music is still subjected to copyright, especially if you wish to share your video online.
If you take a look at the most popular wedding videos on YouTube, including Felix and Marzia’s wedding – you will be able to find out what music licenses need to be acquired.
As you can see, just one video may require up to 15 separate music licenses from multiple music publishing companies – it is up to you to decide whether it is worth taking up the additional time, risk, and investment.
Some of the biggest names include Universal Music Publishing Group, Broadcast Music, Inc., and Composers & Authors Society of Singapore Ltd (COMPASS) that wedding videographers and couples can reach out to obtain the relevant permissions and licenses.
Fortunately, there are many other sources online where couples can get their music and a unique and beautiful masterpiece can still be produced.
There are tons of royalty-free music, unplugged covers, and affordable licenses that are much more accessible so you don’t ever have to worry about being restricted when it comes to your music options!
Find the Right Songs for Your Wedding Video
At the end of the day, you should choose songs that hold special meaning and perfectly describe the feelings and passion you have between you and your partner.
To start, you can narrow down your options by choosing a music genre such as acoustic, indie, or ballad. For scenes that have quite a bit of dialogue, adding an instrumental piece in the background will also add to the atmosphere.
