Understand your wedding film release timeline
Why Skytona releases your wedding in chapters across the first year, what arrives when, and how your memories stay protected the entire time.
Your wedding releases like a film, because it is one
Skytona releases wedding films in stages so each edit has a clear purpose and the complete documentary moments remain available alongside the main film.
The schedule is measured from the wedding date. Your Cinema room shows only the releases included in your collection and tracks each one as it moves through editing.
Not every release belongs to every collection. Your Skytona Film and your anniversary release are part of all three collections. The sneak peek and the trailer are part of The Feature and The Premiere. Your portal always shows the releases your own collection includes, so the dates you see there are yours rather than a general schedule.
- Every collection: the wedding day, your film at about six months, the anniversary release at a year
- The Feature and The Premiere add: a sneak peek at about two weeks and a trailer at about three months
What your collection includes
The differences are worth knowing early, because they change what lands in your portal and when. Here is the honest version.
- Every collection: your Skytona Film at about six months, then your full ceremony and toasts at a year
- The Feature and The Premiere also receive: a sneak peek at about two weeks, and a trailer at about three months
- The Premiere adds a social teaser on top of those
- The Cut includes neither a sneak peek nor a trailer
On The Cut
The Cut does not include a trailer or a sneak peek. It is built around one strong film plus your full ceremony and toasts, and that is the shape of the collection rather than something missing from it. A trailer comes with The Feature and The Premiere, so if that release matters to you, it is worth knowing before you book rather than after.
Why the anniversary release exists
Your feature film is edited for story and pacing, which means some moments serve the film best in glimpses. The anniversary release exists so nothing is lost to pacing: the complete ceremony, the full first dances, and every toast, preserved end to end.
The anniversary release places those complete records in your Cinema room one year after the wedding, separate from the shorter story edit.
Need something sooner?
If an earlier delivery genuinely matters, contact Skytona and we will talk honestly about whether a rush timeline is possible for your project. Rush work is scoped carefully so quality never pays the price.
Follow your film through the edit
The Cinema tab tracks your project from the wedding countdown through each included release.
Before the wedding you will see the countdown. Afterward, the tracker moves through the edit: story assembly, color, sound, licensing, and the final quality pass, then each release as it arrives.
If a date moves
If a planned date changes, the portal shows the release in final polish with an updated date and a team note. Skytona also contacts you before the original date passes.
A move usually means the edit or quality review needs more time. The new date in Cinema becomes the current delivery commitment for that release.
You hear it from us first
If a release date moves, we contact you before it passes, with the reason and a new date. A date that slips in silence is a service failure rather than a delay, and it is the part we hold ourselves to.
How your memories are protected
From the moment the day ends, your footage is treated like the irreplaceable thing it is. Skytona follows a multiple-copy protection discipline: several copies, in separate places, with a protected copy kept apart from the active editing environment.
The principle is simple: your wedding should never depend on a single drive, a single machine, or a single point of failure.
- The single-copy gamble: one drive, one failure away
- The Skytona standard: multiple copies, separate places
Privacy is part of the release
Skytona believes privacy is a fundamental right. Your Blueprint includes permissions for portfolio use, behind-the-scenes sharing, vendor tagging, embargo dates, and guests who should not appear in public marketing. Those choices are honored at every release.
If your boundaries change, tell us. We would rather ask twice than publish something that should have stayed private.
Still have questions?
Contact Skytona or open the right portal.
The public help center explains the why, the what, and the next step. Project-specific details should stay in your portal.
