The Best Music for Wedding Films

Jan 3

What’s a wedding film without the perfect music? It's like a wedding cake without frosting—technically still there, but let’s be real, who’s interested? At Shyah K Films, we believe the music in your wedding video isn’t just background noise; it’s the emotional engine that powers every tear, every laugh, and every goosebump.

With countless wedding films under our belt, we’ve learned one universal truth: choosing the right music is 90% art and 10% finding that song your great aunt won’t complain about. So, let’s dive into the best tracks for your wedding film and why picking the right one is just as important as hiring a videographer who knows you better than your own Spotify Wrapped.

1. “Leave the Door Open,” by Silk Sonic

Lyrics of Love:
“I ain't playin' no games
Every word that I say is coming straight from the heart”

Silk Sonic doesn’t just bring the romance—they serve it on a platter of smooth harmonies and buttery vocals. This song is a perfect choice for those swoon-worthy, slow-motion shots of you and your partner locking eyes for the first time on your big day. It’s suave, timeless, and a little cheeky—just like every great love story. Bonus: your guests will still be humming it long after the video ends.

2. “We Found Love,” by Rihanna and Calvin Harris

Lyrics of Love:
“Yellow diamonds in the light
And we're standing side by side”

For the couple that met at the club—or at least pretends they did—this track is pure electricity. It’s great for capturing those lively dance floor moments, champagne-popping shots, or even your sparkler send-off. It screams, “We’re fun, fabulous, and maybe a little too obsessed with Rihanna.” And honestly, who isn’t?

3. “(I've Had) The Time of My Life,” by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes

Lyrics of Love:
“Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before”

Iconic. Classic. Guaranteed to make your dad try that Dirty Dancing lift during the reception. This song has a magical ability to transport anyone back to the golden age of romance (even if your version of romance is more Netflix and chill than Patrick Swayze and Baby). For those heartwarming montage moments, this song is as reliable as your grandma sneaking an extra slice of cake.

Why Music Matters So Much

Your wedding film is a love letter to your future selves—a visual and auditory keepsake you’ll want to rewatch every anniversary. The music is the bridge between the visuals and the emotions. It can amplify joy, underscore intimacy, or even add a touch of humor (because who doesn’t want their bloopers set to “Yakety Sax”?).

At Shyah K Films, we don’t just slap on any generic track. We work closely with you to find the perfect music that fits your story. Whether you want soulful ballads or indie vibes that say, “We’re hipster, but like, in a good way,” we’ve got you covered.

Other Honorable Mentions for Your Wedding Soundtrack

“A Thousand Years,” by Christina Perri
Perfect for couples who fell in love during the Twilight era—and aren’t afraid to admit it.
“Shut Up and Dance,” by Walk the Moon
Because your first dance shouldn’t feel like a choreographed hostage situation.
“Can’t Help Falling in Love,” by Elvis Presley
Timeless. Elvis never goes out of style—just like your love (and hopefully your wedding video).
“You Are the Best Thing,” by Ray LaMontagne
Folksy, feel-good vibes for couples who bonded over artisanal coffee and farmer’s markets.
“All of Me,” by John Legend
A classic tearjerker for that first-look moment that even your stoic uncle secretly cried over.

Why Shyah K Films?

There’s a reason couples in Vancouver and across Canada are choosing Shyah K Films for their wedding videography. It’s not just about the fancy camera work (though, let’s be honest, we do have fancy cameras). It’s about the connection we build with you.

Before we ever hit “record,” we make it a point to get to know you—the quirks, the jokes, the things that make your relationship yours. Whether it’s multiple video calls or sneakily observing your coffee order preferences, we go all-in to ensure your wedding video is as unique as your love story.

And let’s be honest: cookie-cutter wedding videos are so last decade. You deserve a film that doesn’t just sit in your Google Drive collecting digital dust. You deserve a keepsake you’ll proudly show your children, your grandchildren, and maybe even your great-grandchildren (though by then, holograms might be a thing).

From Vancouver to Forever

We’re growing rapidly and setting the gold standard for wedding videography not just in Vancouver, but across Canada. Why? Because we prioritize one thing above all: creating videos that make you smile, cry, and want to relive your wedding day over and over.

So, when it’s time to hit “play” on your wedding film, we’ll make sure you’ve got the perfect soundtrack to go with it. After all, at Shyah K Films, we don’t just film weddings—we create stories worth watching for decades to come.

Final Thought

Remember: your wedding video is yours. Whether you want an upbeat anthem, a soulful ballad, or even a quirky tune that reminds you of your first date at the taco truck, the choice is yours. And with Shyah K Films, you’ll have a team that cares just as much about your soundtrack as you do.

So, ready to cue the music? Let’s make some magic together. 🎶
