Post wedding videographer question/concern

I would wait until closer to the 8 weeks. I would be upset too - but - we don't know the logistics of the other weddings - maybe they were shorter and the videos were easier to make? Maybe each employee is given a video to work on and some employees are quicker than yours? Who knows - all very situational. But for sure, your feelings are valid!! I'm sure your wedding was still beautiful and best part, you got to marry your best friend!

I don't know if this will ease your worries or not, but here it goes:

My husband is a wedding videographer (cinematographer, really). I admit he's a bit of a James Cameron type - a little bit wacky artist.

Sometimes, a particular wedding "vibes" with him better, and editing comes easier. It isn't necessarily that it's a better wedding. He had one wedding that was in the groom's backyard with an iPad for a DJ and catered by the local grocery store, certainly not some platinum black tie event (and it wasn't some raging party, either), but it so happened the fence surrounding the backyard had bright hand-painted murals the groom did himself - something about that just vibed with my husband, and he had that film edited in a week because he was just glued to the screen and couldn't walk away from it. That's just one example I can think of, but there certainly were others - a microwedding that had a 7-minute ceremony also comes to mind. Again, nothing "Instagram worthy" about this wedding, but it just clicked for him. Conversely, he's had some knockout $75k weddings that took every minute of 8 weeks to edit because nothing sparked.

You know when you read a book and you just can't put it down? And other times, you struggle through it, not because it isn't a good book - all your friends raved about it - but just because it isn't clicking for you for some reason?

Artists can be odd. There may have simply been something in that other wedding that struck them and editing it came easier. That doesn't mean that wedding was better than yours!

Be patient and don't stress! They have a big job - creating a video that you will love, and hopefully watch together when you're 80 years old with your grandkiddies on your lap. They just want to make sure it's perfect, and sometimes that takes a little more work.
