Behind every great wedding video is an equally worthy soundtrack. While steady shots and smooth transitions give videos a professional look, nothing connects the imagery to the audience like an inspiring song. In the wedding genre, the task of finding new songs and crafting compelling videos to wow your clients and fill your reel time and again can feel daunting. Luckily, we do have tools that make it easier.
One of the best tools we’ve found for simplifying the song selection process and amplifying our storytelling for the Lin & Jirsa Photography cinema team is our subscription with Epidemic Sound. The Epidemic Sound catalog houses over 30,000 professionally produced tracks and over 90,000+ sound effects, all of which are cleared for YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitch and podcasts. This means we can publish our videos without having to worry about getting copyright strikes or other claims, which is another reason we use it for SLR Lounge videos as well. Even if we were to cancel our subscription, our uploaded content would remain cleared and monetized forever.

Helpful Features on Epidemic Sound
Navigating such a massive music library of songs and sounds could easily prove stressful, but Epidemic Sound has designed their site to make it easy to find what we need. Here’s a quick look at a few of our favorite features when using Epidemic Sound to curate a playlist of great royalty-free wedding video songs for same-day edits, highlight videos, and “documentary” wedding videos.
Curated Playlists
One of the ways Epidemic Sound makes it easy to navigate such a sizable collection is with helpful playlists, which their team curates in-house. The playlists are built around musical genres, moods, and themes, such as Sports & Action, Travel, Weddings & Romance, and more. You can further customize these playlists with a wide range of filters.
As a bonus, if you have a channel associated with your Epidemic Sound account, you’ll also find a personalized list of recommendations based on previous tracks you’ve downloaded and used in your videos.
The “Find Similar” Button
To save more time, you can use the “Find Similar” button included with each track to quickly locate other tracks with the same mood, beats per minute, genre & vibe of the song you’re listening to. This comes in handy for our wedding videos when we’ve dialed in a potential style or sound that we like but we want to explore other options.
Stem Tracks
Sometimes, it’s nice to strip down the elements of a song and highlight a specific instrument with an isolated stem track. Having the ability to use stem tracks adds another layer of creative control for crafting unique wedding video songs that work in tandem with the visuals we’ve created.
Similarly, many tracks that feature vocals also offer an instrumental version, providing yet another means of fine-tuning our soundtrack.
