Wildwood Cinematic - Music Licensing Guide
At Wildwood Cinematic, music is a central part of every wedding film we create. It sets the mood, enhances emotion, and helps tell your story in a way that feels timeless and cinematic.
Why We Use Licensed Music
Australian copyright law is strict - any song you don’t own the rights to cannot legally be used in your wedding film without permission from the rights holder. For popular commercial songs, licensing can cost tens of thousands of dollars and often isn’t feasible for wedding films.
Using unlicensed music on social media or online platforms can result in your film being removed, and in extreme cases, serious legal penalties. We want your wedding film to be shareable and permanent, which is why we use only properly licensed music.
Our Approach
We work exclusively with Musicbed, one of the world’s largest licensed music libraries, full of amazing tracks from independent artists. This allows us to:
Create films that feel intentional, cinematic, and timeless
Choose music that perfectly suits the emotion and personality of your day
Ensure your film can be shared safely with family and friends
How You Can Be Involved
About a month before your wedding, you’ll have access to our Film Selections form, where you can:
Share songs, genres, or moods that inspire you
Suggest a few favourite tracks for inspiration
We’ll use these insights to select the best licensed music for your film. You may discover new tracks that perfectly complement your story, and every time you hear them, they’ll transport you back to your wedding day.
Why This Works
Just like in your favorite films, the soundtrack is designed to enhance the story, not distract from it. Our goal is to create a film that captures the emotion, movement, and atmosphere of your day in a way that feels uniquely yours. Every song we choose is carefully curated to support your story and make your film unforgettable.
