For better or for worse, a newlywed couple is stuck with a cringy, grainy, shaky wedding video.
Brooke Covey, 23, from Nashville, is going viral on TikTok for claiming she and her husband, Caleb, 23, were “scammed” by their wedding videographer who allegedly underdelivered on his promise of 4K results and a $1,000 price tag.
“He told me it was 4K. There’s not even 400 pixels on it,” Covey declared in her four-minute TikTok, as she stood in front of a TV playing the wedding video.
“He told me [it was] the best quality he’s ever done [and] he put in 30 hours of editing, so I just want to see if I’m crazy and what everybody else thinks.”
More than 1.7 million people have seen the clip in which Covey’s “five-hour” rehearsal dinner seemingly didn’t even get 30 seconds in the final video.
Instead, the unidentified videographer dove right into the ceremony, placing an effect on the wedding party that showed them walking down the aisle before suddenly disappearing like “Casper the Ghost,” Covey complained.
The shutterbug also opted to superimpose a “Brooke & Caleb” banner in the lefthand corner of the video that remained onscreen for its entirety.
The wobbly camera captured Covey’s “hubby in his four pixels” walking down the aisle. To make things worse, the videographer selected a memorably upbeat song to place on top of the special, once-in-a-lifetime moment of the bride’s arrival.
“What the f–k is this?” a frustrated Covey reacted to the scene.
“The audio doesn’t match,” she proclaimed as the pair exchanged vows. “What we’re saying has nothing to do with our mouths moving. He didn’t even mic us.”
“He said the only reason it would be $1,000 is if he mic’d us. And he didn’t even mic us and ended up charging us $1,200,” Covey claimed.
She alleged the videographer included footage of her tripping down the aisle; captured the couple’s first dance from too far away with awful quality; and kept evidence of them redoing their sparkler send-off to satisfy the request from the photographer.
Covey stated that the videographer was unapologetic when she expressed her displeasure with his final product.
“He said that this is the best work he’s done, he spent 30 hours editing this, he put a lot of work into this, he’s never had a complaint, and so, he doesn’t feel as if it’s as bad as we say it is,” she claimed.
Over 11,300 people commented on the TikTok — an overwhelming number of them siding with the bride.
“The writing at the top looks like a clip from ‘Teen Mom,'” one wrote, with others also comparing the graphic banner to the MTV show.
“30 hours trying to figure out how to put the banner in the video,” someone said.
“The editing of this tiktok is higher quality than that wedding video,” another declared.
“Looks like he accidentally gave you the outtakes lmao,” someone else added.
Others wondered what kind of camera the videographer used.
“It looks like security camera footage!” one person proclaimed.
“Did he use a RING camera?” another laughed.
“This looks like my dad filming with our $50 camera circa 1996,” one stated.
“My parents wedding video looks like this, it was thirteen years ago. It was also done by her uncle…,” someone said.
The Post has contacted Covey for comment.
