I'm not a videographer, but I work in a library where we often have to consider copyright issues, and I think you should get permission from the couples in the videos.  Since you did this job for them, you probably still have their contact information somewhere, right?  If not, try the phone book or the Ref USA database at your local public library.  Look them up and ask their permission to use the video clips.  That is the most considerate thing to do, because some people might consider their wedding video very private.  Good luck with your business.
