First of all, congratulations on your engagement! We hope we can help you remember your special day for years to come.
There are many companies that will offer to tape your wedding. And while we have excellent videographers, what makes us unique is our ability to turn that footage into an entertaining movie that you and your friends and family will want to watch over and over Therefore, our basic package includes much more than other companies. We don't want to just shoot your wedding... we want to interview you about your history as a couple. We want to be there for the excitement and jitters as you get ready. And we want your family and friends to be able to share how they feel about you.
YOUR LOVE STORY:
This chapter will tell the story of your relationship, in your own words, from your first meeting to the proposal and beyond. It will be completed before the wedding so you can show it at your rehearsal dinner and/or wedding reception.
You do not have to prepare a speech! We will interview you before the wedding and piece together a lovely story. We will include video of important places (the site of your first date, where he/she proposed, etc.) if they are local. We will also include pictures of the two of you throughout your courtship. Your favorite music will play in the background. We may also include video of the two of you together, doing something you normally do (We're not fond of staging this. Couples tend to act more naturally if we don't direct them.)
THE BIG DAY ARRIVES:
This is a candid, behind-the-scenes look at the preparations of the bride and groom before the wedding. One videographer will be with the bride, and another with the groom as they get ready. Your voices will introduce the bridal party (we will ask you about them during the initial interview). We will also interview some members of the bridal party that day and include their comments. The bride and groom will wear microphones to catch "morning of..." jitters and joys.
* We will arrive up to 2 hours before the wedding.
THE CEREMONY:
Two videographers will be on hand to capture every moment of the ceremony from different angles. The edited version is up to you, but usually contains the full processional, parts of each reading and all of the vows. Your voices will provide some details like why you chose the site of the wedding. We will shoot exteriors of the wedding location.
THE CELEBRATION:
We strive to make this chapter as fun as the actual party was! It will include highlights of the reception as well as some comments from guests. Two videographers will be on hand to capture different angles during important events (your first dance, the bouquet toss, etc.) And for most of the night, a videographer will interview guests and give them the opportunity to speak directly to you.
* Up to 4 hours. Additional time: $75 per hour per videographer
WELL-WISHERS:
This chapter will include messages guests wanted to give directly to you. It will also include parts of interviews that did not blend with the story. (These often tend to be the most heartwarming since guests are more relaxed and candid when they're just answering questions and not speaking directly into a camera.)
You also get:
* Professional, non-linear editing with various transitions
* A short, attractive animation introducing each chapter
* 4 DVD's featuring an opening animation, several chapters, a menu featuring video highlights and a personalized case.
* We will attend, but not record, the wedding rehearsal to ensure our cameras will be placed properly on the big day.
TOTAL PRICE: $2500
We can also provide these services for you for an additional fee:
* BEFORE WE MET: This is a fun way to see how similar or different you were from your fiance... from childhood all the way up to right before you met! This chapter will contain mostly pictures, but we'll also interview you to find out what you were like as a child, in high school, etc. This light piece will also include music in the background. It can be shown along with "Your Love Story " at the rehearsal dinner and/or wedding reception. $500
* REHEARSAL DINNER: Two cameras will capture the beautiful speeches friends and family make about you, as well as your reaction. $300
* HONEYMOON: Remember your first vacation as a married couple forever! We will interview you about the trip when you get back and include the pictures you took, as well as music. $300
* Extra DVD's: $20/each
