The Pre Wedding Video: An Extra Not To Be Missed
Posted in Weddings on February 13th, 2011 by Jim – Comments OffWhen planning your wedding you must decide whether to choose a videographer along with your photographer. A videographer is a person who records or films your wonderful event for you to view on any occasion in the future. It is placed on a DVD and can be complete with footage of the cake cutting, first dance and reception interviews. Another kind of video that you can include is pre wedding footage. A pre wedding video is a fairly new trend that couples are opting to have as well for their wedding memorabilia collection.
Couples can choose from a traditional Love Story theme complete with music and baby pictures of the couple growing up. There is also the more modern day interview type style where friends and family are interviewed and the account of how the couple first met is given in various points of view. The final interview can be of the couple and their own account of how they met and the subsequent proposal which can be a nice touch.
The pre wedding video can also include the rehearsal and the rehearsal dinner. This can capture the bride in her “regular” clothes in comparison to what she will look like on film in her bridal gown. Covering the rehearsal dinner can also give the videographer a good chance to capture spontaneous toasts or presentations that the bride and groom might want to present to the wedding party.
For a nice add on touch the bride and groom can opt to have the pre wedding footage played at the reception on a large screen projector. This gives everyone at the reception a chance to really see the behind the scenes preparations and story behind the blessed event.
The pre wedding video is a great chance to really get creative with the love story and history that led up to the wedding itself. It captures many unprompted scenes that the couple wouldn’t normally have footage of but would enjoy reliving again and again.
The most important thing to remember when you are thinking about getting any videos made for such a special occasion is to ensure that you hire a professional video production company to do the work for you. After all you are going to be watching these videos for the rest of your life, so you want to spend that little bit extra to get a finished product that will do justice to your big days.
