This example
of a VideoServe Wedding Video shows what
can be achieved by using a professional
instead of a family friend to film your
wedding. If you ever thought that a
video is not for you, take a look at our
condensed footage of Mecaler's wedding
to Tony, just one of over 50 weddings
that we film annually, The video starts
at the Bride's house with the
Preparations, which normally take around
30 minutes of filming, before moving on
to the Ceremony.
Exiting the Ceremony venue, we film the
guests relaxing as the Photographs are
taken, then we are at the Reception,
normally filming to the end of the
speeches, or, as in the case of
Mecaler's Wedding, until midnight!
The cost for this type of all day and
night coverage is £1000 plus travel.
Why have a video of your wedding?
Or , if you want one, why hire a
professional?
Many times, as I attend wedding
fayres in my capacity as a Wedding
video company, I hear people as they
walk by my stand saying" we don't
need a video, or we have someone who
can film it for free, or as a
wedding gift.
The average cost of a wedding these
days seems to be around 7-10
thousand pounds, but the next
morning when the couple wake up,
what do they have for their money?
The dress, cars, reception are all
gone, expensive fleeting moments
that cannot be recaptured no matter
how good ones memory is.
So there are the photographs.
Maybe 50 - 100 from the
photographer, and some from the
guests, but what does that tell you
of the day? Mute witness that can
bring nothing of the actual day,
just isolated pockets of the event.
Video, however, brings the day not
just to the Bride and Groom and
their families, but to many who
could not actually attend the day
itself, who can re-live time and
time again the whole event.
I used to look at a Wedding video as
an entity in itself, but over 25
years of film-making has taught me
that what I am recording is a slice
in the life of a collection of
people.
Only after a good few years of
filming have I realised just what an
important thing the video has become
to so many people. For the first
time, our generation will be able to
identify with past members of our
families long after they are gone,
not just as a picture in a frame.
Many letters and telephone
conversations of Brides filmed
decades ago thanking me for the
Wedding video that affter a time
like the photos, was consigned to
the drawer, only to re-surface when
life had taken a way a loved family
member or friend.
Many Brides have used us for their
second weddings, and last year we
had our first Bride who used us for
a third time! While not advocating
that this is the norm, it does show
that out of all the things they did
not want to remind them of the first
time, we were often the only thing
that the Bride insisted on having
the same as before.
So why choose a VideoServe
Wedding Video DVD?
More than 25 years spent recording
family history, and over 2,000
Brides, our highlights have been
many, including the rehearsals for
the wedding of the Duchess of York,
filming Prince Charles and Princess
Diana as well as many of the Royal
Family have given us the ability to
film just about anybody, anywhere.
My son Chris and I have travelled
the world making travel films for
major travel companies.
Most local photographers only
recommend us and you can be assures
of a professional service.
We normally start with the Bridal
preparations at home, then on to the
Ceremony venue, and we are with you
until the cake cutting and the
speeches.
You receive an edited video or DVD
about 60-90 minutes long, edited
with titles and music.
We than extract the best 100 or so
pictures from the video in still
frame and slow-motion, set to music
at the end of the video as a
look-back over the day.
So don't throw away the chance of a
great video record of your day by
leaving the video to a friend or
family member.
Let us make you a video that truly
reflects your greatest day -
Choose Videoserve.
