The details: from facial expressions to ‘the whole story’
Having your wedding presented on video is so meaningful because it captures all the little details of your big day which only film can reveal.
A huge amount of clients tell us things like - “it was brilliant to see Mum and Dad’s joy throughout the wedding day” and “I actually got to see what everyone was wearing!”.
For the Bride and Groom, who are concentrating on the ceremony, the photos and greeting guests a video is a wonderful way to share with them the wider scope of their day. Video highlights the subtle details like facial expressions, ribbons on the car and of course all the fun and excitement of your special day.
Personally, we at Video Story Geelong love the surprise – and delight – that clients tell us they experience when they watch their wedding video especially for the first time, noticing all the things they may have missed and reliving the romance and excitement of it all over again.
Post wedding: three things remain
If there’s one thing we know, that’s weddings! We’ve been filming them for over ten years and have worked out that when your wonderful day ends and life gradually settles back into a routine there are three things which you have left:
These are:
• Your photos
• Your video
• Your memories
Your photos and video will stand the test of time, but memories can fade.
That’s why it’s so good to have a Video Story video, because as soon as you start watching it, the day will rush back in vivid detail. You’ll remember the details, how special it was, who celebrated it with you and all those things.
Film is a powerful memory trigger and I can tell you firsthand, that when my wife and I sit down to watch our own wedding video, we really enjoy the memories in detail every time we watch it.
Your anniversary, a bottle of wine and your video makes for a lovely night.
The music
A video rekindles memories in great detail, plays the sounds, displays the visuals and, when edited to music that’s meaningful to you, brings out the emotion. Music, a powerful memory trigger, is used advantageously to replay and remind you of the good times.
When you give us a song to feature in your video, we always try to use it in a way that suits your taste. For example, if you select a slow ballad or a pop tune, then we’ll edit your footage accordingly.
Create your own reality TV, for the biggest day in your life
Let’s face it, most people generally watch a lot of TV and movies, Yeah? Why not add your own movie to your personal collection?
When filmed and produced by Video Story Geelong, your video could be like a documentary, romantic comedy or reality TV show all rolled into one with YOUR wedding as the feature!
Some people think that a wedding video rolls on for hours and hours but we just use all the best bits and highlights and edit them into a one to two hour DVD. So, the next time you want to watch a romantic comedy, just think – you could watch your own romance on film instead! Popcorn and all.
A photographer, on their own, provides you with photos and a videographer, on their own, provides you with videos. So, isn’t it natural that you have both there on your special day.
There’s a lot of people who think that if they book a photographer then they don’t need a videographer or vice versa but both services are stand alone packages. We believe both services complement each other and we work well alongside the photographer, whilst always aiming for different points of view, we ensure your photos and video looks unique from each other.
We’re the fly on the wall, we’re ‘behind the scenes’ capturing the action that presents you with all the happenings on your day, we even include the shots of the photographer taking shots of you!!
So if you’re considering a video for your wedding, check out Video Story!
When you work with us, you’ll receive a full length DVD of your wedding (1-2 hours of your day) and also get a 5 minute highlight video, perfect for sharing on Facebook or with guests who were not able to attend.
We work to your preferred style of music and taste and would love to capture your special day for you on film. It’s your special day, about you and about your partner, so why not enjoy it in the years to come with a Video Story Video, capturing memories to last a life time…
