A wedding day is so much more than the ceremony. So why do so many couples settle for just a video of the walk down the aisle, the vows, etc… shot from a camera stuck on a tripod in the corner of the church, or worse yet, the balcony?

There are many more video options to consider if a marriage is in your future, including a creative and compelling video like this that you can play via a flat screen or projector at your rehearsal dinner, during the gathering time for your reception, and over and over again in your living room in the years ahead.

I had a great time shooting that video with Angie and Bob in Rice Park in St. Paul near the Landmark Center, the site of their wedding in a few months. They really responded to my ideas for the video and I think the end result shows that. They also picked a great song! Thanks, guys!

So, the video options I can do for couples getting married include:

• Pre-wedding – That’s the style of the embedded video above.

• Love story – A three-to-four minute video featuring interviews with the bride and groom, talking about how they met, etc… Shot at the place the met, or where he/she proposed, etc… Again, this is a great one to play at your reception.

• Wedding day – Similar to the video of Angie and Bob above, except the bride and groom are dressed for their big day. I shoot this during the time allotted for photos before and after the ceremony. This also can include friends and family.

• Wedding behind-the-scenes – This includes some of the elements of the “Wedding day” video, but it aims to tell more of the story of the preparations, I roam around from the bride’s dressing room to the guys hanging out together outside the church, etc… All the activity before the bride walks down the aisle. It’s a companion to your “official” wedding ceremony video.

• Post-wedding – I start shooting this video the moment the bride and groom walk out the church door, tag-along on the bar-hopping bus or limo, then capture the arrival at the reception, all the key toasts and dances, and stay at the party until the bride and groom close it down. It’s another companion to your “official” wedding ceremony video.

What do you think? Sound like something you’d like to watch when you’re old and gray? I wish I had all those videos from my wedding day.

Fortunately, your time to capture these memories is now. At an affordable price.
