What is a 'Love Story' Video?
The name of this service is pretty ambiguous, but that was intentional as the video can be a lot of different things! The general concept is we will get together before your wedding and film some material and then we will put together a video! Simple enough, but there are a few different options for what we can shoot and how the final film will be used!
The typical set-up would be a shoot where we film you at your home engaging in ‘normal’ life, another location where we can capture some romantic footage and then finally we can film an interview where you two can discuss how you met, your future plans, first date, funny moments, and just be cute together! We can use that audio to string together the videoshoot footage and create a really sweet keepsake that will encapsulate your relationship leading up to your big day! But we don’t have to do all that, we could just film the romantic videoshoot and edit it to a special song of your choice, with no dialogue! It is totally up to you!
You also have a lot of freedom to decide how you’d like to use the video. You can use it as a way to make your engagement announcement or a great pairing for your photo engagement shoot. Another great option is to use the ‘Love Story’ video during your reception as an additional piece of entertainment for your guests! I personally feel a well crafted video sharing the story of your love is extremely engaging and enjoyable to watch. I will guarantee every single person there will love the video, well, not really, but I do feel very confident ;)!
In my opinion this video has far more value than something like a Same Day Edit. It serves the same purpose, which is to entertain guests with video content during the reception. But a Same Day Edit is a rushed video made during the reception, and looses all value after the Wedding Film has been edited. It is a mini-wedding film which contains material only up to the reception. Once the proper edit is complete why would you ever watch the rushed film which only shows half the day? People do see some value in it and that’s great, but I don’t offer it as a service because I have not yet been convinced of it’s benefits! I think the pre-wedding ‘Love Story’ video meets all the same general needs but offers far more value!
