The Art of Wedding Videography is subjective by nature. Familiarizing yourself with a videographer’s style of filming and editing will help insure that your videography needs are closely matched to the product you desire and the product you will receive.

 

At Royal Sun Productions, we capture the beauty and details of your wedding day as they naturally unfold. This style is usually referred to as “documentary”. Your DVD will begin with a customized menu displaying a scene from your wedding day. This screen shot will display the name of bride and groom and the wedding date. We also include brief moving highlights of the day in the center or off to one side of the screen, as soft music plays in the background. The DVD menu stays on this screen and the highlights repeat until a selection is made to play all scenes from the beginning, or to view specific scenes individually. This is similar to playing a DVD movie from the beginning or choosing chapters instead. Most videographers do not provide customized DVD menus. We feel they are unique, functional, and provide an important personalized touch to your wedding video. They also may capture small details that you have so carefully chosen, such as guest favors or ceremony programs. It’s also convenient to select favorite events of the day to share with friends or family without playing the entire video. Visit our sample tab to view the unique variety of DVD menus we have created from ceremony sites, reception venues, cake tables, sand ceremony vases, and photo frames!

Filming in High Definition

When your video begins, we present footage captured from your wedding venue before the start of the ceremony… the outside environment, the altar or church if applicable, and scenes from inside the reception room such as the lovely table centerpieces or settings. The wedding date and names of bride and groom are displayed as the original music you chose to play prior to the ceremony is audible in the background. Visit our sample tab to view personalized pre-ceremony scenes.

 

The pre-ceremony footage flows directly into the bridal party procession. We never cut or edit out any portions of your ceremony! You will be able to see your ENTIRE wedding ceremony from start to finish, with wide angles and close-ups  from the front and the back of the ceremony. At least two HD video cameras are used to provide a smooth and complete filming effect. Most couples contact us after viewing their wedding DVD for the first time, and they are delighted to see every detail of every moment captured on film from angles that they did not see at the time. We also do not cover the ceremony audio with stock or copyrighted music. We provide the ORIGINAL AUDIO obtained at your ceremony. Whether you chose a harpist or string quartet, the music will be captured on tape just as it played during your actual ceremony if applicable. Visit our sample tab to view our style of ceremony filming. 

 

The next portion of your DVD would be the reception if you have chosen to film these wonderfully fun and happy moments!  Each traditional event is captured and presented uncut as it occurred. You will view your entire grand entrance as the DJ announces you and your spouse for the first time! Again, we always film with two HD cameras to provide complete and clear footage. You will view your entire first dance, the toasts, cake cutting, and other traditional events depending on the length of time you have chosen for us to film. It’s truly wonderful to see parent dances in full length, the bouquet and garter toss from start to finish, and clips of your family and friends dancing and laughing and enjoying the event that you so carefully planned. We also show guest interviews during this time if you have chosen for us to do so, which can be very entertaining as well as touching! As in the ceremony portion of your DVD, we use original audio obtained from the reception. When original audio is used, this provides a more authentic feeling of “being there again” because it is the actual  sound and music of the wedding day. Visit our sample tab to view reception and guest interview clips.

 

Your wedding DVD ends by fading the last scenes of the reception into brief wedding day highlights. Your special first dance song will start as short clips from the day recap everything. The clips are shown in vintage black and white and then burst into a full color still shot that is really breathtaking. The last clip fades to customized credits of your bridal party, listing each person’s name and role, similar to the ending credits of a movie. Visit our sample tab to view the beautiful wedding day highlights and customized bridal party credits that we have created. 

 

At Royal Sun Productions, we will provide you with a complete, personalized, and beautiful recording of your most special day! To request more samples of our work or to set up a free consultation, please contact us.
