these items are included in. Bride Preparation
src="http://whitedove.screencastacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/GOLD1.jpg"
alt="" width="18" height="18" /> We arrive at either the bride’s
house (or the hairdressers) two and a half hours before the
ceremony to capture short sequences of the party being made up and
preparing for the big day. We like to get shots of the bride’s and
bridesmaids’ dresses as well as capturing some video messages. We
will also capture some artistic shots on our professional still
camera which is used on the finished DVD. This is all set to music
of your choice playing in the background. If preferred, we can film
the groom and his party preparing instead of the bride. style="color: #333399;">The Arrivals

alt="" width="18" height="18" /> src="http://whitedove.screencastacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/BRONZE1.jpg"
alt="" width="18" height="18" /> We arrive an hour and a half
before the ceremony to set up the cameras and wireless microphones
to check the light and sound. We then film the set up shots of the
venue – buildings, inside and out. We then film the groom, best man
and ushers and get some comments from them. We film the guests
arriving, both outside and inside the venue, including the groom
nervously awaiting his bride as the time gets nearer. style="color: #333399;">The
Ceremony src="http://whitedove.screencastacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/GOLD1.jpg"
alt="" width="18" height="18" /> src="http://whitedove.screencastacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/SILVER1.jpg"
alt="" width="18" height="18" /> src="http://whitedove.screencastacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/BRONZE1.jpg"
alt="" width="18" height="18" /> We then film the entire
ceremony from the entance of the bride through to the newly-married
couple leaving the venue. We film the celebrations outside,
including the congratulations and, if used, the throwing the
confetti sequence. If the official photo shoot is held at the
venue, we stand back and let the photographer do their work, but we
let the cameras roll so that we capture the posed shots as well as
the informal often missed shots. The
Reception src="http://whitedove.screencastacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/GOLD1.jpg"
alt="" width="18" height="18" /> src="http://whitedove.screencastacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/SILVER1.jpg"
alt="" width="18" height="18" /> We are ready to film the
newlyweds arriving in their car, the photo shoot, and all the
guests having pre wedding breakfast drinks. We also film shots of
the reception venue inside and out, including the beautifully
decorated room where the wedding breakfast will take place. Next is
the Receiving Line, where the bride and groom greet their guests.
Normally, although we capture the entire sequence, we will probaly
only use selected parts on the finished DVD depending on the length
of the line. During this time, if applicable, we will capture some
video messages from guests and parents of the bride and groom.
The Wedding
Breakfast src="http://whitedove.screencastacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/GOLD1.jpg"
alt="" width="18" height="18" /> src="http://whitedove.screencastacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/SILVER1.jpg"
alt="" width="18" height="18" /> We film the grand entrance of
the bride and groom into the room and a small amount of the guests
at their tables. We capture short clips of each table. When the
breakfast is served we stop filming and take a well-earned break.
The
Speeches src="http://whitedove.screencastacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/GOLD1.jpg"
alt="" width="18" height="18" /> src="http://whitedove.screencastacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/SILVER1.jpg"
alt="" width="18" height="18" /> We film the entire speeches to
capture every emotion, every tear and all the laughter. Our
unobtrusive wireless microphones capture every word. After the
speeches, we then film the Cutting of the Wedding Cake ceremony.
Evening
Reception src="http://whitedove.screencastacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/GOLD1.jpg"
alt="" width="18" height="18" /> src="http://whitedove.screencastacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/SILVER1.jpg"
alt="" width="18" height="18" /> During the time between the end
of the wedding breakfast and the start of the eveing reception, we
spend time collecting assorted video messages (if applicable) and
filming the arrival of the evening guests. We then film the First
Dance and continue filming the dancing for the rest of the time
that’s available to us. Wedding
Highlights src="http://whitedove.screencastacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/GOLD1.jpg"

alt="" width="18" height="18" /> This sequence is the part that
you, your parents and friends will want to watch over an over
again. It’s a 4 minute highlight video sequence containing the best
of the best bits of your Wedding set to a song/music of your
choice. We usually recommend the same music as your First Dance
song – but as always, the choice is yours. We load this sequence on
our website so that everyone can see the Wedding Highlights and we
also provide it as a video iPod file that can be downloaded and put
on your iPod, iTouch or iPad. Video
Messages src="http://whitedove.screencastacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/GOLD1.jpg"
alt="" width="18" height="18" /> We capture messages from
parents of the bride and groom, the best man, bridesmaids and other
guests selected by you. These short video sequences have proved to
be one of the highlights of the completed DVDs and are often
emotional, heart-felt and hilarious (especially from the best man,
ushers and bridesmaids). Your DVDs
