This video is sent to your friends and family as a way to inform them of the upcoming wedding and to give them enough notice to plan for the event. It can be creative, fun and personal video that showcase your personalities, love story and the wedding theme.

Relive your wedding toasts through a thoughtful, emotional and fun film which features each of the meaningful wedding toasts that were given during your wedding reception.

Raw footage is the high definition images/videos of your wedding – uncut and unedited. It is everything that we capture during the entire wedding day. All the cards will be transferred to an external hard drive and you will be able to watch the files by clicking on each of them individually. The files won’t be organized on a sequence, so you will need to click on them in order to watch the videos.

Reading letters is a great way to give yourself a few quiet moments to focus on this sweet note from your loved one.
Reading letters is a popular option for couples who want to add a personal moment to their videos. If you want to have us record audio and video of you reading a letter from your fiancé as you get ready, we can! If that doesn’t sound like something you’d want to do, that’s fine too.
