Sounds Abound Wedding Video Services
At Sounds Abound, making a great wedding video is about more than just filming your ceremony and reception. It's about turning your special day into a magical love story that you'll want to watch over and over again.
Titles and Credits
Just like any classic Hollywood love story, you'll want to remember all the lead roles in your movie. We'll create custom titles and credits using your bridal party list.
Childhood / Dating Photo Montage
Photographs are the perfect way to tell the story of your life. Our 50-photo montage includes 25 photos of the bride growing up and 25 photos of the groom growing up, each set to a song of your choice. The 75-photo montage adds an extra 25 photos of your pre-wedding day relationship set to a third piece of music. All montages include customized titles and graphics.
Engagement Session / Love Story
Sounds Abound will film interviews with the bride and groom at a favorite local venue. The interviews will then be set to music and edited into a love story. Watch example video here.
Preparations
A popular way to begin your wedding video is with footage of the bride and/or groom preparing for the big day. Depending on the package you choose, we can film either just the bride at her dressing location, or both the bride and groom at two separate locations. We will film preparations as long as you like, provided we can still arrive at the ceremony location with at least 90 minutes to set up before the ceremony begins. Watch example video here.
The Ceremony
This is the moment that has to be captured just right. We'll arrive 90 minutes ahead of time to set up, test the natural lighting, and confirm the best shooting angles. We will use two cameras: one camera controlled by your videographer, one camera remains stationary for a wider-angle view. Watch example video here.
The Photo Shoot
If you and your bridal party plan to visit a scenic location to take portraits before the reception begins, have us tag along! Heading to downtown Chicago? Let us hitch a ride in your limo / trolley / strech-Hummer so we don't miss a moment of the fun. Watch example video here.
The Reception
From cocktail hour mingling to the bridal party introductions, from toasts and blessings to cutting the cake, from your first dance to cutting loose with your entire family and your friends, we're there to capture it all. We work in constant communication with your Sounds Abound DJ and your photographer to make sure every special moment is captured perfectly. We will continue filming the party as long as you want up until midnight, at which time overtime charges will apply. Watch example video here.
Ceremony highlights Presented During Reception
This one is sure to blow away your guests. Once we finish filming your ceremony, we'll immediately begin editing them into a short 5-minute ceremony highlight video. We will then present this movie during your reception. We'll provide a huge screen so all your guests can easily watch and relive the moment together. If you choose to have us make your Childhood / Dating Montage, we can add the ceremony highlight video to the end and show them both as one 12-minute video.
Highlights
Every wedding video package includes this artistic presentation highlighting the most special moments from your wedding day edited into a short 5-7 minute video. We can post this highlight video online in a password-secured location (not on YouTube) for your friends and family (and no unwanted visitors) to see. We can also convert your highlight video so you can carry it with you on your Apple iPod or iPhone. (Please note: we're not affiliated with Apple in any way, we just love their products!)
30-Minute Edit
Sometimes, you want to watch more than just the highlights, but you don't feel like watching the whole finished DVD. We can create a 30-minute edit of your wedding day on a separate DVD, perfectly sized for those with a sitcom-length attention span. (We promise, no commercials.)
Honeymoon Photo Montage
Take your camera with you on your honeymoon, and we'll use your shots to add the perfect ending to your wedding video. Provide us with up to 50 photos and up to two songs, and we'll do the rest. Please note, adding a honeymoon photo montage will push back the date of receiving your final video to 30 days from when we receive your honeymoon photos.
30-Day Turnaround
We've got your montage photos. You've given us song choices. We've got hours of raw footage from your wedding day. How long should you be expected to wait to receive your finished product? You will have the finished DVDs and/or Blu-Rays in your hands in 30 days or less.
