White Dove Videos are passionate about filming every wedding in a creative, stylish and artistic way. We have been producing wedding videos for some while and our success is based on our customer service. We believe in providing every customer what they want - not what we say they can have, like most other videographers. This means that we strive to give our customers a value for money, quality service as cost-effectively as possible.

Here is a list of items of the day which we film. Next to the title is G(old), S(ilver), or B(ronze) which indicate what package these items are included in.

Bride Preparation (G)
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 bridesmaid's 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.

The Arrivals (G, S, B)
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.

The Ceremony (G, S, B)
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 (G, S)
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 wonderfully 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 sequnce, 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 (G, S)
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 (G, S)
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 (G, S)
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 (G, S, B)
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.

Video Messages (G)
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
Your completed DVD contains expertly edited footage of the entire day and the length depends on the package selected. For the Gold Package, it is normally 2 DVDs (about 2 hours); for the Silver it is normally 2 DVDs (1 and a half hours); and the Bronze package is normally 1 DVD (1 hour). Each DVD contains professionally crafted menus offering a Play All and Scene Selection choices. The bride and groom always receive a luxury professional double DVD presentation case. Each package offers different DVD presentation cases: 3 luxury presentation cases (Gold); 1 luxury presentation case plus 2 standard presentation cases (Silver and Bronze). You can, of course, upgrade these - it is your choice.

Payment
To confirm your booking we require a £150 payment on booking. The balance is due four weeks prior to the wedding day.
