  • Wedding Presentation for my bride?

    Posted by Adam Duguay on March 31, 2006 at 5:51 am

    Hello all,

    I know this is a weird request, but I’m sure many people on this forum are married.
    I’m getting married May of this year and I want to do a video presentation for my future wife as a gift. The idea is
    that It would be presented at the reception the night of the wedding.
    Now, I’ve seen many of these done, good and bad. But I want to do something unique. Something really slick.
    But with all of my freelance work and planning of the wedding, I’m finding myself pressed for time. I’m wondering if
    anybody has any thoughts ,ideas ,concepts for how I could do something really nice without allot of time invested.
    All my elements are is photos of us and her, and music. I was thinking of injecting a bit of illustration.

    Fire away, I’m desperate!

    Thanks,

    Adam

    What’s her favourite TV show? I’ve done stuff like this using the music and style of the titles.

    Always gets a good reaction

    One of the most prized possessions my wife claims to have is the video I made for her on our wedding day. I took photos of myself and got a few from her folks to build a collage of our lives up to that day. I used photos of where I had lived, my trials along the way, my insecurities growing up and my favorite things and let friends and family do the voice-over so that it could be viewed as a third person account. I included photos of her from birth up until the day we met and as many of the more embarrassing pictures of myself I could find and made it a point to express how much of a wreck I was before her. The entire thing was about 6, maybe 8 minutes long and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house after it ended.

    The best part was that I made copies for family members that they didn’t see at the wedding that had a copy of quite a few photos and a very brief video of our first dance that went out a month to the day after our wedding. To this day, my wife’s Mom tells me how much she loves that video. It’s sort of clich

    The last wedding video montage we did, we used pictures and video of both the bride and groom from childhood until they were married accompanied with their favorite songs. First her, then him. Then we showed pictures and video of how they met, had their friends record a few words and then showed pictures of them together.

    It proved to be a tearjerker for all at the reception.
