Wedding Videos

After the wedding day is over and all of the images have been edited, I start assembling a collection of photos from throughout the day - Getting Ready, Ceremony, Formals and Reception - into a highlight reel.  I then notify my clients and schedule a Premiere Night.  We roll out the virtual red carpet, put out some snacks and refreshments and view their video.  While we don't do wedding videography here (see the Bride's Room for recommendations), this slideshow of images isn't a boring view by any means.

Let's take a look at Brittany and Shaun's Chicago Wedding in Grant Park as an example:

Spending the day with this lovely couple, I got to know them fairly well.  I knew that the fast paced, Indie rock soundtrack would be a good fit.

These wedding videos come with the Digital Deluxe Package in DVD format and is packaged along with the disc of images of the wedding.  Friends and family will get to view this video on the web and share it onto Facebook no matter what wedding packaged is purchased.

This same style of video is available to my engagement clients as well.  Not only does the engagement photography look great displayed at the reception, the couple is more at ease in front of the camera come time for the wedding as well as knowing the process of how all this works - editing, Premiere Night, etc.

Let's take a look at my Northwest Indiana and Chicago engagement photography highlight video:

I'm just beginning to stock up the Region Weddings You Tube Channel so you can have one place to check out many different wedding videos that I have made for clients.  We have a handful uploaded now for viewing.

Your Wedding Photos on Your iPhone, iPad or Android Smartphone

Many prospective wedding couples ask me if they get their wedding photos on a disc.  Yes, we deliver digital images on a disc.  However, we also have something even cooler.  Your very own Mobile App of Wedding Photos for iPhone, iPad and select Android smartphones.

Having a wedding album is terrific and in my mind a must have.  However, it's not something you will have with you at all times.  Imagine going to the salon and having the stylists ask you about your wedding.  Well, you can pull out your iPhone and show them on the spot.  Better yet, you can share with them within the app by sending the link out so they can download your very own wedding photo app for themselves!!  Sharing the App is free and does NOT require an App Store of any kind.

All of my 2012 wedding clients will be receiving a standard version of their very own wedding photo app.  This standard version will be a dozen images selected by me.  The premium version will have 24 images selected by the bride and groom for a one time fee of $19.99.  It can then be shared for no additional charge to as many people as you would like.

NOTE: Use your Mobile Browser for the following sample Apps.  For fastest download use a wi-fi connection.

Wedding Client Mobile Apps for iPhone, iPad and Android

Today I'm introducing an awesome new add on to my wedding packages - wedding client mobile apps for iPhone, iPad and select Android devices.  Starting in 2012, all wedding clients who book the Digital or Digital Plus packages will receive their very own App in a lite version for no extra charge.  All clients who book a Digital Deluxe package will receive their very own app in a premium version for no extra charge.

Mobile App Lite Version: 1/2 dozen images chosen by me, ability to share the App with friends, one touch contact me button and a direct link to Region Weddings.

Premium Version: 25 images chosen by client, ability to share the App with friends, one touch contact me button and a direct link to Region Weddings.

This Premium Version will be available for purchase to any client for $19.99.  Buy the App once and share with as many friends as you'd like.  In other words, one purchase for all who want the App.

FAQ:

Q. Do I need to go to the App Store to download the Apps?

A. No.  All Apps will be downloadable via a link on the web.  See instructions below.

Q. Do the Apps work on Android?

A. Yes.  However, Android has many different versions, sizes and manufacturers.  I suggest you download the free Region Weddings App or a lite version first before purchasing a Premium App. 

Q. Will the App work on the iPad?

A. Yes, it is especially designed for iPhone and iPad.

Q. My mom, my brother, my 200 Facebook friends and my Aunt Millie want the Premium version.   Do they all need to make a purchase?

A. No.  You buy the App once and it can be sent to your friends right from within the App itself.  No limit as to how many of your friends can download YOUR MOBILE APP for free.

Q. Can I run the App while off line?

A. Yes, after it downloads choose 'yes' to "add storage to your device" when this pops up.
