Free Wedding Videos

John1980, 29 August, 2009 at 15:21 Posted on Planning 0 22

Hi everyone, I’m just going into the wedding video business and am looking for experience and exposure and so I’m offering to do the full day free of charge Smiley smile all I ask in return is that when you get the finished DVD you give me honest feedback so I can improve.

I have 5 years experience working with videos and will be using a hi def camera to capture .everything

Even if you’ve got another videographer booked I would still love the chance to offer you an additional recording and of course improve at this.

My aim is to gain the experience and get some samples of what I’m doing so that I can then launch this as a career for myself.

At the moment I can only do this in Portsmouth and surrounding areas.

Thanks everyone and feel free to ask anything you would like to know Smiley smile

John

    Leeds is a bit far, but if you cover my travel and a B+B we might be able to come to an agreement

    Hi I am in Southampton and would love the opportunity as this is something my budget could not stretch to, the only thing is my wedding is in July 2010 and it is on a Friday? Is that any good?

    Well, mrsdrc seems you've done quite a bit. Tbh I have just about finished, I've got church, venue, tog, cars, flowers all booked and ordered, bm and my dress ordered, rings ordered, OH suit bought and mobile hair and make up girls booked, cake is going to be from M & s and i will decorate it myself and I know what pressies I'll be buying (in the sales!) for all those people helping. I know what favours we are having, so will order those next year.....I actually can't think of anything else that I need to do.......have I left anything out?

    BTW John, sorry to crash your thread!

    OMG - I really need to pull my finger out! You seem to have everything covered. I think our main problem is we can't decide on a colour theme so we can't start on so many things until thats decided

    Sorry for crashing John ?

    Tbh mrsdrc, I have said to OH from the beginning that I was not going to get stressed with all the planning and was not going to get caught up in the details, like everything having to match etc. My colour scheme is Aubergine purple, yellow and ivory and this was decided purely because purple is my fav colour! Also, as we are both teachers we agreed we didn't want to have loads to do at weekends during term time because we need to focus on school so that would only leave school holidays and we won't want to have xmas hols being too busy and Easter hols is too close to the wedding day to be arranging stuff.......soooooo I really needed to get it all done this summer hols.

    Sorry for that being an essay! You got any ideas for a colour scheme?

    Richmond is possible but as i'm getting requests from further afield then expected i have to adjust and add the video production will be free but travel expenses will need to be covered
