THE MOVIE Chris Wade, The Kent Video Company www.thekentvideocompany.com We’re engaged! Now what? Video production can be a daunting prospect if you’re not used to being in front of the camera, but with our experience, we aim to streamline the process to make it as easy to understand as possible. It all starts with a conversation where we answer as many of your questions as possible during our initial meeting, as well as ask a number of our own. What’s the one question you get most commonly get asked and how do you respond? We’re generally asked about various elements that our couples would like captured in their video. For example, you may want your lovely home featured at the very start or perhaps there’s a certain relative you’d like to make sure is included. We want to make sure your video is perfect, so the more ground we cover, the more we can tailor the requirements before the big day. How can we make our big day totally ‘us’? We like to take the stealthy approach and ensure we’re not stepping on anyone’s toes during the capturing of your big day. We recognise that your day is all about you, so we aim to be as non-invasive as possible and allow you room to breathe. Our process takes us alongside the photographer throughout the day, so we’ll essentially be capturing moving versions of your photos. We then take this footage and deliver a beautiful, slow motion, cinematic highlight reel, along with your ceremony and speeches recorded and delivered separately, in full. What’s your top planning tip when it comes to the wedding video? Have an informal meeting with your videographer at your venue prior to the wedding. You’ll be able to walk around together and scope out what’s happening when and where, as well as ask any further questions you might have. We love walking around the venues’ grounds filming some cinematic shots to weave into our couples’ videos. THE DRESS Hayley Freeman-Revell, Victoria Grace Bridal www.victoriagracebridal.co.uk We’re engaged! Now what? Sit down with your partner and decide what kind of wedding you both want. Write a list of what’s important to you both so you can keep this in mind when you’re planning. What’s the one question you get most commonly get asked and how do you respond? As a bridal shop it’s whether we cater for all shapes and sizes. The answer is yes! One of the most important and rewarding parts of what we do is getting to make every bride feel amazing. How can we make our big day totally ‘us’? It’s so important to plan your wedding around the two of you. Communicate and plan your wedding together making sure it’s full of memories you can share. What’s your top planning tip when it comes to the dress? When you start looking for your gown be sure to do your research. Look at designers and make a list of your favourites. Find shops in and around your area and speak to them, especially if you have any concerns or worries. And finally, don’t leave it too late! Make sure you give yourself enough time to order a gown and have alterations done without it being a rush. Enjoy every moment. WEDDING PLANNING 67
