A wedding video is more than a luxury. The day is going to be a blur for you. Wedding videography is the best documentation of your day.  A professional wedding videographer captures everything that happens in your wedding.  It’s not like looking at a picture.  Memories fade.  

After your wedding is all done and your friends and relative’s have gone home, you have your wedding video to relive that special day. You hear the laughter, you see how your parents react to you saying “I do”, you see how your future husband teared up when he saw you walking down the aisle. You hadn’t noticed that. You were too busy trying not to cry and trying not to trip. You watch your friends and family having fun. 

You don’t even remember seeing some of them at your wedding. You see the the flower girl going the wrong way down the aisle. Now you know why you heard laughing while you were waiting nervously in the hall. These memories are precious and once it’s over, it’s over. There is no going back. 

Professional Videographers seem to pricey? 

If you are planning on putting a tripod up at your wedding, here are some things to consider. Full bright sunlight, crying baby, coughing, dark ceremony, lots of beams in the reception hall. Editing itself is an art form both with the video and the audio side (take the hours you filmed and at least triple it for editing). You might not think of this but professional videographers have dealt with these issues and know how to make your wedding video look and hear like you never had any of those obstacles. You are not going to be able to see yourself and your fiancee’s expressions or really hear your voices with one tripod set up in the back of your wedding venue. Wedding videographers not only document your day, but create a wedding video that even strangers would want to watch over and over again. When choosing a professional, ask questions like how many cameras do they use during the ceremony? Do they mike up the pastor and your future husband? Do they charge extra for High Definition filming? 

Watch a wedding video done by a professional wedding videographer and you will see just like wedding photography it is an investment. Oregon is lucky to have such top videographers. We are all striving to perfect our art and story telling and every year we are inspired by what fellow videographers are creating and what we have created. Oregon wedding videographers are in the forefront of recreating what it means to having a wedding film. A wedding video is an heirloom you can show your children or future children, and they can show their children.  We often hear from our brides and grooms that it was the best investment they made on their wedding day.

Why send the same ole invites that everyone else does?  Make your wedding stand out by offering your guests something new and fresh… Custom DVD Invites from Bigler Productions.  What a cool idea!

DVD Invites are a brand new concept to hit the Pacific Northwest. With each DVD Invite or Save the Date you will get a custom made DVD that you insert into your paper invitation. Each DVD starts with a 60 second intro of you and your fiancée personally inviting your guests to attend your wedding. After the intro your guests are taken to your DVD invite menu where they can choose to either watch your engagement story, your photo montage or find out more information on your upcoming wedding.

You have the freedom to create as elaborate a DVD as you would like. You can even get your Wedding Party involved by inviting them to the film session and make a separate section of the DVD just about them. The possibilities are limitlessly fun!

This is so cool – check out samples here.
