Story ideas:

• Most wedding packages cover the ceremony, portrait shots of the bridal party, and a limited amount of the preparation. What about all the photos of your rehearsal dinner, the day’s preparations from the bride and groom’s perspective, the photos of guests at your reception, and of course the honeymoon? A Story Weavers production can incorporate all your photographs and video of the event, not just the moment, to tell a story that your kids and grandkids will enjoy. If you would like to include the “official” photographs in your DVD, don’t forget to negotiate copyright permission with your photographer.
   
• Here’s an option for the best man who’s stuck for ideas for his speech. Surprise the bride and groom with a photo DVD telling the story of their courtship. Collaborate with other members of the bridal party as well as the parents of the bride and groom to find photographs of the couple when they were growing up, through to when they first met and announced their engagement for a presentation set to “their” song that is bound to get a reaction from the entire reception. Check with the reception venue for access to the equipment you will need to display the presentation on the night.
   
• Looking for an invitation with a difference? A stunning photo DVD doesn’t have to be kept under wraps until the big day – consider sending your engagement or wedding invitations on DVD too. With room for far more information than you could ever fit in a standard envelope, a DVD invitation will instantly grab attention and provide the means for sharing a broad range of information with guests including directions, accommodation options for interstate guests, parking, gift lists and more.
