When shopping for a videographer, understanding some terminology can help you make an informed decision for selecting the wedding package to best enhance your special day. Here are some of the more common components that make up a typical wedding video/DVD at H Thompson Videography:

Pre-Ceremony Edits/Wedding Preparations
Possibly the single-most exciting portion of any wedding video is the pre-ceremony. It is more than you, the bride, donning your wedding gown, having your make-up perfectly applied or hair coiffed into an elegant style. Rather, it is a time of intense exhilaration, when your groom, your parents and your attendants share your joy and overwhelming anticipation. H Thompson Videography will capture these moments during your wedding preparations using professional techniques enhanced with effects such as slow motion, soft focus, or black & white, to give this presentation a classy, "cinematic" look.

Wedding Day Cinematic Highlights
Wedding Day Cinematic Highlights is a high quality artistic compilation of your wedding day combined with music and enhanced with elegant special effects such as slow motion and black & white. This presentation is perfect for your friends and family who want to see your special day but don't have enough time to watch the video in its entirety. They will feel as if they have experienced the whole day, without missing a single thing.

Introduction/Childhood Montage
An Introduction/Childhood Montage consists of photographs of you and your groom, from birth to engagement. Using your photographs, H Thompson Videography will customize and transform your memories into a heartwarming story set to your favorite song or songs. This presentation of moving memories is perfect for showing at the rehearsal dinner or at the reception on a big screen.

Love Story
A Love Story is the story that retraces the steps from how you and your groom first met, fell in love and decided to make the most important commitment of your lives. H Thompson Videography records you and your groom, either together or separately, in a surrounding suited to your taste, as you recount the exciting moments you met, what you did on your first date, who kissed whom, and where the proposal took place. The Love Story is well suited to present at the reception and can tell your story to friends and family who may not see you everyday.

Honeymoon Montage
The Honeymoon Montage is a great addition to your video or DVD, because your wedding celebration doesn't end when you leave the reception. Your honeymoon will be filled with joyous moments that you'll capture in photographs. H Thompson Videography will include your honeymoon photographs as part of your wedding video or DVD set to your favorite song. What a great way to remember everything that took place—from your unforgettable Wedding Day to your exciting Honeymoon.
