Graham Vedmore DVD Production. A stills photographer in the 1970s Graham Vedmore returned to the wedding business to find the standards of production and quality at a low ebb so he went to college to study film editing and gained a Certificate in Film and Video Production.

Most wedding videos are mere run throughs with just a few edit points here or there to make them a tad more interesting. There are hundreds of low quality operators on the market producing videos that will never be watched more than once. That's the downside.  Our Philosophy is that we are willing to spend whatever time is required to produce a movie that you can watch over and over again. 

How long is that?  On average about twenty hours! Our unique selling proposition is that we will take the features of your wedding, colours, style and images, and cleverly customise these into the fabric of your movie.  As far as we know nobody else does this! Our clients have been kind enough to say nice things about our work.  We keep things back!  If we showed you all of our new ideas and different contents we would be limiting ourselves and that would never do! When you look back on a disc that we made for you, you will be looking back on a super day in which people with a love for the job did their very best to supply you with a quality product and support. If your date is free we would be delighted to bring you the best in wedding video. Graham Vedmore (Certificate in TV and Video production)

What's the difference between yours and anybody else's?
The main difference is in the editing.  We are prepared to spend a lot more time on this, you will see the difference looking at the sample DVD.  The cameras we use are Professional Panasonic broadcast quality, no compromise.  

What am I getting for my money?
A movie, not a straight run through, we want you to watch this DVD over and over again.  A DVD contains one hour of footage. Using contemporary methods of editing we trim several hours of footage into a watchable form.  If you wish, we can come out to your home and show you a complete wedding DVD to see how it might be structured and also to discuss your requirements.

When my DVDs come how will they play?
In chapters.  You can show the cameo which is about five minutes set to music.  The pre-ceremony and service, the reception and the speeches, easy to navigate, easy to watch.

What is the difference between the packages?
They're all good, we go the extra mile for you.  The basic has coverage at the ceremony and reception.  The deluxe has a visit to the brides house (usually by a lady), the ceremony, reception, cameo and requests. The Super deluxe has all of these including two videographers at the ceremony plus guest interviews,  presented in a double DVD case.

How many copies do I get?
Your DVD will come in a presentation case, white leatherette lined with velvet.

Extra copies are relatively inexpensive. Each cased copy comes with an institute of Videographers copyright holographic sticker attached to the case.

You can choose to have additional copies in leatherette or jewel cases.

What happens then?
After the wedding we will edit the footage ..... this takes a few days sometimes weeks of hard work.  We then bring it to you on a portable DVD player for review (usually with the family around).    This is your chance to have any changes made!   Speak now or forever hold your peace.   If you are happy with the result,  we will burn the discs.

When will the DVDs be ready?
As soon as possible after the wedding.  We want our computer back!

Can I buy a copy of the entire footage?
Yes you can and we do get this request occasionally.  You  can have it on mini DV or super VHS.  Beware!  It may have time code breaks, zooms, flaws, under exposures and even the occasional swear word.  The whole idea of editing is to present a story without these things but some people like to have a crack at editing themselves.  We have to charge for this service to cover wear and tear on the equipment and time spent uploading.

Do you do VHS?
No, nor cave painting, sketching, doodling or underwater stuff.

What if the Vicar says he won't allow video?
Go back to him and ask if he'll allow us to film the walk down the aisle and the register?  If he says yes then we will film a little ‘mock up' service using trick videography and slot it in between the walk down the aisle and the register or we will take stills and make a slideshow chapter.  If he won't allow any video we're up the creek without a paddle.

What about music?
Choose what music you like… but give it to us un good time
