The Wedding Video
A Wedding Video DVD, just like still photographs, makes a superb permanent record of the
special day for all who were there, and as a gift for those who couldn't make it. Generally, there will be in excess of two
hours of edited footage which will be spread over two DVDs.
Watch The Birdie offers a standard package priced at £750 which includes:
- the guests arriving at the wedding location
- the bride-to-be arriving
- the wedding ceremony
- the photo session
- the speeches,
- the first dances
- messages from the guests where possible
Extras available to customise the package to fit your exact requirement include:
- Filming the morning preparations at the bride or groom's venue - £100
- Filming the evening reception till midnight (longer can be organised if required) - £100
- A second cameraman to help cover all the action - £200
- Inclusion of your photographs in the DVD - £50
- The very popular Same Day Edit (SDE) - a 10 minute video summary of the day's events, edited in the early
evening and shown 'on the big screen' after the buffet - £200
If you have other features you would like included in the DVD please let us know.

Testimonials:
Here is a short selection of recent testimonials we have received from potential and past customers:
"Steve and I thought we would send you this quick note to let you know how pleased we are with our Watch The Birdie experience.
Right from the start, before the wedding when you came to meet us at the Physicians, we were both very impressed with the level
of attention you paid to the venue and the time you took to ensure that our DVD would be perfect.
On the day itself you were very discreet yet managed to capture everything you needed to. Our guests commented on how
friendly you and your wife were and Steve and I were really pleased to have you there.
We have now received our DVD and we love it. The packaging is great, and the DVD itself is fantastic. The music is perfect
and you have somehow managed to make it really individual for us. I know I may be a bit biased but I have watched many
wedding DVDs and I have not seen one which looks more professional and better presented than ours.
Thanks so much again Geoff, I cannot recommend Watch The Birdie highly enough and we are so chuffed that we chose you to do our
wedding DVD. It is something we will treasure."
Claire & Stephen Probert, Royal College of Physicians wedding, The Balmoral Hotel reception, 25 August 2007
“Geoff, words can't really express how we feel about our wedding DVD. You have captured the most amazing memories of our most special day
which we will be able to look back on forever. The DVD is so professional, creative and personal. It is more than we could have ever
dreamed of.
Our friends and family have laughed, cried and been amazed by your work. They all loved you on the day.
You have truly created a very special memory for us. We especially like the highlights of the day where everything comes together.
I will definitely be telling everyone about you. You obviously have a passion for your work and a real
eye for detail. Thanks for everything.”
Carman and Kevin, Kilconquhar Church Fife wedding, Kilconquhar Castle Estate reception, July 07
“WOW what else can I say!!! Hi Again…I met you at the Edinburgh Wedding Fayre at the weekend.
After sitting down and laughing, crying and clapping through your wedding demo DVD,
I think I have eventually found the perfect videographer.
You spoke about having a short display of the day’s footage played through the buffet at the reception,
and your demo highlights exactly what we are both looking for.”
Jennifer, Stirling, May 07
"Hi Watch The Birdie, Just a wee e-mail to say thanks once again for delivering the DVD last week. Sharon and I thought it was fantastic and
we loved watching our day all over again.
I have noted a few comments below based on our thoughts:
-Geoff was brilliant, we hardly noticed he was there, was very unobtrusive and professional.
-He listened to our ideas before, during and after the wedding, producing a DVD that we will treasure.
-Geoff managed to capture all the memories we had of the day. Nothing was missed out !
-We were delighted with the presentation of the DVD, from the front cover to the way in which it was divided into
chapters.
-Geoff clearly spent a lot of time putting special effects on the DVD which made it more personal to us.
-We loved the news reader part of one of our guests who could talk for fun! The co-ordination of our chosen
music also fitted perfectly with the way in which the DVD was produced.
-We loved the fact that Geoff also looked like he was enjoying himself on our special day. Very enthusiastic in his
approach with a fabulous end product.
Thanks again Geoff, we really did appreciate your efforts and will definitely recommend you to friends and family.
In fact, I'm sure one of our friends may have already have been or will be in touch - I know they've been on your
website and spoken to you at a recent wedding fair."
Sharon and Michael, Wedding/reception at Dynamic Earth, Edinburgh, 07 Apr 07
"Wow.....we knew that the DVD would be good but we were totally blown away by how good it was. It all just flows
seamlessly. We have already watched it at least a dozen times and I am sure we will continue to watch it for years to
come. You have given us the opportunity to look back on the best day of our lives. Just think, we almost decided
not to bother with a videographer. I'm so glad we did and even more glad that we chose Watch The Birdie.
Our family and friends have also commented on the high quality and all agree it is the best wedding DVD they have
seen. We will continue to sing your praises and recommend you to friends, colleagues and family. Once again,
a HUGE thank you from the both of us.
Fiona & David, Wedding/reception at Balgeddie House Hotel, Glenrothes, Apr 07
“Thank you for the DVD’s. It was just super, fab, excellent and out of this world! You guys did an amazing job.
It was so nice to watch back and see what I missed on the day; the footage was so well done and the music choices
were just spot on.
Can’t thank you enough for making our day so unforgettable. …you just fitted in like family and
friends and now we have this wonderful DVD to remember our day. Thanks a million; job very, very well done.”
Ruth and Iain, Ullapool wedding, Inverness reception, 6 Apr 07
“Hi Geoff, Thank you so much for the wedding DVD – Andy and I watched it tonight and
we are over the moon with it. The content was fantastic, and the actual box and DVD covers were
a lovely surprise too! It brought back so many great memories, as well as allowing us to see parts
of our wedding day we had missed!
We have been very impressed with WTB, from the hard work on the day, to sourcing the chosen
tracks for the different sections (especially Azzurro!!) to the end result!”
Gillian and Andy, wedding/reception at McDonald Crutherland House Hotel, 30 Mar 07
