Adding Video to Your Home Page {business}

 

When we first met Carol Farrar, a real estate agent in San Diego, we were immediately impressed with her personality. Above all, she “got it”! She understood the importance of video for her business. Right away the ideas were flying about how video could improve her business. Soon after, we set to work on her first simple project. Carol has a plan to incorporate video in many aspects of her work, but she first wanted to start with her home page. We created a simple “Welcome” video to be featured front and center to introduce her clients to the features they will find on her site.

Video Birth Announcement – Baby Aurora

 

Sweet, sweet Aurora! Talk about a doll baby. We first sat down with the parents of Aurora during our Baby Wishes Maternity shoot with Melissa McClure Photography.  They were both anxious to meet their baby, you could see it in their eyes. I couldn’t wait to film Aurora as a newborn and was excited to meet her for the first time. Dad was awesome, making sure she was taken care of during the whole shoot. Mom was radiant and beaming from ear to ear. There is no doubt that Aurora will grow up loved!

Ideas for Save the Date Videos

 

The engagement has begun. The venue has been picked. The date has been set. Now it is time to announce the details to your friends and family. Many people choose to send a Save the Date momento to each of their guests. This is especially important if many of your guests live out of town and may need to plan travel. Some couples opt to get creative and make a video Save the Date. You can do this on your own with a video camera and simple editing software. Or you can choose to hire a professional to take care of all the work for you. Either way, here are a few suggestions to get the creative juices flowing.

 

The Engagement

Have a friend film the actual proposal story. Consider clips of picking out a ring, planning the big event and the moments before the proposal. It is fun to see the behind the scenes story that are leading up to the, “yes!” Edit these clips together, add the date to the end and share the moment with the world.

 

The Love Story

Take a more traditional approach and tell your love story. Include detaila of where you met, how it happened and what brought you both together. Perhaps doing a “her story” and “his story” could lead to some funny differences in storytelling. Recreating the events could provide some comedy too. This is a great way to introduce your significant other to wedding guests that may not have met your fiancé.

 

Family and Friends

Sometimes people from the outside of a relationship see a different perspective. You can use this to your advantage by including friends and family in your Save the Date video. Have them tell their version of your love story or engagement story. Or, make a list of questions about your relationship for your parents to answer on camera. Your bridal party can give the top reasons to attend the wedding or consider a lip sync dance video to a favorite song.

 

The key to a good Save the Date video is to let your personality as a couple shine. Your friends and family will enjoy the extra creativity and you will have a keepsake to treasure for years to come.
