Filming Time
This is your session with a Bigler Productions Master Videographer. This session takes place at either Bigler Productions' Studio (2089 SW River Dr., Portland, OR, 97201), on the Portland Waterfront (near the studio) or at a location of your choosing (additional charges may apply). You and your fiance' will be hooked up for sound and interviewed by the videographer. It is a good idea to rehearse what you want to say before you met with the videographer. With a 15 minute film time you will have enough time to invite your guests (or ask them to save the date) and give a brief introduction of your fiance' and/or how you met. With more film time we are able to add more detail and more elements to your DVD. With a 30 minute session you will have time to do the invite/save the date, give an intro to your fiance' as well as tell the short version of the proposal story. If you want to tell the entire story 60 minutes is the minimum needed to do it justice. Keep in mind that the amount of film time does not necessarily correlate to the final length of your DVD.

Filming Location
Bigler Productions has a backdrop set up in our studio which works well for filming interviews. We are also conveniently located on Portland's beautiful waterfront, which gives a great backdrop for your filming session. If you want to spice up the video you can also pick the filming location. Whether it is at the church where the wedding will take place or at the park where the ring was first placed on your finger, filming on location adds a great perspective to your DVD. On location filming is included with the Premium package within a 50 mile radius of downtown Portland.

Video Invitation (Edited Video)
This is the actual DVD that is included with every package. With a basic package the edited video invite is simply placed on a DVD and plays as soon as you put it in a DVD player. If you purchase a custom DVD menu then the Edited Video Invite will be a menu option on the DVD menu.

Custom DVD Menu
With a custom DVD menu your guests will be able to pick and choose between multiple menu options including the invite itself as well as the following options:

Engagement Story
This interview takes place during your filming session and plays as a separate menu option on your DVD. In your interview each of you will delve into the details of your first meeting, how you fell in love and how he proposed. This fun and often historical sequence allows all your friends and family to learn some of the fun stories that surround your relationship. (Custom DVD menu required)

Photo Montage
A Photo Montage is a collection of your pictures artistically choreographed to the music of your choice. Examples of possible montages include the growing years, the dating years, and the engagement pictures. You pick the music, pictures and the title. This is a great way to share some of the fun times you have had with the rest of your friends and family. (Custom DVD menu required)

Wedding Info Page
This menu page is designed to give your guests all the information they will need for the wedding. The Wedding Info Page includes locations, times, recommended hotels, recommend restaurants and anything else you want to put. (Custom DVD menu required)

Wedding Party Page
This fun addition can take on two forms; it can be individual menu pages for each member of your wedding party consisting of detailed info about the person and how they met the bride and/or groom. It can also take the form of actual video interviews with each wedding party member in which they introduce themselves and tell a fun story about the bride or groom. (Custom DVD menu required)
