Wedit Helps Newlyweds Capture Their Wedding Day Through the Lens of Family and Friends
Detroit-based business replaces traditional wedding video with candid, guest-generated footage
DETROIT, Nov. 3, 2010 /PRNewswire/ --Wedit (http://www.wedit.com) is helping couples celebrate "their big day" for a lifetime by providing an affordable, fun and easy way to capture, edit and share all of their wedding memories through digital video.
Through the service, Wedit loans five high-definition video cameras to wedding couples to allow their guests to film the wedding and reception, giving newlyweds a glimpse of their special day through the eyes of their friends and family. Guests can capture candid and fun moments that a professional videographer would not be able to obtain at a fraction of the cost.
After the wedding, the couple simply returns the cameras to Wedit in a postage-paid box, where the videos are uploaded to their own personal video-sharing website. The easy-to-use drag and drop editing tools give newlyweds the option of editing their own videos or having Wedit professionally design a video complete with a variety of digital elements including music.
Sharing memories with family and friends is simple, whether they communicate online or prefer a more traditional method. Through Wedit's one-click social media feature, couples can share their creation via Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and more. In addition, five free DVDs are included to share with friends and family who do not connect online.
"Couples often splurge to create a day that is absolutely perfect and unique. However, when it comes to capturing the memory of that day on video, they typically pass - scared away by decades of cheesy wedding videos," said Brett DeMarrais, CEO of Wedit. "Wedit gives couples the opportunity to relive their day through the lens of family and friends, seeing the candid moments that made their wedding special to them and all of their guests."
Video packages range from $499 to $749 and come with a one-year unlimited video and photo hosting guarantee, giving guests the opportunity to upload their own photos and video from the wedding at no extra cost. Each package comes with online support and backup, giving the couple peace of mind that their memories are safe.
Wedit's launch was made possible by Bizdom U, a non-profit, entrepreneur boot camp founded by Dan Gilbert, Founder and Chairman of Quicken Loans. Bizdom U continues to fund Wedit in addition to a number of other Detroit-based startup businesses.
