This year for me is packed with weddings. When you get past 30 it seems like all your friends are getting married or having babies. I am not complaining though because it means I get to share these magical moments with them and there is nothing more beautiful than sharing in the happiness of those you love. This year me and the Mr have three amazing weddings to attend and I am so excited to see what they will be like, One of the things that I find amazing about weddings is how much variation there is now in being able to record the day. I am going to share my top 5 favourite ways to capture the day.
Video
Wedding videos have come so far form the days where a wobbly camera just about managed to capture the bride and groom kiss, In fact it has become a huge business for some people it was even something that I dabbled with myself. Having a video that you can watch of the magical day is something you can watch on anniversaries or share with your children for years to come. Why just enjoy the wedding once when you can watch it over and over.
Photographer
I have seen some beautiful pictures from weddings in fact I remember being a little girl being a bridesmaid at aunts weddings having to pose in pretty botanical gardens or outside churches. What better time to have a photo of you and the one you love than you are looking amazing and dressed up. Some photographers even offer a video and photography package together or you may even have a talented friend who will come and record your day in all kinds of magical ways. Finding a photographer that listens to you and captures the best pictures of you is vital though so take the time to meet up with them, see their previous work and talk about the style of photography you want captured on the day.
Guest pictures
Technology has come so far now and with the increase in camera phones everyone is a budding photographer, Some of the most natural shots are captured by your guests.There are lots of ways you can encourage this on your big day, There are apps you can get your guests to upload all the pictures to so you have them all in one place like Wed Pics. I love it when weddings go old school leaving polaroid or disposable cameras on the guest dining tables where they can take lots of pictures of each other and the bride and groom. Chances are you will be so busy on the day that you will miss lots of moments but with camera you can catch them later.
Photo Booth
One of my favourite additions to weddings or any event is the photo booth. Have you ever seen grandma rocking out on a blow up guitar or your brother with a chicken head? Now is your chance, A great way for your guests to leave you soe funny photos or even have a momento of the day for themselves. Some photographers will bring a photo booth for you but if you are going without a photographer and want your own photo booth then you can rent one like in the video below from places like OMG entertainment.
Guest books
A fantastic way to remember your wedding is to have a guest book where all the people you love can leave you messages. There are so many creative ways that you can do a guest book now from typewriters, video messages, signing records or cards Pinterest is full of new ways just being added every day.
Can you think of any other ways to remember your wedding day?
