Truth or Dare Video Booth
We had the privilege of filming Andy and Katie’s Wedding a few weeks ago at the gorgeous Braselton-Stover House. There were A LOT of unique things about their wedding, especially the ceremony. ; some of which I can’t wait to share with you once the editing is done, but in the mean time, I wanted to pass along this creative idea that Katie helped ponder up.
We set up a Video Booth during the reception in which all of the guests could come by and pull a card out of a bag. Each card had a Truth or a Dare written on it and the guest was required to answer/act it out. What resulted was 30 minutes worth (final edit) of hilarity and shenanigans and I can’t wait to show Andy and Katie the whole thing.
But in the meantime, there’s this 5 minute clip of some of the silliness that took place.
Best wishes to Andy and Katie! If this video is any indication, you’ve surrounded yourself with entertaining friends that will always keep a smile on your face.
Wedding Life Expectancy
The other day I was perusing the interwebs when I came across an article that was trying to put a wedding day into perspective. The point was to take each element of a typical wedding and consider the amount of time that specific part takes up in the day and compare it in the grand scheme of things in a lifetime of a marriage. I decided to make a little graphic to illustrate the point:
When you take a step back and look at it, the things that really last from your wedding day are the memories…and I believe that videography is one of the BEST ways to capture and remember those moments.
PS. I also want to draw on the fact that Vows have a lifetime expectancy. The only catch to doing wedding videography for me is that I really don’t want repeat business. I want those memories captured to be just as beautiful 50 years from now as they were on their wedding day. Just as I believe that photography and videography are meant to last a lifetime, I believe that vows are meant to last a lifetime as well. It’s a beautiful thing.
Extra Luggage
We’ve seen a lot of interesting things at weddings over the years. Some funny, some touching, and some just flat out embarrassing. Most of my experiences have led to some form of “Advice for the Couple” that I would pass on as they are preparing for their wedding day.
Thanks to Ben and Rebecca’s wedding I have a new one, and it is this:
Check your luggage BEFORE you leave the premises.
You never know what you may find.
