Our latest Wedding Photo of the day is from Allure Films. This is a fantastic wedding photo using natural window light. I love this image, it's one of my all time favorites and I've seen a lot of photography doing this job. Go check out more of Allure Films' photography work. They also do wedding videos.
Heather Waraksa from Brooklyn, NY does some gorgeous work! I just fell in love with the wedding of Deb and Andrew. Check more wedding photos out at Hearther's blog!
I have been thinking about this for quite a while. I have been surfing photographer's blogs for quite a while now, seeing some incredible stuff. Well I'm going to start recognizing some of my favorite images I find on the web with Wedding Photo of the Day.
Our inaugural Wedding Photo of the Day comes from photographer Becker a wedding photographer from Orange County, California. This is from the first dance during a New Years Eve wedding.
Weddings are a big day for us women. Many of us have dreamed about the event since we could first pick up a Barbie Doll and have Ken carry her over the threshold of our Barbie house. I have a hope chest I stuck ideas and clippings in during my teenage years stashed somewhere in the house. Those are going to be some out of date ideas when I finally need them.
But what about our hapless groom. As a friend of mine says, he doesn't start thinking about it till the day he puts the ring on our fingers and then tries not think of it as much as possible. I never knew that my friend was basically pirating that saying till today when I found a old CD he'd given me a few years ago. Not Your Day... A Grooms Guide To The Most Important Day of Her Life by Rex Havens. I don't know why I had never listened to it till today but puttering around the house getting ready for Christmas I decided to put it in the stereo and listen. I must say, it's hilarious! You can see and hear a few of the jokes from the CD at Rex Havens' website. Apparently he's let the CD go out of print, I couldn't find it anywhere. But he has a new one that looks just as funny:Everything I Needed To Know, I Learned From My Wife. If you get a chance check out the clips, they are very clean and oh so true. And maybe if enough express interest he'll sell the album on iTunes. It would make a great present to all the grooms out there.
I am excited to announce the newest feature to help you with planning your wedding reception, here at BridalFilms.net: Wedding Grooves!
Are you having trouble deciding on what song will be your first dance song? Don't know what to dance with your father to? Stumped on that special song for Mom? Then Wedding Grooves is what you want to check out! Using YouTube streaming, you can surf a list of the most popular songs in the categories of First Dance, Father & Daughter Dance, Mother & Son Dance and Bridal Paty Dance. Once you decide you can also go to Amazon.com to buy the album or surf over to iTunes and download the single!
I am very excited by this new feature, it's been a lot of work and we're still working to expand the music selection but already there is a lot of excellent songs! Over the last several days I've relived a lot of music videos I had forgotten about and seen some I've never viewed before. YouTube is such a wonderful resource for memories! Check it out, and share it with friends.
I love poking around on YouTube, I can waste hours on the site looking at all the memories caught on video. Today I was poking around in the weddings section when this little clip appeared.
The Wedding of George Fulford and Helen Goettsch on Sept. 7, 1935 in Minneapolis.
This family is so lucky! I'd love to have a video clip of either set of my grandparent's wedding! To see my grandfather in his prime strutting around. My grandmother, beautiful and full of life.
Wouldn't you love to see moving pictures of your granparent's at their wedding with friends and family? It's sad really, today when moving pictures and audio are available to every bride and groom through video only a small percentage are having one made. From my sister's wedding her video is her most treasured possession followed by the photos and the hanky dad wiped away her tears with before walking down the aisle. (The tuxedo shop charged dad $20 for that hanky! So dads if you think you may need on make sure you have one besides the pocket hanky that comes with the tuxedo rental!) I know we all want to make money but $20 for a cheap $2.00 hanky! Yesh!
But I digress.
Ladies, if you are thinking about having no video produced, watch that video again and ask youself, "If I could would I want to watch my grandparent's video?" If you say yes, then it's time to call one of our professionals!
And please hire a professional! So you don't end up with a pelvic trust into the camera by the groom. Not to mention all the earthquakes they seemed to be having during the dance.
