Over at Weddings By Socialites, wedding planner Kelly has a few good suggestions on what to look for when hiring a band for your wedding reception. How Big Should My Band Be?
Here is a Christine Aguilera song/video I just found on YouTube. The video appears to incorporate footage from her actual wedding. Save Me From Myself, by Christine Aguilera.
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!
Yesterday I ran across a bride who I had exchanged a few emails with and reads our sister site Michiana Weddings. Michiana has lot of similar content as this one but limited to a regional flavor. Well one of the email exchanges we had was about wedding video, she was a little tic'ed that I was constantly pushing wedding video on the blog and her mother was pushing her on the subject, using the blog. Well I can't help it, I have heard too many of my friends/cousings complain they did not have a wedding video after the wedding. And one of my most treasured family videos is an old degrading vhs tape of my in my aunt's wedding as a 2 year old flower girl. And I wouldn't have that video if my aunt hadn't paid someone to make it.
Well, Julie (not her real name to protect the guilty) stood her ground and kept to her original plan of having a friend record the wedding. Make a long story short, during the vows the video shows the friend's feet and floor because he didn't bother actually turning the camera on the B&G from where he was sitting. So no vows, no rings, no nothing. During the reception there is some fantastic shots of women's clevage and butts but not much else. Especially missing is the Father's toast, for which the friend was at the bar he claims.
The moral, well the mom won't let the bride forget the disaster the friend made the video and the bride is now mad at her friend.. Hire a professional, save your friendships and keep peace in the family. :-)
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.
First there was the Bridal Party Thriller Dance... Then came the first dance of Baby Got Back and now we have a father & daughter dance to...
I'm working on assembling a bunch of these YouTube videos right here and don't forget to check out our list of Father Daughter Songs at Wedding Grooves!
Our favorite USPS is raising postage prices on May 12th for the second consecutive year from 41 cents to 42 cents. The price of the FOREVER stamp will go up at the same time. If you purchase the FOREVER stamp for 41 cents it will still be usable for first class postage after the rate increase takes place. So in order to avoid the rate increase I recommend going out and purchasing a few rolls of the FOREVER stamp. Other rates are going up also, so depending on the size of your wedding invitations, you should check with the postal service so you’re not surprised when it comes time to mail them out.
