Capturing Moments

By Erica Eng

It would be impossible for the wedding photographer and videographer to capture every single moment at your wedding. The new wedding trend is to utilize your guests to help capture as many moments as possible. Luckily technology makes this easily accessible with instagram, cell phones, Facebook, twitter, and flip cameras. Below are three easy ways to get your guests involved with capturing moments.

Create an instagram hashtag so all of your guests can instagram and hashtag photos taken at your wedding. By creating a hashtag all of your wedding photos taken by your guests will be easily found through instagram. For example at each table a card could be placed that says, “do you instagram? Please tag your photos with #wilsonwedding and help us capture the story of our day” At the end of the wedding the couple can search the hashtag on facebook and see all the images their guests captured.

 

Make a game for your guests by playing a game of I Spy. Give each guest a card with tasks to complete. These tasks will be comprised of pictures you would like taken of your wedding day. For example one task could be capture tears of joy and another task could be capture a yummy treat. At the end of the wedding Guests can upload their pictures to the free wedding party app, that way the bride and groom can see all of the photography from their guests.

 

Use the company Wedit which sends wedding couples 5 HD cameras in the mail three days before the wedding for a small price. The couple can pass out the wedit cameras to their guests throughout the wedding to record all the festivities. Once the cameras are returned to Wedit, Wedit edits the footage into a video. This company allows your guests to help capture the evening.
