A couple’s wedding day is often a whirlwind for the bride- and groom-to-be. Hap-py couples hope to remember every little detail, but that can be difficult when so much is going on. That is why many brides and grooms hire vid-eographers to preserve the memories of their weddings.

Couples who fail to cap-ture their ceremony and re-ception on film may feel like they missed out once their big day has come and gone. As a result, a professional videographer can be a wise investment.

Today’s wedding videos have come a long way from their poorly produced pre-decessors. Gone are the po-tentially cheesy soundbites and elevator music. Many of today’s videos are artfully edited and highly cinematic productions that could have couples wishing they were viewing videos in theaters. The following are some wed-ding video trends popular among today’s couples.

• Brief clips and high-lights: Few people want to sit through their entire wed-ding day frame-by-frame. Montages of key elements of the day are much more popular than a chronological unfolding of the ceremony and reception. Some videog-raphers like to show snippets of what’s to come at the start of the wedding video, then go into more extensive seg-ments later on.

• Special filters or film: Filters and lighting effects can give a wedding video an entirely different feel. For example, filming in 8mm can lend a grainy touch to the video and make it seem ethe-real or even part of a home movie collection. However, few people want the stark reality of a high-definition camera that highlights every flaw.

• Film chapters: Divid-ing segments of the video

into different chapters al-lows viewers to fast forward to the parts they want to see and pass those they can skip. This saves the hassle of hav-ing to watch the video in its entirety.

• Cinematic styling: In-stead of a stationary camera on a tripod, this method of filming incorporates different angles and close-up shots to give the video a modern feel. It’s shot more like a movie than a documentary, allow-ing viewers to feel as though they’re really experiencing the event.

• Artistic, indy feel: Film buffs may want a wedding video that breaks the mold. Ask videographers to create something that would fit in at the Sundance or Tribeca film festivals.

• Same-day editing: Want

to revisit the ceremony at your wedding reception? Some videographers will edit portions of the ceremony and preparations for the big day in the time between the cer-emony and reception. This gives all guests, including those who may not have been able to make the ceremony, the chance to view the nup-tials.

• Unobtrusive technol-ogy: This trend relates to the equipment used to capture wedding memories rather than the actual finished prod-uct. No one wants their view of the ceremony or reception to be marred by a big, bulky camera.

Smaller video cameras enable videographers to seamlessly blend in and per-haps capture shots that larger cameras could not.

Modern trends in wedding videography

Karsten erzinger and Megan Cawthorne with their families are pleased to an-nounce their engagement. though currently residing in alberta, their hearts are in their hometown of Penticton and they look forward to coming home for their big day that will take place on July 18 at the old 1912 historical hotel in Kaleden.

Many wedding guests are not ready to call it a night after the deejay plays the last dance at the reception.

After parties have grown increasingly popular, but planning an after party is not as simple as pointing guests to a nearby water-ing hole. After parties can be anything a cou-ple wants them to be. They can be a bunch of friends toasting marshmallows over a fire pit or a night of dancing at a club. But it pays for couples to heed a few after party pointers.

• Choose a place within walking distance or close by the reception hall or hotel. Guests have likely been indulging in alcohol during the wedding, and safety should always be a priority. If only a few people are going out, you may be able to pile into a cab, but if your affair will be attended by more than a handful of guests, choose a venue close by so it’s easy

for guests to get there and home.• Limit the food and drink choices. Ask

servers to bring a few pitchers of beer or san-gria and finger foods. This will help avoid dis-

agreements over trying to tally up and split the bill afterward.

• Go comfortably. If you’re ready to get out of wedding finery, by all means change into

something more comfortable. You probably will enjoy yourself more at the after party if you can mingle in more comfortable attire.

• Take advantage of hotel services. Many hotels have conference rooms or attached bars and restaurants that make perfect gathering places for an after party. Make arrangements with the hotel concierge or the front desk in advance.

• Delegate responsibilities. A busy bride and groom may not have the time or the incli-nation to plan another party. If guests want to continue celebrating, put the task in the hands of a third party or volunteer.

• Leave whenever you want. Partygoers will eventually need some sleep. Feel free to leave the after party whenever you want. Usu-ally once a few people begin to disperse, the rest of the group will call it a night.

After party planning pointers

All eyes are on the bride and groom on their wedding day. Feeling beautiful and dapper can boost a couple’s confidence and ensure they look back on their wedding photographs and videos with pride.

Certain beauty basics and makeup and hair strategies can help any bride look spec-tacular on her wedding day. The following are some dos and don’ts of wedding day beauty preparations.

DO employ the services of a professional hairstylist and makeup artist. Profes-sionals have the experience and tools of the trade to help

you to look your best. From contouring to make your face seem slimmer to enlarging the appearance of small eyes, some tricks of the trade are best left to the pros.

DON’T forget to schedule a trial run. Make this appoint-ment several months before the wedding day so you have ample time to work with your stylists and experiment with colors and hair arrangements to fit your personality and the style of your gown. Take plenty of pictures and notes so you will remember what needs to be on hand for the wedding day.

DO allot enough time for

the wedding day beauty ap-pointment. If you will be go-ing to a salon, block out two or more slots instead of one. This way the stylist does not overbook and will not feel rushed. Many brides opt to have stylists come to their homes. There may be an ex-tra charge for this service, but it may be well worth the cost.

DON’T make any drastic changes to your appearance right before the wedding. This includes changing your hair color or texture, extreme tanning, using colored con-tact lenses, or chopping off all of your hair. It’s better to wait until after the wedding

to change your style.DO bring a veil, head-

piece, hair extensions, and any other accessories to your hair consult. This enables the stylist to practice working with these items.

DON’T tweeze or wax brows too close to the start of the ceremony. Redness and swelling are common side ef-fects of tweezing and waxing, and they can be difficult to mask with makeup. Instead, take care of hair removal a day or two prior to the wed-ding.

DO exfoliate your skin prior to the wedding. This doesn’t necessarily mean you should endure a harsh fruit acid peel or another proce-dure. You can exfoliate with a gentle washing of your skin with a nubby washcloth to remove any dryness and er-rant flakes. Moisturize well to ensure a smooth palette for makeup application.

DON’T wash or condition hair the day of the wedding. Intricate styles tend to stay better when hair has a little grip. “Dirty” hair is easier to work with than shiny, freshly washed locks. If you must wash, remember to thorough-ly dry your hair before going to your appointment.

DO wear a little extra makeup than you are accus-tomed to wearing because it will show up better in pho-tos. However, do not wear so much that you look clownish. A makeup artist can help you achieve the right balance.

DON’T have bridesmaids wear makeup that is bolder than yours, especially red lips. No one should upstage the bride.

DO experiment with any products you haven’t used before to test for allergic re-actions and see how well they wear.

DON’T wear too much

under-eye concealer or one that is too light of a shade. This can draw more attention to problem areas than remedy them.

DO bring a pain relief medication in case a tight hairstyle or headpiece causes a headache.

DON’T forget that men need a little help as well. Exfoliation and moisturiza-tion can help dry skin. Guys should use a new razor and plenty of cream before shav-ing to avoid irritation. A dust-ing of finishing powder can banish shiny noses and fore-heads for photo-ready faces.

Be smart about wedding beauty preparation

Bride’s Wedding Planner Checklist


Hidden expensesKerry Maguire and Scott Wagner, both of Penticton, were married at Halcyon Hot Springs on June 17, 2014.

Submitted photo

Few couples enter the process of planning their weddings unaware of just how expensive weddings can get, but costs can easily begin to escalate if couples are not careful.

Certain wedding expenses, such as the cost of booking a reception hall, will eat up a large portion of budgets. But there are some hidden expenses that couples must build into their budgets to avoid finding themselves in debt as they walk down the aisle as husband and wife.

• Taxes: Sales tax might not seem so sig-nificant when you’re buying everyday items, but the taxes add up quickly when paying for a wedding. Before signing contracts with any vendors, couples should get the price including sales tax written into their contracts, as failing to do so may result in a several thousand dollar surprise.

• Gratuities: Gratuities are another poten-tially hefty expense that often takes engaged couples by surprise as they start to plan their weddings. Some reception halls build gratu-ities for staff into their estimates, and these tips for the staff can be as high as 25 per cent at some venues. But even if gratuities for recep-tion hall staff are already accounted for, don’t forget to include tips for additional vendors the day of the wedding. Couples may be expected to tip the florist, photographer, band or deejay and even the reception hall maitre d’ if his or her gratuity is not included in the aforemen-

tioned staff tip. Brides-to-be typically tip their hairstylist and makeup artist.

• Postage: Couples who plan to invite guests via email or online invitations can skirt the cost of postage. But many couples still pre-fer traditional paper invitations, which include return envelopes that tradition suggests should also be stamped. Save-the-date cards have grown in popularity as well, and these cards must also be stamped and mailed. Depending on the size of your guest list, postage can cost several hundred dollars before you mail your last invitation. And don’t forget to save some money for postage to mail thank-you cards.

• Overtime: Overtime fees for reception hall staff and additional outside vendors are typi-cally written into contracts, but few couples imagine needing more than the predetermined allotment of time noted in their contracts. But it’s better to be safe than sorry, as unanticipat-ed events such as a misplaced wedding license or heavy traffic on the way to the venue can force the party to start late and thus extend past its deadline. Set aside some money for over-time so you don’t find yourselves scrounging for dollars or charging it on credit cards.

Weddings are expensive, and even more so when hidden fees start to make their presence felt. Couples who build such fees into their budgets will find it easier to avoid breaking the bank than those who don’t.
