Your
wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. After all, you’ve
found the love of your life and you’re preparing to spend the rest of your
lives together. In such a special season, it’s important to document the joys
and moments that you’ll want to remember forever. Between the dress fittings
and cake tastings, there are so many major details that make the day what it
is. Knowing this, consider these five great ways you can create and document
the story of your special day.
Make a Musical Playlist
Music
is the language that everyone can understand. If you’re a lover of music,
musical documentation of the day might be really amazing. If you’re hiring a
live band, set up a recording system that captures the audio from the day.
Furthermore, you can even record the audio from the actual ceremony and
reception.
Create a Memory Box
At
the end of the night, ask guests to write down their favorite moments of the
day. You can even ask them to fill out a quick questionnaire. Ask guests what
was the favorite song they danced to and what was their favorite moment of the
day. You can ask them about what they could see by looking at the two of you
when you were exchanging vows and other sweet yet unusual questions. Have
guests place the surveys in a memory box and you two can read them on your first year anniversary.
Use Professional Video and Photography
Services
You
always want to get visual memories of the day. Partner with a company like Eivan’s Photo Inc.
and allow them to capture the special day with amazing photography and
videography. Gather a few ideas about how you’d like the day to be captured and
make sure you express that to the professionals. Once there’s great
communication, you can trust them to bring your vision to life.
Give Guests Disposable Cameras
It’s
always cool to see the wedding from the eyes of a guest. As guests first enter
for the ceremony, handout disposable cameras. Ask them to take a few pictures
throughout the day of various details and people that catch their attention.
Create a Vlog
Both
you and your spouse can capture your excitement and joy through your own vlog.
Record messages when you wake up and talk for a minute about how you’re
feeling. Do a quick vlog before you get out of the limo to enter the church. Do
another vlog before the two of you enter the reception. The vlogs don’t have to
be longer than a minute, but it’s a sweet and intimate way to capture your
emotions throughout one of the biggest days of your life.
As
you create these amazing memories with your family and friends, don’t forget to
enjoy the moments as they happen. So many couples admit that their wedding day
zoomed by. As you absorb the moments as they come, you’ll be able to fully
savor this special day forever.
