2. IDEAS FOR WEDDINGS: Lighting
The way in which you light up your wedding will be an essential aspect to take into account when decorating it.
Good lighting is probably the most important factor in obtaining spectacular images and a different look from other weddings. But… What is considered good light?
From the photographic point of view, the first objective would be to obtain a wide lighting (that illuminates all the guests equally), soft (screened or diffused) and a homogeneous color (all sources warm, white or cool, but not mixed).
This type of lighting is great for portraits, as it casts hardly any harsh shadows on the face, doesn't create glare, and produces even skin tones that can be easily adjusted in post-production to add or subtract warmth to each scene as needed.
Many couples think that a cloudy day detracts from the wedding, but from the point of view of the image it is very aesthetic and flattering, since it softens wrinkles and imperfections and does not generate annoying shadows. So in bad weather... have a good face!
2.1 Beware of flickering
Some cheap light sources such as "worklights" used to illuminate the exterior of haciendas or large chains of poor quality small LEDs can produce a terrible flickering effect on the video called "flicker effect".
Although this flicker can be smoothed out by adjusting the camera settings during recording, if the light is of very poor quality it will be impossible to completely remove it and it may affect the final result of the video without our being able to remedy it.
If you want to be sure, you can ask at the venue if its lights are "flicker-free" or "flicker-free", especially if the wedding is at night, illuminated with LED strips or powered by generators.
3. IDEAS FOR WEDDINGS: Lighting
Although during almost the entire wedding a clear environment and homogeneous lighting are sought, there are certain moments in which the opposite can be interesting and desirable.
For example, in a pre- or post-wedding session, or even in a brief session with the couple alone after the ceremony, you can plan lighting with vivid colors or use colored smoke flares.
This last resource of the flares can also be great for a spectacular exit after the ceremony, or a tremendous entrance to the appetizers (supported by lively music from your DJ).
But remember, you should never use them indoors, since the smoke can be very annoying in closed spaces and cause problems for guests.
Using a smoke machine (in moderation) during the open bar can also help visualize the DJ's beams and create a very cinematic atmosphere.
4. IDEAS FOR WEDDINGS: Music
Do you know the concept marryoke? If you love music and want to have a different memory You can choose to record this kind of video clip with your favorite song. The guests will have to learn different parts of the lyrics to be able to record them singing it at different times of your wedding. The result... an original and super fun video.
5. IDEAS FOR WEDDINGS: Funds
Several LED strips strategically placed on the backgrounds can generate a beautiful defocused light effect called bokeh. The same effect can be achieved with many candles in glass vases placed in some pretty corners of the hacienda. Taking care of the funds with adequate decoration or lighting is always a success to improve your wedding and report.
5.1 altar or photographic corner
This idea consists of setting up an area for photos that is specially cared for in terms of lighting and decoration.
A kind of modern photocall, decorated in the same style as your wedding and that will allow you to have original and different photos.
If you want to see samples of this type of decoration, do not hesitate to contact us and we will show them to you in a personal meeting, where we can show you these and many other wedding ideas.
This type of mini decorations will undoubtedly also be a success among your guests, who will be eager to immortalize the moment with a good "posture" with the hashtag of your wedding.
Do not doubt that they will copy this idea for your wedding!
6. IDEAS FOR WEDDINGS: Choice of time and light
Suppose you have chosen an outdoor ceremony and you have several options to orient the altar and chairs, but you don't know which one to choose because they all seem valid.
At that moment you remember that you read this blog and the professionals of linkart They recommended you think about light.
Do you remember then that your wedding will be at 12:00 in the morning, in summer, with a fair sun that will hit you in the face producing undesirable shadows, shine with sweat, dazzled closed eyes... but don't worry! can fix!
The first option would be to orient the distribution of chairs so that the sun hits you and your guests from behind, so that it does not bother you and even creates a very nice and cinematographic warm halo.
The second option, when the arrangement cannot be changed, would be to place some translucent fabrics as a roof to soften the light, making an altar that protects the bride and groom from the sun. Or take advantage of the place's own natural shadows so that the entire event is safe from the sun.
But be careful, the most important thing is that both the groom and the bride have the same light, because if one is in the shade and the other in the sun, the result will be visually very strange and difficult to match.
Paying attention to these small details can make a big difference in the final result.
7. IDEAS FOR PRE-WEDDING AND POST-WEDDING
On the day of the wedding, nerves are on the surface, the bride and groom have to be aware of many things and emotions can play tricks on us.
That is why we recommend that on the day of the wedding you do not spend a lot of time with the suppliers and focus on enjoying the moment and your guests.
After many years of experience making reports, we can assure you that it is not usually a good idea to spend the time of the appetizers going to a remote place to take photos or video.
Our advice is that you spend just 5 or 10 minutes to have a small memory of the two of you together alone on your wedding day (usually while the guests finish arriving for the appetizers).
99% of the creative shots you see in wedding videos are actually recorded the days before or after, in the calls pre-wedding or post-wedding sessions.
These types of sessions are much calmer, can be done in your favorite places or in beautiful locations and allow you to experience all kinds of audiovisual techniques to achieve incredible effects.
They are also fun and a good way to let loose in front of the camera.
If you want them to be even more special, try to relate them to aspects that define you personally or as a couple.
For example, if you both like croissants (croissants) organize a pre-wedding in Paris, having breakfast in a chic cafeteria and reading the press in French.
Or if you are both musicians, arrange a photo or video shoot on stage. If you like cycling or hiking, a session in the mountains.
Think about what you like, what defines you or what you find original and do not hesitate to make us proposals so that we can also provide you with fun or different ideas.
10. ENJOY AND SMILE
Of all the tips, this is probably the most important.
Weddings can be stressful, many things can go wrong, but keep in mind that in the end what you will remember will be the images: a report where you would like to see you smiling and enjoying yourself to the fullest.
If it rains on the wedding day, if the buses are late, if there are delays that disrupt the plans... try to always take it in a good mood and with a positive attitude.
These are things that can never be completely controlled, but we have several examples of weddings with problems or difficulties where the couple, instead of breaking down, took it with humor and ended up turning into incredible parties.
Even one with epic videos and photos dancing with the guests in the rain.
Do not forget that we will always help you make decisions in difficult times, because, although we are not wedding planners, we will spend almost the whole day by your side and our experience can be useful to advise you, since we have weddings every weekend and we know how they work.
