Confessions of a Wedding Videographer The Rise
and Fall of the Bride
  • I used to take photos for newspapers, so whenever
    I needed extra money I would do photos and videos
    for Alfred Angelo 2133. It was pretty much a
    word-of-mouth thing, although I would usually
    have a standard advertisement for my services
    running in a few local papers.

2
  • It was not typically hard, although it was
    time-consuming and you needed to make sure you
    shot the highlights, La Sposa Deseo a lot of the
    bride and groom (of course), as many family
    members as possible, action shots (mostly the
    dancing), the cute little kid stuff, grandma
    doing the Irish jig and anything else you would
    expect a bride and groom to deem memorable.

3
  • When shooting weddings, I never knew exactly what
    to expect, other than how many people would be
    attending and where the wedding and/or reception
    was located. But frankly, nothing could have
    quite prepared me for this particular Maggie
    Sottero Anna J1260. The couple saw my ad in the
    local paper and called me. I met with them, told
    them the price and what to expect, and they
    signed a contract on the spot.

4
  • It all started out as a fairly typical wedding
    with about 150 family members and friends, bride
    and groom, groomsmen and bridesmaids. The crowd
    seemed to break up into two separate camps --
    like in 'West Side Story' with the Jets and the
    Sharks Mori Lee 2322. As I learned through simple
    eavesdropping, the groom's family could not stand
    their son's choice of a bride.

5
  • More Confessionals
  • Apparently the bride was painfully aware of this,
    as every time I spotted her she was downing
    another shot of something. I guess she was
    putting away so much alcohol as a means of
    fortifying herself for the evening. She was never
    without a drink in her hand! I do try to get
    shots of the bride and groom Pronovias Alfa
    unencumbered of items like beer bottles and wine
    glasses, to make for what I think is a better
    video. This wasn't going to happen, as she never
    let the booze out of her clutches.

6
  • But after a few hours the bride couldn't even
    hold a glass, and she was having an even harder
    time holding herself up. She was tripping on her
    train, her veil was all amiss and I was trying
    desperately to find "normal" looking shots, but
    they were becoming non-existent. So I basically
    was San Patrick Capri running around taking tons
    of footage of everyone else I could find,
    including the seemingly sober groom in most of
    the shots. I tried getting shots of the bride
    from the side, the back and in distance shots so
    as not to close in on her inebriated condition.

7
  • Suddenly, the bride collapsed into a heap on the
    dance floor, completely passed out -- flowing
    dress, long train, veil fanned out around her
    body on the floor Sottero and Midgley Bloome
    Jsm1300. I froze, and I didn't dare take a
    picture of this, for I thought it was too awful,
    a horrible memory for both of them.
  • Then in one fell swoop the groom came over,
    picked his bride up off the floor, swung her over
    his shoulder and walked out of the reception.
    Now, that I caught on video for posterity.
