What to Know About Capturing Your BIG Day!

You've spent months, if not years planning this one day in your life. From the color schemes and dresses to the location and menu, there are so many details that make up one single event - but you plan every single one. The question is, how do you plan on preserving your wedding day? Here at Pinecrest, we see many brides who use several different avenues to capturing their day, so we're going to talk about the most popular!

Photography

This is one of the most common ways a couple will choose to capture their special day. You can hire a professional photographer or convince your cousin to come out and take photos. No matter who you choose, it's a wonderful way to look back and remember your day like it was yesterday. Photos have the capability of capturing emotions, feelings, colors and textures in a way that your mind won't likely store for the rest of your life.

From there, you can take your photos to a whole new level by printing them out for frames around your home, printing them on unique materials like canvas, metal or wood, or even making a book filled with all of those wonderful memories. You can even have your wedding photos preserved on blankets, ornaments, puzzles, coasters and more. The sky is the limit with ways that you can use your wedding photos later on.

Videography

Some brides and grooms choose to have a videographer there to capture their big day in an even more real way - video. While there may not be as many options to utilize video after the wedding, compared to photography, it provides a real life perspective of your day. You can hear voices, watch laughter and smiles, hear the vows you have made to your special someone, and see how much fun it was to watch grandma get out on the dance floor.

If you're looking for a good videographer in the area, we would be glad to suggest some to you as you plan your Colorado Springs wedding.

Other Avenues

There is still one other option you can take advantage of while you're capturing your big day, and that is from the guests who take photos. In a generation where social media and technology is so prevalent, unless you ask your guests not to take photos at your big day, they most likely will. Sometimes that can be a great way to get extra perspective, though! Create a hashtag for your event, make sure everyone knows about it, and then tell them to post away! This is a fun way to see their perspective, and get fun photos of individual guests that may not have made an appearance in the professional photos.
