{Wedding Planning} Top Cinematography Tips by RozierWilkinson

We asked the charming guys at Rozier Wilkinson, Peter and Matt, what they thought would help our readers (newly engaged couples) when choosing their ultimate Videographers for their big day! This is what they came up with ...



Image Credit

1.            Please enjoy it - and not just the day, but the whole process. It will happen only once and far too many couples get into stress of organisation and lose sight of what the wedding is, and why they are planning it in the first place. Relax, and enjoy it - you'll make better choices that way.

2.            Weigh up what is important for you - how do you want to remember your day?  It may not be Rozier Wilkinson the way you think - most couples come to us to ask us to shoot their main wedding. When people see our love stories or post wedding films they start to wonder whether other options can be equally as powerful, seeing the video as something which can supplement their wedding as well as record it.

3.            Seriously consider a wedding film. Unfortunately there are a lot of misconceptions about wedding videos, as a lot of people have seen horrible examples - filmed by mad uncle Terry on a dodgy old VHS camera. Many couples dismiss the idea as being too expensive and the end product not good enough. Although we won't get into the photography vs. film debate we truly believe (obviously, or we wouldn't be doing it) that nothing can capture the magic of your day and of you the couple, better than a moving image.

4.            When picking a filmmaker, trust your taste. It is easy to get bogged down in details and packages. The best way to judge whether or not a vendor is right for you is simply by watching their past work. Watch it. Then trust your instinct as to whether or not you like them. Then, once you have a shortlist of filmmakers you like, you can do your research into what each of them offer.

5.            Don't buy into jargon (terms like 'HD', HDSLR, 1080p or long, long lists of equipment and fancy production techniques etc.).  The best measure of a filmmaker is their work. Watch it. Lots of people can write great blurb, and have competitive prices, and provide options that are designed to mop up every type of customer (be especially wary of those). Just look at their work and see if you like, and then have a look to see if you like them. They are going to be part of your big day, and you are going to be giving them  a lot of responsibility, you should like them and trust them and trust their sense of style. Your flowers may die in a week, your film should last for the rest of your life.

6.            Once you find a filmmaker you can trust - trust them.  This is a contentious one as, for example,  most couples will want some sort of say over what music accompanies their film. We always allow our couples to make the decision either way - but we find that in the edit room, some songs just seem to fit much better in terms of tempo and subject matter than others. As editors we're not making those choices based on taste, we're making them based on what works best. However, if you'd prefer your filmmaker to be using only the music you have selected, that's fine, just make sure they have all the correct copyright permissions. The last thing you want is to be sued by Sony because you're wedding filmmaker wiggled out of their legal responsibilities in the small print.

7.            Don't let a filmmaker turn your wedding into a film set. Remind them that they are there to capture your day, your day isn't there to make them a pretty film. A good filmmaker will understand the difference and this will never be an issue.

8.             Be nice. Be honest. And be open. If you have a strong sense of how something should play, or a way the film should be cut, or something you'd like the film to concentrate on - let your videographer know before the shoot. A good filmmaker won't be shooting by numbers so will be only too happy to listen to your concepts and suggestions and will be trying to find ways of giving you want you want and more.

9.            Provide a clear plan for your day. We can't move as fast as photographers.  We shoot on exactly the same cameras, but we have support equipment such as shoulder rigs, sliders and monopods, bud mics, sounds recorders, a multitude of prime lenses (these give a higher quality than zooms) and much, much more.  Because of this, we need a few moments to get to our next location and to set up. In simple setups such as a cake cut, this can be done in a minute or so.  In complicated setups such as your ceremony, this can take a little while. If we have a plan, and we know where you're going to be next, it ensures that nothing is missed and every moment is captured as it happens.

10.          Have fun. Go wild. Chances are, you'll never get the chance to have a documentary made about you for a while - use the opportunity - think outside the box. And enjoy your day!

Can we add an 11th? Yeah! Why not! Let's turn this up to 11!!

11.          When you find a good filmmaker and you're happy with the result, tell people. There'll be other brides out there, exactly where you were before your wedding, fretting over where to find the right people for the job - help them out, it's great for the filmmaker and lets them know that they're on the right tracks and shouldn't be considering a more detached or less caring business model, it's good for the other bride and it's a nice feeling to help others - everyone's a winner!

I love these guys, I would like to sincerely thank you for your time Peter and Matt. Your posts always make me smile. Hoping you all enjoyed this post just as much as I did. It has been a really informative read and maybe you all can take something away from it.

Keeping you inspired!!

{Wedding Feature} Tina and James' Perogative

This morning on the blog, I bring you a gorgeous couple who ooze style and know how to enjoy the moment. Tina and James' wedding was a soiree of fun, frolics and plenty of love.

Tina and James have turned their multicultural wedding into a beautiful elaborate do. In the settings of a Grand mansion house, surrounded by serene landscapes and gardens, the couple infused Tina’s Asian background with James English Heritage. A fusion wedding is what it was.

The Bride adorned a pretty peach fusion gown with silver and crystal embroidery and a rouge red scarf covering her head in a glamorous chic, modern way. She most certainly went ethnic with her jewellery as she worked her bindi. Her bridesmaids wore western knee length rouge red, strapless dresses with Asian infused jewellery to make a perfect match to Tina.

The Groom worked a very suave tux with a deeper red tie and pocket square. A dashing groom he was as his face lit up on the arrival of his bride.



Special credit goes to M&R Photography for sharing these amazingly gorgeous photo's of Tina and James.

{Advice} Bridal etiquette faux pas

Good Morning Y'all! So today we indulge on some of the key things that you should be aware of when it comes to wedding etiquette. Some Bad Bad BAD things, that you will hopefully avoid! There is an etiquette to weddings, pre wedding, wedding day and post wedding. You need to be aware that not only are your guests taking time out of their lives to spend this special day with you, there are a whole host of people giving you  gifts and wonderful amounts of money. So being polite, acknowledging their presence, and taking note are all small things that apply to good etiquette. Lets get on with some serious etiquette pitfalls. 



Image Credit

1. Never pre print thank you notes! It's rude and makes you sound ungrateful. Hand write all thank you notes.

2. It is not wise to say on invitations that you have a gift registry- let your bridal party spread the news.

3. Never post your engagement on or other social networking sites unless all the important people have been informed of the good news first.

4. Don't ever stop smiling. The cameras are everywhere!

5. Don't start making invitations without confirming a date.

6. Don't confirm a date under pressure without consulting those who you would like to be at your wedding.

7. Do not ignore your guests. Make some time to make your rounds to each table spending a few minutes at each one.

8. Be sensitive to food allergies and special dietary issues. Make sure you know these ahead of time.

9. Don't just serve all alcohol. Have some non alcohol options and plenty of water.

10. During the first dance try not to have a conversation with each other. It's nice to embrace the moment.

I hope you have found this useful, for further queries, do not hesitate to contact us directly and we can settle your questions right here on Shaadi-Esque!

The Hindu Ceremony - Head to toe

Planning your wedding ceremony and have no idea where to start? Fear not, Shaadi-Esque is here to assist! Just remember that each family has their own rituals they include  and some they exclude, some of those in this post are very traditional and are celebrated in India, whereas British Hindu equivalents are less extreme. However you can choose to dress your wedding up or dress it down, but to stay on the safe side, its **best to ask an elder**

Hindu wedding ceremonies, much like that of Sikhism and other Indian rituals are long and can last for days if not weeks. If you scroll down this post, you will truly appreciate how many and how long Hindu wedding ceremonies are. The wedding itself is held on one day, however the days leading up to the big day are filled with rituals and cultural metaphors. They may seem tiresome, but when you understand the deeper meaning beneath each ceremony, you will understand and have a greater appreciation for the many sacrifices.

To begin there is the most exciting …

Engagement or Ring ceremony ('Misri') – this is when then wedding rings are exchanged, the couple welcome one another with garlands and the families exchange sweets and gifts. The engagement like many is rounded off with a dinner for friends and close family.

The Mendhi Party – This is a great reason for the Bride’s family to get dressed up and have henna painted on their hands and feet. The henna is for the Bride, her close female family and friends. There are songs and occasionally dancing to celebrate the festivities. Mendhi signifies the strength of a bond in a marriage so brides try to leave the Mendhi on for longer to ensure it darkens nicely! Mendhi parties are often celebrated in a hall or at home, food is usually served.

Raas Garba (Sangeet Party)
Most families celebrate the Sangeet party as a much larger affair, this can be as a separate or joint event for the two new ajoining families. There is an opportunity to primarily sing songs as well as have a feast and dance as it is a party. For Gujaratis, Raas Garba is a favoured alternative, usually held in a hall and a traditional dance, Garba and Dandia Raas is performed. A light supper usually concludes the Raas Garba.

Thr Ghari Puja
This religious ceremony takes place the night before the wedding day in both the bride and the groom’s houses. A priest will be called to perform prayers with a few props, these include rice, coconut, wheat grains, oil, betel nuts and turmeric. During this event, the female relatives and close friends dress up in all of their finest clothes and jewellery. They hold ceramic pots of water on their head and plant a small stalk in their garden in celebration of the marriage. Nowadays, the Ghari Puja is often combined with the cleansing ceremony (Pithi) during which the bride and bridegroom are pasted with turmeric powder in a beautification process.

The Wedding Ceremony:

The wedding day begins with a fast for the bride and the groom. The groom will leave his house alongside his best man and a younger female relative whose job it is to keep the groom awake by shaking a metal pot filled with a few. “The history behind this curious custom is that weddings in India were traditionally held in the evening at which time many a groom might succumb to slumber!”

On departing his house, his younger female members will stop him and demand a "gift" in exchange for allowing him to leave for his wedding ceremony.

The wedding ceremony will take place in a Mandap, which is the four poled which performs a similar purpose to an alter. There is a fire which is sacred on the stage in the Mandap which “symbolises not only the illumination of the mind, knowledge and happiness but is also a clean and pure witness to the ceremony as it progresses.”

The ceremony is performed by the bride, the groom and their parents and close relatives through a set of rituals. The priest will chant "mantras" from the Vedas that were originally written in Sanskrit. He will also use the following props in his ceremonies .. Fresh flowers - to signify beauty; Coconut - to signify fertility; Rice, jaggery and other grains - to signify the food necessary for sustenance of human life; Ghee (purified butter) - to feed the sacred fire; Kumkum (vermilion) - red powder used for marking the forehead to signify good luck and to say that your soul (husband) is with you.

The breakdown of the HINDU WEDDING DAY CEREMONY:

Ganesh Puja
This starts the wedding day off with a prayer which asks Lord Ganesh to chase away any evils and to promote a successful and peaceful completion of the ceremony.

Grah Shanti (Worship to the Nine Planets)
This is a prayer to the nine planets of our Solar system. The effect of the nine planets is meant to be the most reflective. During this puja the Gods associated with these planets are asked to instil courage, peace of mind and inner strength to the bride and groom to help them tolerate life's sufferings.

The Welcome (Parchan)
The bride's mother will welcome the groom with garlands and she then walks him to the mandap. The father of the bride washes the right foot of the bridegroom with milk and honey. After this, a white sheet is held up to prevent the groom from seeing the bride on her arrival.

Arrival of the Bride
This can be as elaborate or simple as you wish. The bride can be carried in a small carriage into the mandap or she can be escorted by her very close uncle followed by the brides female cousins and friends.

Kanyadaan (Entrusting of the Daughter)
The parents consent is given before the wedding is allowed to proceed. The bride's parents at this point will hand their daughter to the groom by putting the bride's right hand into the grooms right hand. (Hastamelap, joining of hands) while reciting a sacred verse. The sheet or curtain separating the bride and groom is now lowered and the couple exchange flower garlands. The elders of the house place an auspicious white cotton string around the couple's shoulder's to protect them from the evil influences.  This represents the couple's bond. The bride and groom join hands and say their vows to love and protect one another.

Ganthibandhan (tying the knot)
The priest ties the wedding knot as a symbol of the permanent union between the bride and groom as husband and wife.



Source

Agni Puja (evocation of the holy fire)
The remainder of the wedding ceremony is performed around a fire which is set up by the priest in what is usually a copper bowl. Agni (fire) is the mouth of Vishnu and symbolises the illumination of mind, knowledge and happiness.

Shilarohana (stepping on the stone)
This ritual is to represent strength in the coming troubles the couple will face together. The bride will be expected to place her right foot on the stone – this stone is a symbol of their home.
Laja homa (putting parched rice into the sacred fire)
Three obligations are offered to the sacred fire. The brother of the bride puts into the bride's hand parched rice, half of which slips into the bridegroom's hand. Mantras are chanted. The bride prays to Yama, the God of Death, that he grant long life, health, happiness and prosperity to the bridegroom.

Mangalfera (walking around the fire)
The couple will make four rounds of the fire, after each individual round they will pause and touch their feel. This resembles the hindrances in their life that they will overcome together. Everything in these many ritual and ceremonies have a distinctive meaning and in their own way protect the couple from evil and hurt. Each of these four rounds have their own true symbol: Dharma – righteousness, Artha – monetary, accomplishment, Kama - energy and passion in life, Moksha - liberation from everything in life. The Groom will lead on the first three rounds which symbolically refers to his promise to attain righteousness, monetary aid, and energy and passion. The bride however signifies the liberation and will lead the final round.

Saptapadi (seven steps)
It is said in Hindu philosophy that if two people walk seven steps together then they will remain lifelong friends. The couple will exchange their vows at the start of each round and at the end the bride’s palms are generously overloaded with rice by her brothers to represent prosperity and wealth. A translation of the seven steps are below:

1.Let us take the first step to provide for our household, keeping a pure diet and avoiding those things that might harm us.

2. Let us take the second step to develop our physical, mental and spiritual powers.

3. Let us take our third step to increase our wealth by righteous and proper means.

4. Let us take out fourth step to acquire knowledge, happiness and harmony by mutual love, respect and trust.

5. Let us take the fifth step so that we may be blessed with strong, virtuous and heroic children.

6. Let us take the sixth step for self-restraint and longevity.

7. Let us take the seventh step to be true companions and remain life-long partners by this wedlock.

Saubhagya Chinha (blessing the bride)
The bridegroom blesses the bride by putting kumkum or sindhur (vermilion powder) at the parting of her hair (or on her forehead) and by giving her a sacred necklace (Mangal Sutra). The Mangal Sutra represents the couple's togetherness, love and sacred union.

Haridaya-Sparsha (touching of hearts)
The bride and bridegroom touch each other's heart reciting promises to each other.

Chathurthi Karma
The bride and groom feed each other four times for nourishment of the bone, muscle, skin and soul.

Aashirvaad (blessings)
The priest blesses the bride and groom. Confetti in the form of petals and rice are thrown on the couple for blessings. The wedding guests can then give their individuals blessings to the bride and groom and once completed, the marriage ceremony ends. Guests are invited to enjoy a sumptuous meal with the newlyweds.

Viddai (Bride's departure)
The farewell to the bride by her family and friends is always very tearful. She will start her new life with her husband and his family.

Source

Pilucinchuanu
Just before the departure of the wedding car from the Hindu temple, the priest will place a coconut under the front wheel of the car; this is then broken by the car as it drives over it. I have recently seen this performed by a horse and carriage. The significance of this in the good old days was that the breaking of the coconut was to ensure the car was safe for the newly wed couple.

The pilucinchuanu is the last of the ceremonies for the wedding..

I hope you have found this post informative and useful whether you are researching or planning for your big day. Either way I wish you the very best and a prosperous 2012 in doing so.
