3 Reasons Your Destination Wedding Video Can be an Epic Adventure

You’re getting married at an amazing location, so of course your wedding week is going to be full of totally epic stories! And just like a blockbuster epic, your destination wedding video ought to capture the entire story of your amazing wedding journey!

1. You can relive the WHOLE. AWESOME. WEEK. 

Elizabeth and Aaron planned a long weekend of non-stop fun and out-of-the-box group activities…and encouraged their guests to capture the whole thing in totally unique ways:

“We had so many people flying in from so far, including California, New York, Washington and even Japan, so we had to pack as much fun in to the four days as possible. So many people got creative with what they decided to record! The bridesmaids and I were rarely doing the same activities as the groomsmen…but we were able to share our experiences with each other because everyone captured photos or video of the fun things we did”

“The WeddingMix app made it possible for us to capture moments that happened throughout the entire weekend, rather than just the ceremony and reception. We recorded videos from the bachelorette party, the rehearsal dinner, the bridesmaids and groomsmen getting ready separately, and captured moments from different points of view during the actual wedding…The end result was fantastic! So many moments captured that would have been impossible for one videographer to get.”

2. You can capture every one you love the mostest together, forever. 

Texas natives Savanah and John had a 10 day blow-out bash in Cancun. All their loved ones were  going to be there the whole week, but the Cancun videographer would only be there for one day! This wasn’t going to capture the real celebration, as Savanah remembers:

“John said to me while we were there, ‘Think about it. Nothing like this is ever going to happen again.” Both of our Grandmothers were there on vacation with us. Most of his aunts and uncles from New York who we rarely see were having drinks with us on the beach. We had dinner with our friends and my family 4 nights in a row. We ran in to cousins walking to the pool. It was just surreal.”

Luckily, all the crazy did-that-really-just-happen moments (ie. watching fire dancer’s next to your grandma AND your best friend from college) were captured with the simple use of HD flips and smartphone tech:

“The video cameras and phones came out starting at the airport and never got put down by our guests or us the entire 10 days we were there. From tequila shots in the Mexican restaurant to me trying sushi for the first time in the Japanese restaurant and from our rehearsal in our swim suits to our big “uh oh” when we missed our flight trying to get home, it was all on camera. All those little moments that a traditional videographer wouldn’t have caught were on video and we couldn’t wait to see it all edited and put together once we got home”

3. By saving major mula on capturing priceless details, you can go on even MORE legendary experiences! 

Alyssa and Bob got their wedding video for less than the average plane ticket to Jamaica! And a more budget-friendly video option meant more freedom to go on destination adventures!

“WeddingMix allowed us an affordable way to capture all the important wedding moments…but also helped to capture the little details that you often don’t see, like getting ready, enjoying time with your friends and all of their marriage advice!

We even splurged and took a helicopter ride to the resort so we could pretend we were on an episode of The Bachelorette and being able to see the videos as we fly along the beach coming up to the resort is an experience I will never forget (and never do again), so I am so glad we were able to capture the video and include it in our special video.”
