Spring is here and that means crunch time for brides as they try and get in the best physical shape possible on their wedding day. Therefore, as Boston Wedding Videographers, we thought we would team up with a local fitness trainer to provide a series of video fitness tips to help our brides and others get ready for their big day.
Our trainer is Ashley Brodeur who is the owner of Active Lifestyle Fitness, LLC. I love Ashley’s approach to fitness as she focuses on Boot Camp and TRX-style classes that truly tone muscles and burn massive calories simultaneously. Add that combination to the right diet of healthy foods and correct eating habits, and brides will have the opportunity to look their best on their wedding day.
JPod Productions and Active Lifestyle Fitness have teamed up for six video fitness tips to be released each Wednesday over the next six weeks. They will be sprinkled between our Boston wedding videos and other blog articles.

Over the last few years, wedding videography has transformed into wedding cinematography and in the process, wedding cinematography has moved up the ladder on today’s bride’s vendor priority lists. This week, the Knot joined the growing list of wedding experts that is encouraging brdies to invest in a modern day wedding film. In their article, “Thinking of Cutting Video? Read this First.”, the Knot.com exposes many of the things that make today’s wedding films so valuable. In addition to the unobtrusiveness of today’s small DSLR cameras, the importance of audio, capturing all the moments between the photographs and cool trends like same day edits are making wedding cinematography a sought after commodity of the wedding day. To read all of author Justine Lorelle Blanchard’s supportive thoughts, click on the title of the article above.

One of the largest trends that has swept through the wedding industry is the use of uplighting in wedding venue spaces. At first, we were only seeing uplighting in our upscale Newport and Boston wedding videos, but now the trend is everywhere. To help breakdown the science of uplighting, I have enlisted Jim Powers of CJC Event Lighting to give an uplighting 101 lesson for this month’s wedding video tip. Jim has been responsible for uplighting several of our Boston wedding films in the past few years.
In part two of our wedding tip, Jim covers the difference between higher end lights used by professionals and less attractive lights used by some other add-on vendors. Jim will also talk about pin spotting which adds some nice white light to a reception room, as well as highlights elegant or important features like tall centerpieces or the wedding cake. I must add, that as a Boston wedding videographer who sees lots of different venues with uplighting, I prompted Jim to talk about the difference between “DJ’ lighting and professional lighting. There are some disc jockeys and other vendors who have good knowledge and equipment to uplight a room or space, but there are many others who see it as a quick way to make an extra buck. Use the information in this tutorial to educate yourself and ask the right questions. My favorite quality about CJC Event Lighting, as well as other top event lighting companies is that they will meet with the bride and groom at their venue before the wedding day to look over options in a live setting.

One of the largest trends that has swept through the wedding industry is the use of uplighting in wedding venue spaces. At first, we were only seeing uplighting in our upscale Newport and Boston wedding videos, but now the trend is everywhere. That is a good thing and a bad thing. Proper uplighting can transform rooms into elegant and beautiful ceremony, cocktail and reception spaces that look fabulous in a wedding video. But, who lights your room will make the difference between having some color on your wall and truly transforming a wedding venue.
There are a lot of wedding vendors who offer uplighting, so it is hard to figure out what you are getting in the end. To help breakdown the science of uplighting, I have enlisted Jim Powers of CJC Event Lighting to give an uplighting 101 lesson for this month’s wedding video tip. Jim has been responsible for uplighting several of our Boston wedding films lately. I respect the time and effort Jim puts into each client by meeting them at the venue to discuss potential options for the space. In part one of this video wedding tip, Jim will cover color washing your walls, changing colors, and the use of textures.
