Wedding, as a couple union, we hope it may be one in life and that our partner will be for life.
Wedding, as a event is certainly unrepeatable because of the people who participate, therefore it should also be considered as an opportunity for unrepeatable sharing.

In the Guest Book, thoughts and affection are always sincere.
A Guest Book can be used for wishes only, but when Polaroid photos are combined with wishes, Guest Books become even more precious objects!
It is the difference between radio and cinema: listening to words evokes images in our mind, viewing images makes us completely relive a particular situation!

Many times couples told us how exciting it was, the day after their wedding, to browse the guest book written the day before by their loved ones. It’s like opening a gift and prolonging the wedding.

Guest Book can be entertainment: many times we saw adults having fun being photographed and then enjoying writing on the Guest book.
For many today the Guest Book is a piece of the party that should never be missing at the wedding reception.

Is the GUEST BOOK a book or is it a tool?
Is the GUEST BOOK a sharing of affections, or is it just a way to say: – “I was there too!”?
Is the GUEST BOOK a way to keep dedications or photos or is it a way to make a wish?
Surely it’s all this and also is the perfect, elegant, discreet excuse to involve the guests, to sensitize them to remember that the reception is not like being in a restaurant!
Marriage is a day of sharing and the Guest Book is sharing.

Personal digression on the concept of RECEPTION: bride and groom often misrepresent the idea of wedding reception.
Sometimes they thought it is a way of thanking guests for participating.
Now, if you think it is necessary to thank any guests for coming to your wedding, give yourself a gift, do not invite them: you deserve better

Let’s debunk the cliches:

“Is it enough for me to set up a table with the Guestbook and some Polaroid machines?”
Unfortunately 9 out of 10 times it doesn’t work.

Why?

1) Because the guest book must be suggested to guests. Making a wish for the bride is a moment of true sharing and therefore it may not be easy.
It is an individual act and an intimate moment, certainly more authentic than typing a whatsapp (the message is overcome, the printed paper is kept forever).
We are no longer used to write with pen in white sheet!
It is necessary to let go our feelings!
After overcoming the initial stumbling block, you will feels intimately better after writing some beautiful thought.

2) Because in wedding receptions, guests will rarely come spontaneously. The guests are usually more discreet than at a dinner at home. The elegance of ties and long dresses calls for behavior appropriate to the wedding tone,
Everyone knows, however, that wedding is the celebration of love and not just a PR event, so when the photographer invites the guest to take a photo and / or a dedication for the Guest Book, everyone always feels well prepared because involved .
The GUEST BOOK is a key to reinforcing everyone’s need for participation.

3) Because Polaroid cameras are not digital, therefore they must be managed by a photographer. The Polaroid cameras after about 10 shots must be opened and the film must be replaced every time. Who still uses film cameras? Nowadays it is a technical complication.
Having the Polaroid camera managed by an invited friend (who will never say that he would have preferred to enjoy the party) let’s be honest.+, is not an elegant solution.

THEREFORE:

“The Photo Guestbook only works when a photographer is going to manage it”

The goal of the Guestbook Polaroid photographer is always to offer the bride and groom the best possible experience of the event. During the reception, the photographer manages the Polaroid camera and work for involving the guests with discretion and elegance.
The photographer is the key because it allows you to:
– involve the guests (at least the majority of them) suggesting them the importance of dedicating their own thoughts to the wedding couple
– make the reception more dynamic and enjoyable
– if possible, also give the guests a printed photo souvenir to take away.

Guestbook and Polaroid are a perfect match.
When combined with a Photo booth, the reception becomes a TOP event!

“Let’s debunk the clichés!”

Sometimes bride, groom and guests, especially when the context is very formal and elegant, prefer the way of discretion, low tones, thinking that low profile attitude is synonymous with refinement and prestige.
Let’s not confuse cheap and ridicule entertainment with professional entertainment.
Photo-Booth becomes baroque when it is not managed by professionals.
Photo Boooth is an element of visual impact in receptions that must retain its dedicated and well-studied space in relation to where the aperitif tables are positioned (when tables are present).
The help of a professional is highly recommended.

“Is it enough to set up a table with some Polaroid cameras?”

We can say yes if your purpose is just enriching the location,
When your goal is to allow your guests taking photos, the “Up Yourself Polaroid Corner” does NOT work at all.
We have seen so many beautiful Photo Booth settings, but left to themselves so they lack real involvement.
A Photo Booth that works is a managed Photo Booth.
Otherwise Photo Booth will be only a colorful space, but ignored by almost all of your guests.
The FocaleWedding Photo-Booth is always manned by our photographer.
Our personal way of conduction of a Photo-Booth makes the difference because we know how to involve people with grace, sobriety and elegance.
An expert photographer knows how and when to ask people to participate in a Photo-Booth by offering them the guarantee of receiving well-made memories (and that eventually they may even take them home by a printed picture).

“I don’t’ care: everyone will take pictures with their mobile phone!”

They will do it, it’s true!
As in our daily life, as in weddings, we like taking photos with our smartphones.
During a wedding, guests are often intent on taking a picture with the idea of keeping a private souvenir of the event.
It’s a commendable effort that then ends up forgetting digital memories crowded with other kind of photos, various documents, images of our job, of our pets, whatsapp images of our many whatsapp groups, etc …
The truth, however, is that our smartphone photograph will be lost in the memories of our smartphones.
Photo booth is the perfect way to take pictures of all your guests! You’ll never lost your wedding photographer’s photos!
If you will add a Guest book, the Photo booth pictures will never be forgot because we’ll collect them in a book!

“Accessories make the difference”

We have ours if you wish!
Here they are:
We have a series of accessories, beards, hairstyles, mustaches, glasses… and then a large number of comics to hold for “Communicating!” It is the logic of the vintage silent films of the early American cinematography! The films, strictly in black and white, had no audio. The voices of the protagonists had to be read by the viewer! The words written in panels that broke the footage were synthetic and easy to read. The Photo Booth was born from this traditional concept and our replica in our printed accessories wants to be a nice, stylish and a solution easy to use.
Our accessories are precious objects on colored shaped Forex. Forex is a safe, light and resistant material, impermeable to liquids and usable in any context.
For very exclusive events, we have also worked with costume designers who have provided real wigs, antique stage clothes, real glasses and a whole set of clothes whose rental is not a detail to be underestimated. We reserve the right to manage certain complexities only upon explicit request from the wedding planner or client agency.

“The Photo Booth backdrop”

We provide our universal backdrop-holder structure and the backdrops we have (structure measurements: up to 3 meters wide and up to 2.80 meters high).
It would be great to create your own ad hoc backdrop for your personal event!
With a little extra, on request, our creative team will create a graphic project designed for a real photo backdrop made of fabric.
Just consider an adequate advance to manage production and printing times.
We are also used to manage Photo Booth when instead of our backdrop there is a scenography provided by externals
When Photo Booth scenography is made by real armchairs, tables with chairs, lamps and other accessories the logistics and set-up will be the subject of a project with an ad hoc estimate depending on the complexity of the scenography.
Setting up, transportation and then picking up at the end of the event are just some of the complexities to manage.

Focalewedding’s Photo-booth is a quality entertainment where every detail of its management is not left to chance and offers just interesting opportunities:
– entertain the guests during the aperitif with an elegant divertissement
– enrich the reception with a beautiful idea always well appreciated by guests
– create the ideal situation for taking photos to of your all guests!
– dissolve the event tension and take advantage of the game of photography to create moments of authentic sharing happiness.
– in case you have added a Polaroid Service, immediately give the guests a souvenir photo of the wedding)

Seeking the advice of an experienced and professional team is essential.

A Photo booth, set up with dedicated lights and a professional photo backdrop requires ad hoc management of the spaces of the location and also an adequate thinking concerning the safety parameters due to the presence of professional lighting equipments.

The idea of preserving memories is therefore a normal and common thought.
A commendable effort that is sometimes made just to participate at the moment.
Sometimes, it is easier for some to take their smartphone and think of something practical to do …
Sometimes letting go of emotions and experiencing the moment with our own eyes can not be taken for granted.
In end, for all of us all, smartphone photographers, the truth is that we will only have captured another photo, maybe good, maybe not, very soon lost somewhere in our devices…

Polaroids photos are nice, smart, a bit stylish and ideal for any personal events.
Polaroid cameras offer the advantage of capturing memories and having them printed immediately!

In contrast to the trends of digital photography,
the photographs printed on paper are back in vogue.
In a world where everything is virtual and impalpable it is even more pleasant to receive a gadget, even more if it’s a very personalized souvenir like our picture.
The vintage of the Polaroids married immediately with another revival concept: the Photobooth!
It’s such a perfect match as cream, chocolate ice-cream!
Read our article HERE to find out more about Focalewedding Photo-booth!

Polaroid and Photobooth have changed, improving it, the way of experiencing personal events, giving brilliance to receptions, dynamism at weddings, fun at birthday parties, etc.
Focalewedding’s approach is always a guarantee of quality entertainment where every detail is designed by professionals with respect for a discreet and elegant tone.
Polaroid and Photobooth have undoubtedly become a trend element always appreciated by everyone during weddings of all levels.

“So, I just need to set up a table with Polaroid Cameras! That’s all?
(It’s just cheaper and it will be fine anyway?)

Unfortunately not.
The risk of failure is high. The risk of spending less to not getting what you want is certainty.
Let’s see just some of the practical aspects not to be underestimated:
the polaroid machines take about ten photos, then stop, they must be opened and the film must be replaced.
It is not an operation that can be left to children, mothers or enthusiastic friends.

“Ok! A friend of mine like photography so much, he can do it therefore no problem!”

Of course he will be able to do it!
Unfortunately you will realize too late that you have condemned a friend who hoped to be an invited like the others and instead finds himself playing the role of the photographer at your wedding. Too bad! Of course he will never tell you that he would have preferred to enjoy the party and you will justify yourself by thinking that he’s a photo lover and that taking pictures is his passion…
With the same approach, you could also assign different roles to other guests? Why not? In end, pay attention to bad tongues …

“A professiona photographer makes the difference”

Why?
Partly because of the lack of practicality of some, partly because of the laziness of others, when we see a “do-it-yourself Polaroid corner”, it ends up abandoned or at the mercy of children looking for some new game to play.
Focalewedding Polaroid service provide a photographer which manage the Polaroid camera during the reception,
he measure its use, he manage to involve people with discretion and elegance,
he get what you want to get from a Polaroid machine:

• take photos to print in REAL TIME
• enrich the party with a vintage and stylish flavor
• entertain guests with funny photos because at a funny party you are not just eating or drinking!
• give guests a souvenir of your wedding
• or treat yourself to a Guest book made of Polaroid taken together with friends and relatives.

The final question is: Do-it-yourself Polarid Corner or Managed Polarid Corner?

From our experience of years of events we can affirm that the difference in the result avoids any misunderstanding and the decision to have everything managed by a photographer is the only guarantee of effectiveness. And we don’t say it to draw water to our mill. Experience is professionalism. We put ours at your disposal also in this article, for free.

The choice to make a photo and / or video projection during weddings always involves a significant difference in making a wedding party that is worthy of note and memory.
The style and elegance of the projection must obviously reflect the tone of the event.
A projection of images, when well organized and then managed in a professional way, is a moment of sharing that gives great value to the whole event.
It is a gesture that interests everyone and that catalyzes the attention on what the bride and groom desire to say.
The slideshow are not always made just by photos of the spouses: this moment is sometimes used to communicate something fun, something personal, sometimes it is simply the way of sharing memories that reinforce a sense of belonging that is often taken for granted.
A professional slideshow is a simple and direct way to say how special it is to be there that day and how is important to belong to that group of people on the most special day of a newly married couple.

Daniele and Sara wedding at Villa Miani in Rome:
The contents of the slideshow can be memories or even a loud and clear message to everyone when is needed (this was the case with Vincenzo and Antonio during their gay wedding in Agrigento, Sicily).
Whatever the content of the presentation, which is still customized by the focalewedding team in accordance with the wishes of the spouses,
it is a moment that fills the festive occasions and makes the entertainment of a reception more pleasant because it streamlines the times.
Sometimes, when the guests are well attuned to the images, it can become a moment that can involve and excite as much and even more than the exchange of the rings.
You can also consider this slideshow just a way to warm the hearts and attract attention to yourself: at the end of the slideshow there will be the perfect moment to give space for your real words.

WHY FOCALEWEDDING?
When we talk about a professional presentation and slideshow we mean:
– dedicate an operator to the management of the presentation, and when required, also create the slideshow directly on the day of the event including the most beautiful and touching images of the wedding,
– provide a backdrop on which to project, industrial cables and extension cables and a Mac for on-site video assembly,
– ensure that quality audio is reproducible and can be listened to by all guests, provided that a suitable audio system if available in the location,
– make our audio-video experience available to manage the technical details before and during the event itself, leaving the couple the pleasure of enjoying the show and their guests.

Private Party in Palazzo Parigi, Milano:

YOU SHOULD JUST ENJOY YOUR RECEPTION:
We will take care to speak with the location managers before the event to evaluate which services are actually available in the location, the spaces, the audio equipment on site and their compatibility with our devices.
We will evaluate the technical details and wiring possibilities. If it will be impossible to carry out the presentation, the spouses will be notified in time and therefore no costs will be charged for the lack of service.
We will suggest the perfect projection space to obtain an ideal projection that is compatible with the spaces and also with the normal course of work at the event.
Obviously the spouses must be aware of every choice, but their thoughts will still be dedicated to something else.

WHAT THE OTHERS DO?
The contents that have asked us to show up are the most varied. There are no rules and in any case it is a moment of free speech.
Sometimes we project contents received by the spouses themselves as a roundup of photos provided that tell the story of the bride and of the groom from their childhood until today,
sometimes are friends who provide us contributions, such as photos or videos of those absents from the event.
Often, however, without external contributions, we create projections which tells the most beautiful moments immortalized by the sophisticated and professional eyes of the photographers.
An idea that always arouses much hilarity are the interviews with friends and relatives made during the day (when obviously a videomaker is expected to shoot a wedding film).
At times, a rarer but truly touching idea is to project a series of “significant” images for the couple, over which short speeches, dedications and thanks and / or messages were held to be shared with everyone.

WHAT PEOPLE SUGGEST?
Marriage is a celebration of a couple’s love, but also an occasion that is unlikely to re-appear in a couple’s life: having all the loved ones around for a day. What a better time to tell something to everyone?!
Tell it live! Tell it with the universal language of images and music. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Photo journalism is the photography at the service of the news.
A marriage is definitely a news that deserves to be put in the foreground, at least in the personal and family context of the couple who marries.

A wedding photo reportage is a story telling through photography, a collection of all those moments experienced by the spouses and guests in a day, during a preparation, a ceremony, a party… capturing images in their most complete and broadest genuineness.

It’s a task far from easy because catching moments never offers a second chance, you can not repeat or arrange the subjects better in the frame. A wedding reportage needs a strong team of professionals who know how to work together, who are able to move discreetly among the guests and who have the watchful eye to capture beautiful moments.

It happens very often that the photographer have to catch very fast actions, such as the launch of the bride’s bouquet, or the rice in front of the churchyard or the sudden bright and moved eyes of a guest. The scene can not be repeated. The protagonists cannot repeat the pose.
Shooting in that way, it’s very easy to lose forever precious moments.

Fortunately it happens more rarely that a couple entrust the photo narration of his marriage to a friend or to a cousin and this is because we don’t like any more the traditional photo album with the classic ritual boring portraits…
The difference between a professional and a friend will be always evident.
Not giving importance to the photos of our wedding is a error that sooner or later you always regret.

A growing number of couples are looking for a wedding reportage as an alternative to the classic photo shooting, and this choice reflects the new way of communication, that is much more spontaneous and simple, with more importance to emotions rather than appearances. This does not mean that you want to give up the traditional white dress, the veil and the groom eagerly waiting at the altar. At the same time we want to see and show and share our intimate feelings.

Here we are: the photographs become more smiling, the bride is beautiful even with that rebellious curl that has slipped down from the hairstyle and the groom is much more relaxed with the tie just loosened and that bright smile while laughing with friends.
Now we can appreciate the love of a father who entrusts his daughter to that man. We see it in the gesture of his hand that caresses the face of the bride, in that look that speaks without words.
These are the photographs that are taken in a marriage reportage and that, indeed, become its protagonists.

To shoot a wedding reportage it is not enough to know the photo technique, but is essential to have a heart, to understand the personality of the couple and capture their being with ease almost “disappearing in front of the subject “, as in a quote of the photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson.

Telling an event in few hours, without the possibility of making mistakes, is always a new challenge. The reportage photographer lives with a touch of adrenaline, the emotion of getting involved, animated by the undisputed passion for photography.

L'articolo Wedding Reportage: the other side of the photo journalism sembra essere il primo su Focale Wedding.

When we imagine our wedding day we want it to be like a unique and unrepeatable dream.

Sometimes it is not enough to be surrounded by the embrace of our loved ones and friends: it is essential that everything, really everything is perfect; the location, the dress, the photographer, the flowers, and most of all the place, the location where to celebrate it!

The reasons that push the Destination Wedding to Italy are many. Here we are to try to clarify something more about it telling you about one of our international wedding in Rome.

Our beautiful couple decided to move from Istanbul to Rome for their wedding.
Fascinated by the seventeenth-century atmosphere of Villa Aurelia on the Gianicolo hill, they said YES with an outdoor civil ceremony, and embarked on a new path of life in the shadow of the eternal city.
Villa Aurelia has often changed its name over the centuries, depending on the owner who lived there, but has always managed to maintain its historical unchanged identity both in the architectural structure of the building and in the splendor of his gardens.

Above all Villa Aurelia, generously offers to all guests a breathtaking view over the rooftops, over the domes and over the monuments of the Eternal city of Rome.
We of FocaleWedding team we have not even resisted to this charm.

We start our journey almost like the fairytale incipit of “Once upon a time …”, and then the journey begins. Let the gates open:

And immediately the air you breathe seems to have stopped in time.

We arrived in the huge rooms on the Villa that recall moods of ancient times. Then the team of professional hairstylists and make-up artists start working taking care of all details.

The backstage of the wedding dress tells about those moments of hard waiting before the ceremony.
Some images may appear not so important, but they bring back sensations and perfumes.
The veil lying between the chairs seems to dance with the wind (the Ponentino wind of Rome).

The light that enters from the large windows, seems playing with the golden stucco walls.

It does not matter how long you expected this day: everything is told, silently, in a wedding photo reportage.

Outside the guests are waiting, in their refined dresses with colorful, fluffy and elegant fabrics, surrounded by the high hedge of the Italian garden and refreshed by the ancient fountain. They are all ready for them: the newlyweds!

Bride and groom arrive happy. To promise each other.

And immediately the party begins. The dinner set up outdoors. The music. A marriage is an explosive and contagious joy. As professional phptgraphers and videomaker, our mission is to freeze emotions forever.

We are sure that she will always remember the words of her husband and this shot will bring back forevere the energy of that evening.

Happiness on the face of the bride’s friends is shared. The joy of these moments is at the top and can not be artificially created but only captured in one click.

“A wedding phot reportage is a story, it’s not just a photograph“

It is an important choice because it drastically reduces the number of guests. In fact, not all guests will be willing to move to the other side of the world to attend your wedding, but if you like an intimate and confidential ceremony in your wedding day the Destination Wedding is the ideal solution.

Italy sees the trend in the Destination Wedding sector in absolute ascent. The reasons for this growth are many.
History and beauty: Italy is a single large open-air museum that turns into the ideal scenario for a wedding reportage. Who does not want Ponte Vecchio as a wedding witness in Florence or the Colosseum in Rome?
Charm and enchanting places: the enchantment of places that bring you back in time giving us unique views, the magnificence of our many cities and medieval villages, the undisputed green of bucolic landscapes respond perfectly to the magic you want to give to your wedding day.
Romance. The list of the romantic Italian cities par excellence would be very long: most of the Italian cities are romantic. Some for the grandeur of their monuments, others for breathtaking views and others, small and intimate, for that fairytale atmosphere that makes you dream.
And finally another decisive aspect in choosing Italy as destination wedding is the quality of food and wine production: Italian excellence in cooking is recognized all over the world, and enjoy it in the native place, enriches the same dish with a further charm, almost one could perceive the millennial tradition that lies behind every preparation.
Every single element would be, in itself, a more than valid reason for choosing Italy, but when all these elements come together, they become an irresistible call and ideal frame for a love story.

If you have made your decision to get married abroad, one of the most important aspects is to choose a local Wedding Planner that can take care of the bureaucratic and organizational details for you. Very important is also entrusting the success of your marriage to the eye attentive and discreet of specialized wedding event photographers that knows how to tell and grasp everything you are experiencing.

The choice of the photographer in a Destination Wedding is even more strategic because freezing your emotions is not a simple matter of technique: the photographer need to be empathetic with the spouses, get to know each other, understand your expectations and desires…
We at Focale Wedding (click here fot more informations) have gained extensive experience in weddings with foreign spouses because we know perfectly English, French and Spanish.
After a first contact via email of presentations, we can also proceed via Skype for a deeper cognitive phase, where it becomes easier to understand the wishes of the spouses, the mood they have chosen and the expectations and desires that they live. Choosing the photographer who will talk about you is an important moment because it means entrusting to others the story of a fundamental day for your life as a couple and we are convinced that listening is a key element for the success of a wedding report.
Being in front of a camera and try to be a model for one day is not easy for anyone, unless you are a professional actor. Being photographed is first and foremost a conquest of trust: that day you must not think of anything else but enjoy your big day and we at Focale Wedding know it well and we just want to turn your wedding into a dream.

“romance, dreams and the wild feeling of everlasting love“…

As scenery of this fashion story, Gabriele Fogli chose Sorrento, not far from Naples in Italy. The location of this shooting day was the luxurious Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria in Sorrento, Italy. The hotel sits atop a cliff above the shining waters of the Gulf of Naples, with Mount Vesuvius rising proudly in the distance. The Grand Hotel Excelsior Vittoria is famous for its terrace and breath-taking views, it’s positively enthralling and a great backdrop for enchanting bridal fashion editorial shooting.

Supported by each other’s unstoppable strength and convinced of their own feelings, Antonio and Vincenzo wanted to give a signal, a testimony of their love. In july, 2014  the 27, they chose the enchanting scenery of the Chiaramonte Castle in Siculiana, in the province of Agrigento, just few steps from the Valley of the Temples, in a land rich in history and beauty, to bring together family and friends from all corner of the world and to seal their union.

That evening, which according to many will be unforgettable and fabulous, the newlyweds have given emotions of joy and peace, pure and fresh, with a touch of understated elegance.

It’s the sunset at the Castle of Chiaramonte and the guests arrive. They are immersed immediately in an elegant and soothing atmosphere with selected music, tasty finger food, a rich cocktail bar, the stunning sunset from the rooftop terrace of the castle and the lovely entertainment of the photoboot where friends and relatives had fun giving a personal photographic memory o the bride and groom. Then all the guests gather to witness an unexpected and touching dance themed on the freedom of love: a large group of dancers, dancing following the rhythm of a suggestive music played live by the DJ.

Soon after, everyone is invited to take a seat in the square. The walls light up slowly of the rainbow flag colors, while on a giant screen placed over the “altar” starts a exciting photos-video projection focused on the love history of the couple and on their love proclamation in New York. In the presence of their witnesses and the three goddesses that represent the Sensuality, Patience and Tenacity of their history, the two husbands trace softly and gently the stages of their love story, marked by moments so sweet as bitter, so joyful as hard. It was a unique ceremony because it was focuses not only on the promise of eternal love, but also on the mutual forgiveness. The all nigh was deliberately supported also by some real punch in the stomach as the unexpected and breathtaking play which took place in the dungeons: the old prisons of the Chiaramonte Castle.

Antonio says:
– “We brought to the altar the essence of our love: the support of our loved ones, parents and relatives, who despite all, they are always getting close. We saw the light and the smile reflected in the eyes and on the lips of our guests. We shared the love, we felt the warmth of the embrace of all our guests, even of those with less tender heart. All the guests were moved and clapped continuously, enchanted by the universal theme of love. We believe that the pictures are worth more than thousand words “-.

“Love, free your heart and soul from fear. Always be free to fully express yourself“

This is why we ask everyone to share and forward our wedding video! Because LOVE IS LOVE. LOVE IS ONE”-.
