I’m sure you’ve all heard stories of bridal couples who have had some small hiccup, or story from their big day in which they wish they could do something differently. Well, that need not be you for your own wedding!
The product development team at Svenstudios have been hard at work building upon our already impressive array of technologies developed in order to better enjoy the memories from your big day. From the developers of Instant wedding photography, robotic wedding ceremonies, a fan favourite odorgraphy and many more – comes ‘Wedding re-LIVE’.
Wedding re-LIVE
With the incredible Wedding re-LIVE service exclusively from SvenStudios, you are able to utilise the very latest in virtual reality and deep fake technologies to not only relive your wedding day – but actually interact with what happens on your day as if it were a computer game.
Using a Virtual Reality headset you basically take control of your own self as recorded on your wedding day, and walk around your wedding venue as if you were a marionette puppeteer. In this way you’re able to talk to your guests – visit areas you never did, or perhaps watch uncle Jim drunkenly meander out the gate as you had heard it was hilarious from your geusts but you missed it as you were busy with your first dance!
How does it work?
Before your day, I will dillegently scan your wedding venue using the latest in 360 degree cameras and mapping hardware in order to produce an intricately detailed 3D map of the entire space. This involves running about with a camera on a pole. The more I scan, the father you can walk around in virtual reality with your self as your ‘game’ character!
I then import all the data I created into the Unreal Engine – which is software that underpins many modern games to a degree that reality and gaming becomes blurred due to the realistic textures I captured while scanning your venue.
Unreal Ed
Finally all I need is to have you, as the bride and/or groom wear a discreet 360 camera on a pole that sticks out of your back, all day. You wont even know it’s there! This camera records your movements, speech patterns and personality in such a way that SvenStudios can now use that data to program how your guests interact with your virtual avatar when using the Wedding re-LIVE service!
The result being a completely immersive, and highly customiseable way to relive your day, in the way you want!
Perhaps you said something stupid to the wait staff? We’ve all been there – Enjoy your meal sir! “YOU TOO!” – god what an idiot! Relive your wedding with Wedding re-LIVE and that sort of thing won’t happen again!

This service of course extends on the already ground breaking 360 degree filming of your wedding ceremony that we offer for free with any wedding we cover as either your wedding photograoher or videographer and we feel as though this is the next logical step in better recording your wedding day and your memories in the most realistic way possible.
Be sure to get in contact to have us utilise this pioneering new service at your own wedding day. You certainly will not regret it – just as long as you don’t look at the date and are willing to have a bit of a laugh at your own expense!
After the big day, brides are presented with a dilemma – what to do with their wedding dress? It’s a tough question; after all, this is probably the most expensive item of clothing you will ever own, but the chances are you are only going to wear it once! Some brides like to hang on to their dresses for sentimental reasons, or to pass it on to younger members of their family. However, there is a third, more dramatic, theatrical, and photogenic option – a ‘Trash the Dress’ photoshoot!
If you’ve not heard of the concept, ‘trashing the dress’ does pretty much exactly what it says. ‘Trashing the Dress’ photos are when the bride (and often the groom) get together for one final shoot after the wedding, and quite literally trash the dress. Whether it’s playing together in the surf at a beach wedding, slinging paint bombs at each other, or even getting wet and wild under a waterfall, trashing the dress is enormous fun, and makes for some spectacular wedding snaps.

Trashing the dress often goes hand to hand with beach or outdoor weddings, as there’s a certain romance and drama in getting up close and personal with nature directly after your nuptials. So if your destination wedding this year involves taking a western Caribbean cruise or hiking up a mountain, why not consider a ‘trash the dress’ wedding photoshoot! Take a look at the following ideas and get inspired!
The best spot for your ‘trash the dress’
Standing in the surf
An absolute classic beach wedding shot, a photo with the couple standing in the surf as the waves roll in (ideally at sunset) is absolutely stunning. If you are going full on in your trash the dress shoot, you can wade in a little further, away from the sure, for extra drama.

In a cloud of color
Smoke and paint bombs are an amazingly photogenic way to create a cloud of color, and shower your shots in joy and vibrancy. Normally used in the Hindu festival of Holi, paint bombs are non-toxic yet stunningly dramatic, surrounding bride and groom in a halo of gorgeous hues, and contrasting beautifully with the sheer white of your dress!

Beneath the waves
If you are getting married by the sea, why not go one step further and get a few photos underneath the waves? Diving underwater and taking some careful, clever shots is an amazing way to create magical memories. The otherworldly vibe of the ocean floor creates an atmosphere that is hard to match, and once again the contrast between turquoise or deep marine blue of the water and the white of your dress makes for an amazing image.

Under a waterfall
If your wedding is outside in the great outdoors, in a forest, a National Park, or up a mountain, why not try and find the nearest cascade and create some truly memorable photos? It is hard to think of a more romantic image than a kiss between bride and groom under the raging torrent of a glittering waterfall, and you can really conjure up some passionate, poignant photos that will stay with you forever.

While smoke and paint bombs are the fun, simple, and easy way to go, why not go full Jackson Pollock and cover each other with splashes of neon paint? For starters, it will give you an incredibly fun experience that might release some of the tension of the big day, plus it will create awesome, color-filled photos.

Wedding days are one of the most highly anticipated moments of one’s life. It’s an extraordinary occasion for lovers to seal their devotion to each other through the time honoured tradition and share it with their families and friends. Every individual has his or her image of what a perfect wedding day for them, even if they are not yet engaged. However, the actual planning and preparation start with the big “Yes!”
Wedding preparation can often be a tiring, confusing, and stressful process. Through this period, the couple would want everything to be the best. From the date of the wedding, the venue, the officiant, the wedding dresses, the music, the food, and the guest list, it must all be according to plan. And one of the necessities on the wedding day is the choice of photographers for the couple and who will prepare the photo booth for the guests so that you can always revisit your wonderful day.
Photobooths provide your guests with souvenirs for them to keep and allow for those who may be a little camera shy still get in your wedding photos. If you want to maximise your investment for the photobooth, then communicate with the photographers early on to avoid these four common photobooth setup mistakes when considering a photobooth for your wedding.
4 PhotoBooth Setup Mistakes to Avoid on Your Wedding Day
The Theme Not Matching the Party
This must be the first aspect to consider hiring a photo booth. Inspect the layout of the printed photos to ensure that it matches well with your wedding motif. It’s best to request that their physical booth will also back the theme and ambience of the venue. Otherwise, it may be out of place and can ruin your perfect day.
Most photobooth suppliers offer a selection of templates for the printouts provided – if they don’t mention it simply ask and they will be more than keen on showing you some selections.

The Location Not Being Ideal
The photobooth must be located somewhere in the venue that everyone can easily see and conveniently attend. This can be achieved by finding the optimum space where people can unavoidably pass by it and be encouraged to have their pictures taken.
Although photo booths have a high appeal to most people, some do not have that much inclination to voluntarily walk up to the booth’s location. This is why it is still good to consider the ideal positioning of the photo booth!
An Attendant Not Being Present
A photobooth with an attendant present makes it more managed and organised. And beside or nearby the photobooth, a presentable guest book can also be available so that guests can fill it up with their best wishes for the lovely couple while waiting for their turn at the photobooth – or sticking in their printed copy of the photos they just took.
The SvenStudios photobooth somes with quite an array of props and the area can be messy without someone nearby tasked with cleaning it up – an attendant would also be tasked with making sure the booth is running correctly and is well stocked with paper and ink.

The Time Slot Not Fitting the Party Activities
Because photobooths are only hired for a limited period, it is best to put them in a time slot wherein guests will be wandering about the venue waiting for the bride and the groom. Some photobooths are mistakenly scheduled when the party has a highly engaging activity. In the end, the photographers get sidelined and gain the most minor attraction to the audience. If the photobooth is not maximised during its hired time, then the moments of your guests will be significantly reduced to the ones taken by the hired photographers.
The SvenStudios photobooth tends to be hired out for the whole reception – we dont like putting an hourly limit on our bridal couples!

Although your party will not be that affected by one or two of the basic mistakes we’ve mentioned above, it would be relaxing to know that your guests can find another things to do and enjoy while celebrating with you on your very special day. If you want to have the most memorable day of your life, be sure to consider the information on photobooth setup mistakes outlined above so that you can reduce one stress point on your big day!
These photobooth setup mistakes are things you need not worry about with Sven Studios and our professional photobooth hire in Adelaide. We offer award winning photobooth services that will help you craft the precious memories of your wedding day.
In a person’s lifetime, there are special days that are noteworthy. Among these special days is the wedding day, memorable not only for the couple but their loved ones. It’s a union of two people in love with each other, a lifelong commitment that entails laughter, joy, sickness, challenges—for better or worse.
Since it’s an extraordinary day, it’s essential to have the day captured through the best possible photos. These photos will let the couple reminisce about their special day in all the years to come. For this reason, it’s essential that you prepare well.
10 Tips to Get Good Wedding Photos
What exactly should be done to get good wedding photos, however? Read on below.
#1: Hire a Professional
Of course, this is the first obvious step. If you don’t get a professional photographer, chances are you wont get good wedding photos! It’s best to scout for multiple talented photographers, and you can judge the quality of their work with their portfolio. Keep doing this until you narrow down your choices before finally choosing a photographer for your special day.
It’s also best that you meet them first before choosing them for your day. For them, it’s pretty much a job interview, and they would be bringing samples of their work to convince you that they’re the right person for the job.

#2: Check Their Packages
If your photographer is a professional wedding photographer with a good portfolio, they may offer packages for clients. A wedding photography package usually includes how many hours that’s included for your day, as well as any physical products such as albums or prints. Aside from that, it can also cover your photographer’s additional fees, such as any travel expenses or any special expenses they may have to do something unique.
You can also check the number of staff that will be involved in the event. If you’re getting a large studio, you can have more than one photographer. One will be taking photos of the newlyweds, and another will be taking photos of the guests, and so on. This is very handy if you want multiple aspects of your special day shot in photos.

#3: Sign a Contract
If you want everything to go smoothly as planned, contract signing must be done. This way, everything will be done by the book, also serving as your ultimate form of security should someone try to go out of bounds that may violate the contract.
Signing a contract also allows you to have legal recourse in case something happens on the day such as the photographer not showing up, or some other disaster.

#4: Practice Your Poses
As a photographer, I hate posing people it always feels forced and unnnatural which is obvious in the final photos I take. So when I say ‘practice your poses’ in order to get good wedding photos, what I’m actually saying is to treat your photoshoots like a date and do stuff you would usually do on a date. Walking hand to hand around pretty places, whisper sweet nothings into each others ears and simply make each other smile.
There’s nothing worse than turning people into mannequins!

#5: Consider Making a Moodboard
A mood board is a collection of photos that you can use as source material for your projects. Moodboards, despite being a collection of random images, have several things in common. Moodboards can be similar in themes present in the sourced photos or their mere colours. Pinterest is a modern way to put something together in this regard.
Since mood boards are used for projects, a wedding photo shoot is not different. If you have a mood board set for your wedding photoshoot, you can kind of direct the aethetic towards what you’re after a lot better!
Checking back to point one on this list – you’ve probably selected your professional phtographer based on their previous work, so hopefully you like what they have produced in the past in their style. Try not to dictate the style you want them to create, but rather trust in their own artistic style and allow them to produce what you liked in their work in the first place.

#6: Choose Accessible Locations
During your wedding photoshoot, you don’t want to spend a significant amount of time travelling from one location to another. It can be challenging if you and your photographer if you’re spending time you should be shooting simply getting to places. Sometimes to get good wedding photoos you need to spend as much time as possible to get it right and you cant do that in a car.
To prevent this from happening, you will need to be smart when choosing locations for your wedding photoshoot. You can still choose to have your photoshoot at several different areas, but it would be best to be in close proximity to each other. To make things easier, you can always have your photoshoot in one location, and plenty of Adelaide wedding venues certainly allow for this!

#7: Use ‘Toss’ Items
Generally, ‘toss’ items in a wedding are only seen when a flower girl tosses flower petals along the aisle as the bride walks behind her. However, you can also choose to incorporate toss items in your wedding photoshoot.
Toss items add flair to the photos since they can also be viewed as decorations. When thrown in the air, toss items can also result in laughs, which elicits joy.
Other props also help here such as smoke, or water from a hose to mimic rain, even sparklers! They all come together to make some unique shots.

#8: Get Competent Makeup Artists
Looking your best is very important—it’s your wedding photoshoot after all. Since it’s a photoshoot, you must get makeup artists competent enough for you to work with. Like your photographer, they are also most likely to have a portfolio, especially online. Instagram is a common way to select a favourite makeup artist.
You should also not forget about makeup retouching. They can provide you with it, but it will also be good for you to pack backup makeup just in case.

#9: Create a Schedule
Since it’s your wedding photoshoot day, it’s good to have the day planned ahead of time. While there is a chance that it might not be followed, it can give you an idea of your window and how long the time should be spent in an activity during the photo shoot.

#10: Relax and Have Fun during the Shoot
Having an unpleasant mood during the day of the shoot itself can lead to bad photos. In order to get good wedding photos, you should not sweat about the little things, such as a shoot relocation, because of external factors and things you cannot control such as rain.
Your photographer will be the one to keep you on schedule since it’s what you paid them for. It’s essential to get your best looks on your wedding photoshoot day, so keep in mind to have fun!

Prepare for Your Wedding Consultation With These Easy Steps
Make sure you have a pen and paper handy so you can go over what you have talked about. If you prefer taking digital notes, a digital notepad will work, too! It’s easy to let the excitement carry you away and cause a few or more details to slip through the cracks. Take plenty of notes so you can look over what you discussed, especially if you’ll be comparing different wedding photography packages.

Prepare to Potentially Put Some Money Down
If you end up falling in love with the photographer and want to secure them for your wedding date, prepare to potentially pay a deposit to secure their photography services. The best photgoraphers book out months or years in advance – so it’s best to lock whomever you like the best as soon as possible.

Outline a List of Questions
The consultation is the perfect time to ask all the questions you may be wondering. Bring them along with your notepad so you cover all your bases.
Take the meeting as an opportunity to look over the photographer’s previous prints, albums, and canvases. This may prompt new questions and ideas you hadn’t considered before. You might even discover some styles and poses you didn’t add to your inspiration board before! Speaking of inspiration boards…

Build an Inspiration Board Ahead of Time
Is there an incredible shot you feel inspired by or a photography style you’d like to see in your wedding photos? Most couples do, which is why it’s valuable to build an inspiration board ahead of time. pintrest is purpose built for just such a list. This not only allows you to determine if they are a good fit for you but also lets the photographer get a sense of your personality and style.
Do not be scared to offer requests or recommendations. Most photographers enjoy working with couples that have a lot of unique ideas. That being said, keep in mind that photographers typically already have a distinct creative style. If you’re looking for light, dreamy wedding photos, someone who specializes in dramatic editorial-style shots may not be the best fit! You’ll get the best results if your vision is somewhat aligned with the styles they have worked with in the past.

Review the Photographer’s Full Portfolio
An excellent way of understanding your potential photographer’s wedding photography style is asking to see past weddings they have shot. Most photographers have an online portfolio, but some are also able to bring along wedding albums that will offer you a sense of how and what they shoot.

One last piece of advice: Do not be afraid to ask questions. You want to make sure you are hiring the best photographer for your wedding day. Inquire about the way they plan wedding shoot days, how they manage problems or handle cancellations, what equipment they use, and so on.
