Crowdsourcing

Another trend taking over wedding receptions across the nation is crowdsourcing. A practice usually used by start-up companies, it can also be very useful for weddings because it means you can crowdsource wedding photos and videos using the likes of WhatsApp and Instagram.

Aerial photography and videography

A bird’s eye view of your wedding day is a great way to remember everything. Book a wedding drone with your licensed photographer or videographer and expect dramatic photos guaranteed to take your breath away.
