Having had a small wedding myself, one in which I invited 72 of my closest friends and family and 72 people arrived ready to celebrate the biggest day of my life together. Three years since that magnificent day but not one regret in the small nature of the day, it was the photos and memories that I hold most dear to me to this day. This is one memory though I would love to have recreated with my GoPro.Thinking about hiring up that big time wedding photographer in your area for the big day? Not in this day and age. Just grab a bottle of the finest Fireball whiskey and that Go Pro you got from your parents last Christmas and you are set to have one of the most epic mementos of all time. Lets be honest, how cool is it that the filmmaker here got that many family members to partake in the little project? I think I spotted what looks to be the parents of the bride hitting the bottle twice.
Congrats to Brian and Allie, the now famous couple that finished off the bottle of whiskey on the biggest day of their lives!

"replacing your wedding photographer..." Seriously? Allow me to stick to the beautifully photographed, artistically edited images that tell the story of a couples' day in full...Not just the drunk parts of the day. You wanna GoPro? Best saved for the first night! Honestly, I presume the tone of your (slightly difficult to read) post is sarcastically based? Difficult to tell. Who wants to swig from a bottle as used by 72 of your nearest and dearest? Great post ;)
Strong on the sarcastic side of course, I would never replace the quality of a wedding photographer with a GoPro and a bottle of whiskey though it is a pretty unique idea which is why I thought it pertinent to post. The things these kids come up with these days! Ha
72 people is considered small?!? What a great way to make us internet trolls feel even more insecure.
The average guests to a wedding in the US is about 180 so looking gat 72 people is quite small in comparison. I have never personally been to one with less than 200.
That's interesting to hear Andrew! I've attended a dozen non-religious weddings here in the PNW and most of them were under 30 people. I know wedding photogs probably have a skewed experience (as they're mostly hired for larger events), I wonder if this number varies greatly regionally.
Dang! Might be due to the much smaller more local family towns all around the PNW and the nature of that area is to be small and quaint vs the big cities that I have gone to weddings. Having been in the midwest the weddings are always a big deal around here. Thats crazy though the numbers for attendees are lower out there.
I like the idea, seems like a great bonus feature on the wedding video Blu-Ray. I'm just disappointed they chose such a god-awful whiskey [sic].
They forgot the drones to replace the whole party
Definitely going to make this an add on for sure. wish I saw this before this last weekend's wedding they would have added it.
. . . And now everyone is wondering why they have cold sores the next day. Okay someone fess up, who was the culprit!
koodies
I wouldn't say replacing the photographer, this is some cool footage but definitely not the main coverage, I would use it as complementary B-Roll on the final movie, but that is all, it is pretty cool tho!
Does anyone know how the GoPro latched onto the bottle? any special accessory?
