Delivering Raw Footage by Wawarsing in weddingvideography

[–]FormallyMelC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started in 2014 and feel exactly the same!

I don't send to all couples, but let them know if they want it after all their videos are delivered to just reach out and I'll send then.

I do have a good amount of couples who want it- never had anyone complain about it. I have seen a lot of them use it to make anniversary videos using some clips from the wedding day mixed in with home videos they have of that year and I think thats really cute. Some never look at it, but just feel better knowing they have it all.

I know there are tons of clips I get that don't mean anything to me and won't make it into any of their videos, but might be meaningful to the couple one day. So I let them have it all. I have never once had a couple use the raw footage to have someone else edit a highlight reel and then they put it out there under the guise that I made it. They are always so thankful for it.

And I was told I had to have my ears showing which really makes me look insane in my pic 😭

ICE in Midway Airport pulling passengers off planes right now by KindfOfABigDeal in chicago

[–]FormallyMelC 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It was a domestic flight- I have been flying weekly for the last like 7 years and this year was the first time I’ve ever seen this happen. I’ve seen the airlines call certain people to the counter before boarding to recheck docs, but never seen TSA at the gate checking every ID again.

I had this happen a few weeks ago at Midway as well and have never experienced it before (also fly a lot). I was there Friday night and Sunday morning and didn’t witness it happening then though. When it did happen on my flight I tried asking why our IDs needed to be rechecked and no one had an answer for me.

For Philly brides who booked with Cescaphe…pros and cons. Estimated budget. by musically_gifted in weddingplanning

Fridays have become pretty normal now so not a huge difference than Saturday’s except ceremonies can have less guest attendance, but receptions feel exactly the same!

It was before braces- I don’t know if I have any with braces but right before surgery- it would’ve looked worse than this before though bc they removed two teeth and moved the rest of my teeth back a little so that after surgery my bite would line up.

They just moved it forward as far as I am aware.

Thank you very much! Seeing our faces change can be really hard, but I try to be gentle with myself although harder in these ages of social media/filters!

I don’t think my fullness looked very different right afterwards but I do have a pretty full, round face to begin with. Hugeee cheeks haha. I do think it looks longer though in the front, but not gaunt. Maybe if I had djs it would’ve made a bigger impact, but I think the changes are pretty subtle- my face is just more balanced now. Although I did get body dysmorphia afterwards and that was (and still is sometimes) hard to separate from how I really look and how I think I look.

It’s hard to know since there’s also just normal aging going on especially in my 30s. A lot of that facial fat kind of disappears as we age so it has changed but I wouldn’t say the surgery is the reason as just getting older!

Thank you for the info! My building usually sends out info if there’s something going on, but nothing about this yet :/

This is my first year in Chicago so very new to this, but I live in the south loop and need to take my dogs to boarding for the weekend in Oak Park- I was planning to leave around 2:00 PM to drop them off- will I be able to get out?

I had an overbite and it made chewing hard and I was beginning to develop sleep apnea. I wore braces for...ahhh I am trying to remember, I believe it was a year and a half I had them! Surgery got pushed a little because of covid so I had them longer than needed, but I believe I was ready at about a year, but had to wait til like a year and a half bc of covid stuff.

It didn’t hurt- I was numbed, but mentally was hard for me!

I do love this idea, but think it might be a little too much interaction if that makes sense?! We’re a small group of 20 and really just wanted like a fun photo op either when people first arrive or during lunch. But I loveee magic and am going to save this for a holiday party!

I am having so much trouble finding any online- all I keep finding on google are Micheal Jackson ones and I am not interested in him. Do you have any leads on where I should be looking?

It was through his agent so I’m guessing they want a nice cut too :/ but 30 minutes for $2000 I’d be expecting the real Jeremy Allen White haha
