Backgorund info: I shot a very conservative/religious wedding. The couple was young and fun and so was about 1/2 the guest list. The other 1/2 was older, conservative types.
The couple and all people doing speeches mentioned/referenced God often. At the begining of the reception there was one young drunk girl who kept telling me to keep my eye on her because she's always the life of the party. Fine. Fast forward to the "Guest Comments" and I'm cruisin' the room and stumble upon her. She is clearly an attention seeker. A few people at the table said their congrats and the mic was passed to her. She asked "What am I supposed to say?!" and someone told her to give them some marriage advice. She then proceeded to tell the bride to make sexual references etc... you get the idea. Now, in reality it's funny footage if you detatch yourself from the situation. People's reactions to her were even more funny. My question: Would you include it in the "guest comments" section?? I already know what I plan on doing, but I am curious as to what most people would do/ have done in this situation? Thanks! |

I always send the couple the link so they can watch it and decide for themselves.
I give them the option of having the questionable footage included on thier DVD only and the parents get the "G" rated version. |
This is a decision you need to present to the B&G. Tell them their friend made some off-color comments and ask if they want it included. No big deal.

I would leave it out. One day their children will watch this video.

Often times I give the clients a 'Bride and Groom Special Edition' DVD for this very reason. Me personally?... I WOULD want this footage of my friends being fun and crazy. But it's nice to make it separate from the other DVDs that their family and friends get.
On their DVD is just tack on a section in the menu labeled 'Bride and Groom Extras'. |

Another option... make it an 'easter egg' so they can watch it only if they want to.

Ohhhhhh......I get it! You mean add it on to a video about 10 mins AFTER the last clip, thereby giving the impression that the video is over, but in fact there is one more clip. Am I right? |
Google 'DVD Easter Egg' and you will see that it is simply a hidden button on a menu (i/e No Highlight) that you get to with button routing. Several Hollywood movies have hidden extras available by accessing the extras through 'Easter Eggs'

I had a groomsman use a lot of profanty in an interview. I offered to cut it out or bleep the bad words. The B&G thought it would be funny to bleep the bad words so they choose to go that way.

I like that option, would make it very funny AND since the B&G know this girl, they will be able to fill in the blanks.
I've done Easter eggs in the past too, and people usually love the fact that they have something hidden in their DVD, even if it's a few bloopers. |
