Closing the Distance - It's the Internet to the Rescue
Your wedding day is something special that you should be able to share with all of your family and friends. Inevitably however, with great distances often splitting families and friends apart, there will always be those who will end up missing the event. Whether it's due to distance, illness or some other unforeseeable reason.
Thankfully with a little bit of technological know how, missing the wedding no longer needs to be a certainty when you stream your wedding live via webcam online.
A solution that allows anyone with a computer to view your wedding as it happens, even family and friends that live overseas, grandparents or others who may be too frail or ill to attend. All you need is a camcorder or webcam, and a laptop with an internet connection.
To ensure the broadcast works in the best possible way, attention needs to be given to the type of equipment being used that would best work for your situation.
If the wedding is being held in a wide open venue with many in attendance, you may wish to go the professional equipment route with a full camera and microphone in order to best pick up your voices and the voice of your officiate.
If the wedding is a smaller and more intimate affair, as long as the device can be placed near the officiate, a simple laptop with a built in webcam and microphone should suffice. Be sure to practice in the venue before the actual ceremony to ensure that all of the equipment is working properly, that there is sufficient light, and that sound and the camera quality is top notch.
With so many new technological advances in existence today, even the most distant guest can attend your wedding. No matter what the circumstances - it's the internet to the rescue!
