Once again, TLC is on the search for video footage for their series, ‘Wild Weddings’. Please read through the following request and feel free to contact them if your footage fits their needs….

Oh, and don’t forget to share your ‘Wild Wedding’ stories in my comments…I know we can all appreciate a little humor after the fact…

The Learning Channel (TLC) is doing a new show entitled “Wild Weddings.” We are producing six one-hour episodes of the program, which will begin airing this November. I appreciate any help you can give us with our project.

This show features a wide range of wedding videos, including funny wedding moments, wedding disasters or things going wrong, unusual weddings and any other material that could fall under the “wedding” umbrella (proposals, bachelor and/or bachelorette parties, vendor problems caught on tape). This could include cake fights, people having too much to drink, accidents and falls during the ceremony or any other crazy moments caught on video.

We are contacting wedding professionals around the world to solicit videotapes for our show. We are paying competitive licensing fees for the videos. We will pay a license fee to the owner to use it in our program and we will also pay the bride and groom for their cooperation i n the story.

In short, we have money to spend and we’re looking for material. We need approximately 300 videos by the end of August in order to produce our shows, so we’d like to hear from people as soon as possible. We are seeking worldwide, all media rights in perpetuity for the material as it is used in our show. I urge your couples to call me with any questions or for more
information.
Any screening tapes can be sent to my attention at:
