With Video Mapping, Destination Weddings Can Happen Anywhere
Briefly

During their wedding reception in New York, Jonathan and Madison Bigos Dubin created an immersive experience for their guests by using video mapping to transport them to Upper Antelope Canyon in Arizona. The couple intended to evoke the feeling of celebrating inside the canyon, close to their honeymoon destination in Utah. Guests were captivated by the stunning visuals, which transitioned to a New York City skyline finale, fostering an electric atmosphere as attendees danced to a rendition of Jay-Z's "Empire State of Mind."
"I had to remind myself that I was in a ballroom because the atmosphere was so immersive," said Hutton Bailey, a guest who flew in from Chicago.
Mr. Dubin said the images of Upper Antelope Canyon were intended to evoke the feeling of celebrating inside the canyon, which is near the resort where the couple would be honeymooning in Utah.
The finale was aerial views of the Empire State Building as the D.J. and a saxophonist played a rendition of Jay-Z's Empire State of Mind, while many of their 250 guests sang and danced.
The couple accomplished this sleight of hand through video mapping, or video projections that effectively paint large surfaces like walls and ceilings.
