Images - Albums


Talk about HOT... This weekend was HOT. Got some albums designs done.. Which made me think about some questions we get. How do we choose our album is a big one. Well We have done lots of albums in the past and we generally get pretty close to what you would like. Normally we have 2 or 3 pictures you might not like in your album, and we change those. We always allow you to preview your album before you place your final order.
People are amazed sometime the images we capture from their weddings to use for the albums, Stained glass, the outdoor view of the church, the Unity Candle, etc.. We try to, as we are photographing your wedding, capture as many detail images as we can. You might even see a few "Blurry" images in your previews, that while they are not good pictures they make great backgrounds when edited (changing contrast, brightness, etc). Images that are blurry are not accidents all the time, We call them SOFT FOCUS.. and they are a useful part of wedding albums. We even do some that have intentional streaks in them at receptions. We are not sure how your album will be designed until we see the images.. We have a pretty good idea, but always leave the creativity options open.
We also will accept a few images from you to put in your album, We do reserve the right not to use any of your images though if they do not meet our standards.
This coming weekend we are doing something rare.. We are atending a WEDDING as a GUEST.. It happens, and it is nice to leave the camera's home and enjoy the party. It would be unfair to the couple and us to shoot their wedding. I will be honest from the weddings we have attended as guests, it is hard to not to be involved with the pictures, suggesting poses, etc.. But they have professionals and they can handle their job. My job is to find a nice location to sit, close to the food and bar (okay I don't drink anything harder than Diet Pepsi but still nice to be close) with a good view of the dance floor, and just relax and enjoy our friends and family.
