At Weddings By Carue, we’re always down for a party. This includes showers, graduations, and holiday parties. We work year-round to make sure our clients are happy and ready to celebrate no matter what the occasion.
When it comes to planning, most events can be broken down into a simple checklist: venue, invitations, activities, food, and most importantly – guests. Below are a few tips that will make your bash Santa worthy.
When the day is over and the edits are finished, as photographers we are absolutely thrilled to be able to show you the way we saw your wedding. In a way, we see it as our duty to become the narrator of your fairy tale, just for a day. We hope that your photos are a reflection of how seriously we take that responsibility. Many times we see couples hesitate when we encourage purchasing a wedding album, primarily because of the cost. We wanted to take this opportunity to explain why these albums are so important and provide some alternatives that will keep your celebration accessible for you to enjoy, instead of being tucked away on thumb drive.
The Wedding Album
Albums are made for more than the tops of coffee tables. They are made to be an experience. We recommend an album to all of our clients because it is the best way to tell a story. When we create an album, we curate the images to take the viewer through the entire day. From make-up and veils, to first glances, to the beading on the centerpieces, a wedding album peppers the details into the big moments. This fluidity from one image to the next is a professional technique that can take many hours to complete. Providing this service allows us to preserve the integrity of the photos and the experience of our clients when viewing the images.
Photo Collages
Photo collages are like a mini album, highlighting several special moments in a single image. These can be composed of as few as three photos, creating a highlight reel to hang with family pictures or on a nightstand. Photographers specialize in pairing specific images in order to create movement within the larger print and letting the pictures tell the story.
Wall Collages
The traditional prints hung on a wall are a classic way to remember your celebration. Photographs can then be paired with detailed images of the rings, the bride’s shoes, or even a shadow box with a dried corsage. Physical elements add texture and depth to an otherwise flat wall display, telling the story of the day. Getting images printed on canvas or adding photo collages along side traditional prints can also make the display more unique.
Gifts
Weddings are sometimes a rare opportunity to take photos of family members who are not often together. Getting professional quality prints of those images to share with family members is another way to get the most from your photo package, as well as emphasize your gratitude for your family sharing in your day.
After reviewing your images, please speak with us about how you want to tell your story. By knowing your intentions for the images and the space you have to display them, we will be able to advise you on the best way to purchase your prints. We look forward to assisting you in remembering your wedding for years to come.
