Custom Designed Acrylic Pictures
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
Norwegian couple Gry and Jørn have just chosen their image for their their custom designed Acrylic Picture.
We just love these contemporary Acrylic's - the image is printed directly on the Acrylic with the whites becoming transparent and then picked out against the white background.
Gry and Jørns bold image will be printed on a large 10mm thick Acrylic 90x60cm which is then mounted on a larger black board giving it a size of 105x75cm.
It is going to look amazing and we look forward to posting an image of it hanging on their wall.

Wedding Book
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
The front cover of our latest Wedding Book design showing Jun Yi and Mervin who held their wedding in London, we are pleased with this cover image which they also used for their 'Thank You' cards.
It had been raining in London all day and luckily just as we were to start our portrait session the rain stopped, we found this overleaf walkway which was rather dark and then in an opening the sun momentry shone through and framed them perfectly.
Their wedding book has 30 laminated pages (60 sides) showing 107 images in a mixture of colour and black & white, some sides hold 4 images and on others just 1 - as shown in the slideshow. |

Weddings in Sweden
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
Recent figures from the Swedish Church show that 2008 will probably be a record year for weddings in Sweden, 37,199 couples were married in the first 8 months* compared to 47,898 for all of 2007.
Since 2006 the majority of weddings held are civil service rather than church weddings.
The trend being that couples are leaving the local Town Hall service and are arranging their own special service at a location of their choice.
We have photographed a large number of these on-location weddings all around Sweden and they have been fantastic.
Pictures show weddings in June: Katarina & Dalu's wedding in southern Sweden and Lisa & Ian's wedding at Borgholm castle on the island of Öland.

Exclusive Matted Wedding Album
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
The front cover of our latest matted album design from London couple Alexandra and Martin's wedding in August, these hand made panoramic albums are very special and are our favourites.
We chose this image of Alexandra & Martin and converted it into black & white - we feel it gives a bold and striking cover. The photograph is then mounted under clear acrylic which gives it a contemporary feel, the side and back are covered in premium black leather.
We were very pleased with the design, the album includes a mixture of colour and black and white images mounted under black mats with a white beveled edge, the corners are protected with silver metal corners - this album also includes a flip page that opens up to a 3 page spread.
