Different ways to display
wedding photographs
We hire photographers and videographers and spend a lot of money to make memories of our special
day and preserve them for life. In the days of film photography, photographers would provide small
5x7 (usually) prints and you would then have to buy and create your own album. Gone are those
days as new and creative ways are being explored to find an apt medium to display and share your
photographs. In this article, we will discuss different ways in which you can display or share your
wedding photographs with your family and friends.Customised albums
These are still an integral part of the
whole wedding photography experience.
Even though clients have moved on
from old albums where you could print
and slot your photographs in pockets.
These new albums can be custom made
to your taste right to the very cover of
the album. You can choose the size of
the album, the cover style and material
of the album, the quality of the page,
the number of pages and also check the
design and overall layout of the album
before it goes to print. Many printingpresses also provide archival papers etc
which are guaranteed to last for a much
longer time than normal photo paper
or indigo papers. Studios sometimes
bundle these albums and provide an
attractive price so that people are drawn
to this. Parents of the bride and groom
also tend to prefer a more physical form
of viewing than other digital formats.Websites
This is the newest and most creative
trend at the moment in India. Creating
customised website makes it easierfor the people at the weddings to view
the images later on from any part of
the world. The wedding photographer
mostly packages a website deal to his/
her photography package and once he/
she is done with the image editing, he/
she uploads the images on a website.
The design and layout of the website
again, can be approved by the bride and
groom beforehand. There are certain
positives of having a website. Firstly,
you can view it from any corner of the
world and you can access it from all the
devices that you carry, without having to
carry a heavy album around. The images
are stored in the cloud, which makes it
much more safer compared to a physical
album. If any of your relatives living
abroad wish to see it, they can do that
as soon as you share the website link,
unlike an album, you can also change
the design and layout of a website
as many times you want etc. The only
disadvantage is that if you buy a domain
and create a website, you will have
to incur a monthly or yearly charge for
the rest of your life. Even though this is
nominal, it can become a pain later on in
life. You can work around this issue by
opting for a free website.FaCebook and soCial media
The easiest and quickest way to
share your special wedding days is to
use social media. All the friends in your
list and all your followers will be able
