Graphistudio Wedding and Engagement Albums by gavin conlan photography Ltd

Today this blog post features the product videos I filmed and edited showcasing the beautiful wedding and engagement albums on offer to my clients from the amazing Graphistudio.  All albums are hand made in Venice, Italy and come with a lifetime warranty on the binding for each album.

As a professional wedding photographer I cannot stress enough the importance of having a professionally printed wedding album as your lasting reminder of the most beautiful day of your lives, a keepsake, a family heirloom that as each year passes its personal value becomes even more priceless. 

With all these Graphistudio wedding albums, apart from being handmade and coming with a lifetime warranty on the binding they're printed with the very latest in HD print technology which no other print/album company out there can achieve.

I really hope watching these videos helps you to understand the importance of having a wedding album professionally produced for you, alongside your wedding rings and the vows you made each other on your wedding day your wedding album is your only remember of what an amazing day you had.

We live in a digital age, where digital products have a very short life span - take Apple products for example in the space of 5 years they've removed DVD/CD drives from their MacBook and iMac range and now they don't even come with standard USB ports.  

Your wedding album will be accessible for the next 100 years....... so the question is how can you not have a wedding album right???   

Most people want digital files (only photographs once they've been professionally printed) these days so they can upload them to facebook/instagram/twitter etc... thats fine, here at gavin conlan photography Ltd you receive web ready versions optimised for social media as standard alongside your high resolution digital files.  

and I'll leave you with this quote from the Vice President of Google;

If you have a picture you really care about, you’d better print it”

Wedding Photography at The Fennes | Fay and Wesley | gavin conlan photography Ltd | Essex Wedding Photographer

What's the perfect way to start a week?? Well for me it would be photographing a wedding of an awesome couple....

Oh hang on a minute that's exactly what happened this past Monday with the wedding of Fay and Wesley at The Fennes in Essex, The Fennes is a lovely wedding venue and is only 15mins from where I live so it's nice to do a wedding so close to home.

On arrival at The Fennes I was presented with a beautiful crisp day, frost on the grass and a temperature that seemed to good to be true for mid November.  After photographing the grounds I made my way into the main house to meet up with Fay, within a few minutes of being in the bridal suite unpacking my kit to photograph her dress I heard one of the best one liners from her Nan which had me in stitches.  From that moment on it was non stop laughter, fun, great food and taking awesome photos - I was made to feel really welcome and I feel blessed to have been given the honour to capture their wedding photographs.      

"If anyone is thinking of booking you as a photographer, I would not hesitate to recommend you! You made our day truly fantastic, you felt like another guest and I wouldnt have changed that for the world, thank you so much" - beautiful words from Fay and Wesley - thank you!

Leading up to their wedding I asked Fay and Wesley a handful of questions about their particular wedding theme and other wedding details, here's their answers;

1. What is the theme and colours of your wedding?

There isn't really a theme in particular! 

2. How did you come up with your theme?

My partner had fallen in love a blue Ted Baker suit and I opted for a champagne over ivory gown so added gold hints here and there, But opted for wintery flower arrangements.

3. Please list the name and website of the wedding pros you’ve hired:

(You need to check these suppliers out because they're AWESOME!!)

Wedding Venue(s) - The Fennes

Photographer - Gavin Conlan (gavin conlan photography Ltd)

4. How did the two of you meet?

We met through a mutual friend, Kiel. Who suggested we add each other on facebook as he thought we were pretty similar , within a matter of a few weeks we were seeing each other and within the year we lived together! 

5. How long did you spend planning your wedding and have you any budget advice?

We actually booked it one year in advance, but spent probably one week condensed solid booking everything! Although I did leave the ceremony music to the night before - however it paid off well as I found, what I thought to be the perfect music! Budget wise - you'll spend more than you think, there will be more things pop up to pay the closer it gets to the wedding! My advice is don't let anyone (venders/venues) talk you in or out of anything you do or don't want! Know your mind and stick to it :)

6. What are you most looking forward to on your wedding day?

I was most looking forward to actually seeing my partner waiting at the aisle for me! I wasn't nervous until I saw him at that moment! But soon as he held my hand I felt relaxed and took everything in. 

7. Any other details I should know about?

First Dance Song - Sam Smith - Lay me down.
