Photo and Wedding Albums for the Modern Couple!

When my folks were married they hauled around a HUGE wedding album to show family and friends. They would carry this 8 pound collection of photos around in the back seat of their car when they were invited over for a family gathering. That was over 35 years ago. Only 10 years ago when my wife and I got married, we too purchased one of those heavy albums from a great local photographer.Throughout these past 10 years, we might have taken the album with us once or twice to show immediate family.(Of course you realize this was before the social networking days and online photo sharing.

Now days everyone has a smart phone or portable digital device that holds all of our beautiful images to bring everywhere, to show anyone. And that's great.

Lets face it though.... we are showing the very best of our Wedding on a 3-4 inch screen? Really?

Where is the OMG factor?

Well, I figured... If you really wanted to WOW your friends and family, why not purchase a Wedding Album thats about 80% lighter, The colors pop off of the page and its on a 10 x 10 sized Binding. Check this out...

This Photo Album above is a 10 x10 Lay Flat Photo Album with my signature high gloss metallic cover and seamless binding. It weighs in at about 1 pound and believe me when I tell you, THIS is how all weddings should be displayed. Plus every page inside is Metallic coated to allow the contrast of every image to fly right off the page. Its truly like displaying a 10 inch LED photo monitor to your friends. It is indeed a beautiful sight. Lets take a look inside...

So if your getting married and thinking about smaller packages, better deals and saving where ever you can. That is the smart way to feed your budget yet limit your ideas. Remember... Images and moments like these come around once in a lifetime. You can decide to show off your wedding on a 3 inch screen or ... you can still "go big and beautiful" without looking like your stuck in time warp! :-)

These awesome albums also come leather bound with cameo cover or matte finished with a full sized image on the cover. If you'd like to see the album in person, lets setup a face to face and I'd be proud to show you the fit and finish of this product.

Kristi and Kevin Bucci.

When I first met you guys in person, It was at a Dunkin Doughnuts off of Central Ave. On a Father's Day I believe no less. With all the uncertainty that usually surrounds Photography Consultations and intricate wedding details; One things was clear you guys were in love from the moment you approached me. No uncertainty there. I was really pleased to see a couple so into each other and so down to earth. Its a rare thing to see in the world we live in. Also as a photographer you both were so willing to try out and capture sooo many different moments and ideas we had. You both are a Creative Photographers DREAM COUPLE!

I wish you both an extremely exciting and magical marriage.

It was great to be apart of it.

I created this video just for you, your whole family and friends!

Another few days and you'll be having your Photo Gallery with all of your images for all to see Live.

Keep an eye on your email... its coming!

Kristi and Kevin Together Forever!

Its been a while... I am sorry... I've been busy!

Typing on this blog is like pulling teeth for me. Its so difficult to set enough time aside to write a meaningful article, and yet still find time for family, 2 full time careers and (dare I say) self interests. So far this year since the first of January, We've had 2 very successful Bridal shows, Wedding and Portrait bookings up the Wazoo (yep I said it), and of course constant hard work building a business. Its interesting, that it is so easy to dismiss the sheer amount of effort needed to sustain a photography business. Especially photography. Lets face it, everyone owns a camera. Anyone can capture a wedding or an event... or even do portrait work. But I've found its not the camera that makes the photographer... its the photographer itself. Its the learned skill and instinctive passion to make it happen and not miss a beat. So I say why worry about business when what I do is so life full filling!? Moving along... You know I take alot of pictures of my son. My wife always gets mad at me for capturing great moments, BUT I never print them out or sharing them in print form with family. Its always about sharing it on Facebook. Well, the truth is good quailty prints are a bit pricey. Sure I can go to Walmart or a 1 hour photo hut, but Frankly... my family is worth to me more than a less than acceptable 50 cent 4x6 print. My family desrves better. The image itself deserves better. This is why I've dedicated my time during my photography business and during my free time to creating images that I wouldn't mind looking at 10 years later and still appreciate. I want timeless moments. I want Classy moments. And most importantly I want meaningful moments, posed and candid. Above is my son, Eli. For the firt time he accepted posing instructions from his professional photographer, (his Daddy). I wanted a serious facial expression and ... I got it. What a proud moment for me. And what an amazing time for the both of us. Did I mention he's not even 2 years old yet? Moments like these will live with me forever, as a photographer and most importantly as a Father.

A Shameless Plug... why not!

I've always wondered how people would feel about a small company plugging and self promoting their own business to the point of being annoying. Not that I feel our promotions aren't helpful or anoying. On the contrary, I feel our promotions and deals are very helpful and encouraging to potentional clients and good friends of mine interested in having Professional Photography in their lives. Word of Mouth is typically always the best form of promotion, but self promoting can't be bad either. So with that in mind... here is our shameless plug. Sit down with me for a photographic consaultation and if you decide to book with us for your 2012 wedding by March 31st 2012. You will receive a Free Engagement Photo Shoot included in your package deal. Any size, any shape package. You can customize it all. Sky's the limit. So there you go. Not a bad deal. But most importantly ....incredibly helpful; Especially if you've always wanted to have an engagement shoot done but didn't have it in the budget for one. Its truly just another way I am attempting to build my business that consciously takes into account "real" people, hard working people, who have earned the right to have a Professional Photographer at any event for any reason without the crazy costs.

A Moment of Clarity

I've realized after 12 years of working in Photography, I've been thinking about this business the wrong way. I've seen Professionals and Amateurs fight and struggle to get their name out there. They are fighting to be somebody in this industry. They are fighting for a piece of the pie. Recently I've come to a moment of clarity about myself, my business and what Photo Phrame Photography is all about. My photography is about family, its about fun, and its about working your own personality (in this case my personality) into everything I do in this industry. I seem to have built so many fantastic connections with great people such as new friends, family and clients. In the end, its about creating that business family. Its about building relationships that will endure my lifetime. Those relationships have made and will continue to make Photo Phrame Photography successful. So I wanted to thank all those who continue to make my little photography business so great. I totally appreciate that. Here is too a great 2012 Wedding Season!

We are Branching out! They say marketing is 40% of a growing and sustainable business. I do believe that!
