Your big day...

We will meet with the bride and groom well in advance to discuss your requirements. Ever couple are different, some want photos at the house showing the bride in preparation. Some folks only want photos at the service. Many couples want the full day covered - from beginning to end. That is why we need to meet to fully explore exactly what you require..

Events & Assignments...

We also cover events such as; open days, shows, sports, public announcements, press releases, workshops, training, awards, celebrations, etc.

A range of services ...

Many people now want more than just photos. We can produce audio visual slideshows of the images - saved to DVD - to post to 'Granny in Australia' - or to send to every guest. We can produce a wedding web site, including galleries and / or slideshows.

Slideshows

The modern version of the 35mm 'Slideshows' with accompaning naration or music are now called 'Audio Visuals'. These are digital images with narration or music, that are played on a computer, and often projected on to a big screen. using either 'Pictures to EXE', or' Pro Show', both of which produce an exe file that can be launched on any PC.

Slideshows are automated galleries that show each image for a few seconds, fades out and then fades in the next image. They can be viewed a number of ways; on the Internet, on a computer or on a DVD or Playstation. When music is included, the size of the slideshow can become quite large and therefore a balance between size and quality has to be struck.

For the Internet the size of a slideshow can be up to 10 - 20 MB, however broadband users can easily and quickly download much larger slideshows, sometimes up to 50 - 90 0MB. When slideshows are produced for a computer or DVD the size doesn't matter and, as a result, the images can be of the highest quality and the music can be of 'CD quality'.

Example Slideshows

We offer below a number of slideshows for you to view. Their purpose is twofold; first they illustrate the type of slideshows that can be produced, and secondly, they illustrate our photography. The exe's file have been zipped to allow for easy downlaoding. Use Winzip or Winrar to uncompress them. All of these zip files have been checked with up to date (and fully registered) Anti Virus and Anti Spyware software. They have been prepared in either ProShowPro or Pictures To Exe and once unzipped are 'executables', this means you just double click on them and they will run on any Windows based computer. As with all files downlaoded from the Internet, you are strongly recommended to check each file with your Anti Virus Program, just in case!
