As I was checking my emails this morning I found this one buried in the pile that said I made the 2011 wedding professional hot list. Hmmm, now I have no idea how this all went down and in all honesty I’m not all into this award stuff. Deep down inside i’m just a simple person that loves creating art for my clients and to all of you that had anything to do with this thank you. You can read the copy here.

I know I have disappeared off the blog land but it has been one hell of a busy season thus far and the posts are far behind. So just to bring you guys up to speed besides shooting some killer long Island weddings I’ve been designing a bunch of killer albums. Not only that but I’m in heavy post production of this years weddings as well. Like that is not enough i’m working on a version of Photography By Christos website that i’m hoping will rock your words. That will be launched soon but have no idea when. So for now here is a take on a bridal party image from my last wedding.

This image was taken on our way to The Metropolitan

I’m not a huge fan of overly processed images, i’m kind of a purist in a way and I do prefer a good black and white anyway.

I would like to share with you an image that was captured at my last wedding that was held at Glen Island Harbor Club. The first image is the image that is straight out of my camera, for those that are interested I shoot all my images flat in camera.  As you can see the image exposure is spot on, and most likely go straight to proofing with some minor adjustments. The second image is a finished image after some minor editing work and is how it would look in the album and enlargments if selected.

After some editing work done on the image.

So here is the scoop, common sense should prevail here. In other words don’t be flipping the pages of the album when you are eating cheese doodles and a soda pop, which I know you won’t be doing.

Your wedding album is made to last generations and is made up of two materials paper and most have a leather covers. The leather is very different then leather that goes on couches and your automobile seats, so try not to get it stained since most of those commercial leather are treated differently.

Now with anything made of paper humidity and temperature changes will affect the album pages. You should not store your album in an area that has high humidity or is damp, that is very bad thing. What will happen is the pages will start to warp, which is common. If this does happen the pages usually will go back to there original form if you move the album to a more temperature controlled environment. You could also place a heavy object on top of the album only if you can evenly distribute the weight. Now all you have to do is leave it alone for a week or two and everything should go back to normal. In other words, storing your album in an attic that is not temperature controlled or  heavily insulated is usually a very bad thing. Oh yeah, don’t leave your wedding album on a coffee table that is in direct sunlight for 8 hours a day either.

Since every home is different every album will be affected differently. Depending on the size of the book, the type of paper used and the style of album you purchase. To a certain extent slight page warping is normal. Even my own wedding album that is 7 years old has a slight warp and I always tried to maintain it properly.

Enough of me babbling, I do go over this in greater detail with all my clients when an album is delivered.
