NEWS — I’ve decided to split my site into two blogs: this location will remain dedicated to my wedding and portrait work, while andypauquette.wordpress.com will be where you will find live music images, photography news and the like. Older posts have been moved to the new blog where appropriate. Please check them both out!
I’ve made a brief video to show how my Personal Photo Websites function, specifically how to use “My Favorites” to help narrow photo selections, and then how to order a wedding album from those favorites:
I can’t believe it’s been a month since I’ve posted — I’ve been working hard to finish up websites for all of the summer weddings. The big news is that, effective immediately, I am making all of my prints in house rather than outsourcing to a traditional photolab. All prints (both standard photographic prints and matted and framed art prints) will now feature premium papers and archival pigment-based inks. Accelerated tests predict that these images will show no signs of fading or color shift for 200 years under normal display conditions! This comes with absolutely no quality concessions — in fact the wide gamut prints are superior in sharpness and tonal range to the prints that I used to make by hand in my own darkroom. I am excited not only to offer museum quality prints to my couples and families, but also to return to making fine art prints of my own personal work. Stay tuned for more info.
Also “in the news” — I will be posting a tutorial video this week which will show the features of the individual wedding websites, which couples can use to show off photos to family and friends as well as order albums and prints. There are some great features to the site format that are not necessarily obvious at first glance. Again, stay tuned…
I’ve created this online journal to share news, information and lots of photos! Check back often to see recent weddings, special projects, news and announcements, etc.
To start off, here are a few images from Angelica and Jim’s rehearsal last night:
Please stop in again soon to see images from the wedding and reception. Best to you!
