What can I use the photobook for? |
Miscellaneous |
| |
The photobook can be used to:
- Preserve memories of wedding, graduations, house warming, funerals, special events, birthdays and anniversaries 18th, 25th, 50th, 100th etc).
- It is an ideal way of introducing a company or organization to visitors while they wait in the waiting room.
- A baby’s growth from birth through first cry, first crawl, and first step to maturity can be effectively documented. This definitely would be a priceless wedding gift at the child’s wedding from the child's parent.
- A family’s history, roots, traditions, identity and heritage can be documented graphically for future generations with notes, captions and short descriptions. This is absolutely necessary for migrant families living in a foreign country
- Important outdoor events can also be documented for instance vacations, holidays, back packing expeditions etc. The list is endless.

We certainly can make digital images from your negatives including those taken with disposable cameras. However, the quality of the finish depends on the resolution of the images. We can also obtain digital images from videos (DVD or VHS) for an extra charge. |

Does the quality of the photos matter? |
Media |
| |
The quality (resolution) of your photos is very important and determines the picture quality and size when printed. The higher the resolution of you photographs the better. When possible, use the highest resolution obtainable with your camera for large prints e.g. a photo with 3000 x 2000 resolution as opposed to 640 x 480, would provide superior quality prints. |

There will be two events - traditional wedding and white wedding - does my cost cover both events? |
Payment |
| |
The number of events does not matter, our prices are based on the number of photobooks ordered. If you want each event on separate volumes, the cost would be per book depending on the package selected. However, there is a limit to the number of photos that can be included in a single volume. |

We had a photographer at our wedding but we simply got colour prints of what was taken that day. However we wanted to get a storybook album made up from these photos. We would also like certain photos altered slightly, ie, black and white etc for a more modern feel. Is this a service you offer, and if so how much would it cost? |
