Here Terri shares some tips on Your Wedding Day: 

Your Wedding Day:

Indeed, it’s an exciting time, and there is a lot to do when you are in the midst of planning your wedding. I have been asked a number of questions regarding the wedding photography part of your day and so I want to answer those questions here and hopefully give you some good ideas to help you move forward with your planning.

How far in advance should we be booking our wedding day photographer? There is no right or wrong answer to this....however “the sooner the better” seems to be the best answer. Especially if you know who you want to hire to capture your day. The sooner you can secure your wedding day photography, the better, and it’s off your list ofthings to do. Even if you haven’t finalized your dates quite yet, it would be wise to contact your photographer and start the conversation, or start your search for one and get that finalized as soon as possible.

What are we going to plan for our wedding day photos? Before the Wedding Day I have already had a number of conversations with my bride and groom about what they want for their wedding day photography. If my bride & groom are uncertain about how they envision their wedding day imagery to look like then we spend some time talking about what’s important to them so that we come up with our photographic plan for the day. We want to have a photographic plan in place so we can move through their day with minimal uncertainty and stress. And we always discuss some of ‘plan B’ in case it’s required at any time. There will always be a few surprises during the day and it’s best to have considered a few alternatives given a few different situations....we want things to move along as smoothly and stress-free as possible. And planning and being prepared manages most of this. 

Do today’s couples usually have an Engagement Session?

Most often an Engagement Session is part of our time working together, and this is a great opportunity for us to get to know each other better and learn about each other photographical.....so that come the wedding day we are already familiar with each other and you can relax, trust and enjoy the days events without being concerned about the camera so much. It’s a great precursor to the wedding day! (PLUS this gives you the opportunity to create an Interactive Guest Book with your engagement images to be used at the wedding.....and then you have an engagement album and a wedding guest book all-in-one to enjoy forever).

How long after the wedding day can we expect to view our images?

About two weeks after your Wedding Day we meet so you can view your Wedding Day images, and discuss your Wedding Album design. Here we will also consider images that would make gorgeous wall prints, and wonderful gift prints for family or friends. We can also look at creating custom designed Thank You cards for your guests using your favorite wedding day image. Anything is possible!

Is a Wedding Album something we should consider?

I say yes! I don’t know where all these digital files are going to be in 50 years from now, but I do know that a well crafted, archival quality, wedding album will exist for generations. We use one of the most highly regarded Wedding Album companies in the world to design your Wedding album. These albums are beautiful to the eye, meticulously crafted, and hand made in Italy. With many options for album covers and layout design, we will be able to tell your wedding day story perfectly. And with all albums, the digital files are also included - so the best of both worlds! 

Your Wedding Day can not be re-created. It is important to trust the documenting of that day to a professional photographer with a style of imagery you love, and someone you will appreciate working with, and vice versa. Enjoy your wedding day! Wishing you much love and happiness, for always!

Here Terri shares some tips on Family Photos:

I look horrible, don’t take my photo! | Saskatoon Family Photography:

Most of us, primarily us mom's I suspect, have all said it before or something close to it as an objection to getting into the photo. Guess what? Our kids and family members don’t care what we look like. They see and love us for who we are, not what we look like. We don't need to be perfect. And if you are waiting for everything to be perfect enough it may never happen.....and it is very important that you are in the family photos. So, this spring and summer when among family and friends, stop fretting about what you look like, put a smile on, feel the love in your heart (which will make you look amazing) and get in that photo! When you look back at family images later you will be happy that you did. (and If you need to hire a professional photographer to come on over and capture some of your family love, we would be happy to help!)

We tried to match a particular colour in my artwork to use in the matting, but after a thorough search – we could not find a match. With the suggestion from J & S we chose a different colour from the artwork to use. I would say that the picture looks even better than if I would have gone with my original choice. We get compliments on the pictures often. We are extremely happy!

Lifestyle & Family: The Color of Fall

This was the third consecutive year that Terri Feltham Photography had the pleasure of photographing this wonderful family. The Fall setting was perfect for this family shoot! The autumn colors really played well with the son’s red hair, and big sister was the perfect assistant to help capture these beautiful images. Terri Feltham told us, “Our time together was fun, relaxed & easy, and at the end of our little adventure we had documented this crazy time in this young family’s life- images they will have forever. When I was a new mother a lady once told me ‘The days can be long, but the years go fast.’ Hold on to these precious moments my friends, for the time does fly by way too quickly.”

Here they share their first Trusted Tip

Why use matting in custom framing?

What is matting?

The mat or matting is the border you often see around a picture underneath the glass. In gallery settings, white mats are often used in framing in galleries, but in framing that you might see in someone's home, the matting is often coloured or textured to compliment the image. Matting is not solely used for aesthetic reasons in picture framing, it also has a practical and important function. Mats help to keep the artwork "healthy". It lifts the glass off the artwork. This allows the artwork to "breathe" as we say, and helps prevent any buildup of condensation that may lead to the development of mold or mildew.

Having the glass lifted away slightly also prevents the glass from adhering to the artwork. This is especially important with items such as photographs. The surface of photographs contains a gelatin like substance. Over time and with fluctuations in temperature and humidity, this gelatin surface begins to soften and becomes glued to the glass. Often these photos are one of a kind and are difficult to replace and costly to restore. Paintings (oils, acrylic, spray paint art, etc.)should never have glass sitting directly on them as a similar problem is likely to result; the glass will damage the surface of the painting and the glass will stick to the artwork. Works such as pastels and charcoal drawings should also have a mat as the dust from these mediums will continue to shed.

Needleworks will give off-gas, and a haze of the image will appear on the glass. It is also important for these carefully crafted items to breathe to prevent the wools and threads from rotting, allowing them to be treasured by the next generation.

In this instance - pictured below , Letraset transfers were used on the name on this certificate. This item was framed by another company (without matting) about 15 to 17 years ago. When the glass was removed to reframe it, part of the name lifted off the certificate, ruining this official document.

www.TrustedSaskatoon.com  is so proud to partner with Imagery Photography and lets tell you why as we brag about this TRUSTED SASKATOON PHOTOGRAPHER !

It seems like everyone who runs in “photographic circles” knows Imagery’s founder, Milton Talyor.

Milton started Imagery Photography in 1977 out of a desire to be independently successful – and over the past 35 years has become a name that is synonymous with quality and artistry. As you can imagine, a lot has changed in the photographic industry over 35 years – the technology is very advanced as compared to the old equipment and processes. Milton comments, “There is more to creating a portrait than a magic camera and photoshop skills…our strength is in our experience, our background in the technical training, and our ability to understand the fundamentals – lighting, posing, and the mechanics of exposure.” Considering that Milton is a Master of the Photographic Arts, we truly believe that at Imagery Photography Saskatoon , you are dealing with the experts!

Your experience with Imagery begins with the initial consultation, where Milton, Betty and Brenda get to know a bit more about a person, and really listen to what you, the client, want from your session. This is crucial to the success of the shoot because this is where Imagery works with you to discover what style of portraiture will make you the happiest, whether it be journalistic, static, traditional, or environmental.

Listening to their clients is key to their success…Imagery Photography strives to give you the portraits that you will cherish. From this point, you then book your session (with a rain date chosen just in case!), and after that, a client comes back in to sit with Milton and the girls for the initial projection. This is where you can review all of the photos in the shoot with your photographic team to choose your favourites. After that, you are emailed your choices to make your final decisions, and then you are ready to order.

We all know that there are different reasons that people do what they do… some do it for the money, some do it for recognition, and some do what they do because they are passionate about it and genuinely love their craft. When we asked Milton what he loves the most about his work, he responded, “I love working in the environment, working with 3 or 4 generations of family, and working with young couples in love… you can see the passion people have for each other. Things in life will catch your eye if they catch your heart – these are the things you should persue.” Essentially, Milton sees himself as a historian – and this is where the artistry really comes into play. “This work will be seen 50, 60, 100 years from now.”

Imagery Photography works in collaboration with many photographers in the province, hoping to elevate the standards of the industry and the profession as a whole . Milton does quite a bit of mentoring, and the attitude is always that someone once took the time to share knowledge with him, and this is his way to give back to the profession. He states, “Having a cake and eating it by yourself is no fun. This is my cake and I’m sharing it!” Asked about retirement, Milton always says he’s retiring on the first…....the first time he doesn’t enjoy it anymore that is! . Well….here’s to many more years!!!!!
