Saturday I headed over to the annual Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers Convention at Novotel London West. Met some really nice people and found a few key suppliers that I’ll be using throughout 2009.
One of the hardest choices for a couple can be deciding on which type of album to go for. I’ve gone through and chosen what I think is the best of the best in each category of album, prints and wall art based on the quality of the look and feel of their finished product.
Albums this year will again be Bellissimo by Loxley Colour. Their customer service is outstanding and although expensive, produce what I think is still the best in the industry. The pages open flat (so we can run big images across 2 pages) and overall the standard of finish is extremely high.
Have also found excellent suppliers for canvas prints, metallic and acrylic wall hangings. One of the things that bothered me about previous acrylics were the brushed metal mounting bolts that could be seen on the front. I think they distract from the image so have very thankfully found a company able to produce and wall mount them without. Looks really fresh having the images presented like that so respect to the guys for figuring it out!
Nicest person of the day award though has to go to the girl on the Digital Photo and Imaging Show stand. Poor thing was stuck by herself in a back corner of the convention. Hope the rest of the show got better for you! For any other pro photographers out there, the DPI Show is at the Islington Design Centre (just around the corner from me!) in June of this year.
