Trip to Australia

Dylan — Tue, 15 May 2012 00:32:13 +0000

As many of you know, I was travelling in Australia the past few months as we didn’t have any weddings booked from mid January-April. I planned on staying in Melbourne for the almost 3 months I was there, but ended up travelling up the East Coast for about a month. Such an amazing experience! Some of the places I visited in my time down under were Melbourne (mostly in St Kilda), the Great Ocean Road, Airlie Beach, the Whitsundays, Byron Bay (I love you), Nimbin, Noosa, Brisbane, the Mornington Penninsula, Fraser Island, Rainbow Beach, and Phillip Island. I met so many people I became so close to in my short time there. I definitely caught the travel bug and can’t wait to escape again next year (Southeast Asia?) !

Although I did bring my Canon 5d Mark II camera I shoot weddings with, almost all of these photos were taken with my Fuji x100 (35mm lens) camera soo I didn’t break my back =)

Back from Cuba!

En Vogue — Mon, 17 May 2010 19:57:24 +0000

So we just got back from the destination wedding in Varadero, Cuba this week – it was amazing! We are still catching up on all of our emails from when we were gone, and editing photo sessions from before we left, but we plan on blogging the wedding/TTD photos this week!

Here are a couple of photos we took while on our trip to Havana..

Little update – Business cards and large format printer

En Vogue — Thu, 28 May 2009 02:02:44 +0000

So I finally got around to taking couple pictures of our new business cards. We got them printed by print100.com — a company based in China. Overall the quality is great, and the service is very fast…They shipped from China in about two days! Oh yeah, they give you free shipping too. It worked out to about 40$ Canadian for 300 double sided cards with rounded corners which is a pretty good deal IMO. The only con is that the cards are fairly thin, they would be awesome if they were a little thicker! I would rate the company a 4/5 overall. Here some a couple pictures of the cards:

————————————————————————————

I originally planned on buying a large format printer in late August or September but now I’m buying an Epson Stylus Pro 9800 on July 5th! Whitney and I are both really excited that we’ll be able to do in house printing up to 44″ wide (mostly canvas and fine art papers). Local photographers/artists/interior designers: Please email me at Dylan@envoguephotography.ca if you’re interested in seeing what the discounted rates are. In addition to discounted rates for professionals, I’ll be offering unbranded (drop shipping) and studio sample discounts =).

Check back soon!

Why you should have 2 saskatoon wedding photographers on your big day

En Vogue — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 20:25:57 +0000

The right wedding photographer will capture and preserve your wedding day for a lifetime. If he/she is doing their job right, they should be documenting everything – as it is occuring through out your wedding day.

One thing you may want to consider when hiring your photographer is how many photographers will be at your wedding? If their is a “second shooter” find out if they are an assistant or a real photographer. An assistant may look like a photographer at first glance but they are usually someone who is trying to build their portfolio.

There are many other factors when making up your mind about a photographer. Seeing (and liking) their work and style is important but making sure your personalities are clicking is even more important. You’ll want your photographer to blend into your wedding. This will help capture the emotions going on through out the day, and let you feel more comfortable showing those emotions. Sometimes your photographers appearance, age, or even sense of humor can make or break the deal.

Why are two better than one?

Having two photographers on your wedding day will give you many advantages. One advantage is you will have multiple angles of the same shot. While you and your bridesmaids are smiling at one of the photographers, the other photographer will be getting the same image from a candid position. Having a second shooter will also give you much wider coverage of your wedding. While the girls might be taking forever to get ready at the hotel, the second shooter can be with the guys at the ceremony site (or in some cases, at the bar!) The candid photos of the guys having a blast before the wedding can be priceless. There are many more advantages of course but the main benefit is you are getting two different perspectives on your wedding day and since we shoot as a pair, we never miss a moment!

This summer

En Vogue — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 03:09:48 +0000

With wedding season right around the corner, we are anxiously waiting! We have 24 weddings booked this year and we can’t wait to be a part of each and every one of them. We still have a few available spots in April/May and October/November/December, check out our calender to see if we are available for your special day. With that said, we are officially accepting bookings for 2010!

This summer we are also planning to try and have our fastest turnaround yet (1-2 weeks – the usual last year being 3-4 weeks), though this is not guaranteed but we will be trying our hardest to get your images back as soon as possible.

The more I think about this summer, the more excited I get! In addition to all the great weddings we’ll be at, I’ll be starting another company. It will be a fine art large format printing business. This means instead of outsourcing our photos to be printed on canvas, we will be doing it in-house. I still haven’t quite thought out when I will be starting it but it will be in September or October… But who knows it could be earlier!

Also, either tomorrow or Wednesday we receive our first ever canvas example!!! As soon as I receive it I’ll be taking some photos of it to show off on the blog. I can’t wait! It’s a photo from an engagement session from last year, that’s all I’m going to say so I don’t spoil the surprise.

Shoe Guru Fashion Monthly Shoot

En Vogue — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 19:17:33 +0000

On February 15th, Whitney and I went to Edmonton and stayed with Klyment Tan. While we were there we had a chance to participate in one of his commercial shoots for a Gola shoe distribution company called ShoeGuru. Whitney got to model some shoes and I took some video footage, helped set up and helped take down also.

Here’s a short behind the scenes video of the shoot and the images from it:

Original vs edited photos and printing – Saskatoon Wedding Photographer

En Vogue — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 02:15:48 +0000

With our 2009 and 2010 wedding packages, we include all of the photos edited on a DVD. This may change in the future but this blog post is to show you what our photos look like straight out of camera (SOOC) vs edited and processed in Adobe photoshop and/or Lightroom. We also give a limited copyright with the DVD. This allows you to print the images (though we do not recommend printing at a one-hour lab – comments on this further down in this post), post them on the internet and use them for any personal use. They can be duplicated for backup but not to be given to a friend or relative. You also cannot make changes to the images we give you (cropping and resizing are ok, but please leave the image editing to us).

How much do you edit the wedding photos?
An edit can be anything from increasing contrast, adjusting levels (or brightness), adjusting the white balance, changing color hues and tones, removing blemishes, adding textures, split-toning, removing distractions in the background, and any other enhancing effect. Each image requires a unique edit. Some will only be converted into black and white, while others will have a texture added, colors changed, split tone added, blemishes removed, etc. Just editing one photo can take anywhere from 3 minutes to 30 minutes. Remember, your not just paying for us to shoot your wedding day, your also paying us to edit your photos!

Here are four before and after examples:

Printing:
Within the next 6 months or so, we may be purchasing a large format printer, which can print up to 44′ wide and as long as we want. This will allow us to do all of our printing in house, which means we could have a turn around time of 24-48 hours max on prints!

In 2009, En Vogue photography will be offering four new products! Add them on to any wedding package.

-Image copyright Benj Haisch
We’ll be offering gallery canvas prints. The price will be around $250 for a 20×30 print. For more information on different sized prints, please contact us!

We’ll also be offering image-wrap photobooks in two different sizes, 8×8 and 10×10. The price for the 10×10 album will be $400 and the smaller 8×8 parent books will be $300. The photobooks will consist of 20 spreads (40 pages) and you can add pages for an additional price. Each book is custom designed by us and requires many hours to complete. Our printer in Toronto uses quality acid-free paper imported from the Italian paper manufacturer Fedrigoni, they ensure each page in your photo book lasts a lifetime. The award-winning paper is designed for optimal output on their digital presses. Unlike ordinary prints, this paper will sustain the colours of your photos and stand the test of time.

The third add-on is a photobooth for the reception. The price is $400 for 2 hours and $500 for 3 hours. We will set up an additional camera/strobes facing a wall or backdrop (if needed) to take photos of your guests having a good time! The package will also include a small album with 150 4×6 photos from your photobooth.

The last product is videography. The price for this additional service has not yet been determined and it depends on what you want to be covered, such as ceremony, formals, reception speeches, etc. The video is 1080P, high definition footage. The video footage is captured with a 5D Mark II. Currently, a small amount cinematic video coverage is part of our Signature package as a complimentary add-on.
