Had another great Destination Wedding a few weeks ago on July 25, 2009. The couple was Jen and Greg Costa and they had a great time during the day dealing with just one vendor. "We picked you because we knew you would all get along and then we would end up with a better product without you being in each other's way. I had been to other weddings where we waited for almost two hours for the bride and groom to come back from the photo session and we were very happy to you worked so fast that we were able to have a drink and speak to some of our quests."
A good day was had by all and we are currently in the process of picking out the pages for Jen and Greg's album. They were happy to have so much to choose from and like the fact that Richard Talmage Image will help as an outside observer to help pick out the photos. "It is such an emotional choice when you have to pick your photos so I was very appreciative when you decided to present us with a 143 page rough cut album and then your choice of a 50 page album. We could never have cut out the selection of this many good photos by ourselves."
With the Destination Wedding package the Bride and Groom were presented with a rough cut 143 page album in four days then the selection of the photos were placed online at the end of the first week. If you want to see the rough cut 143 album and the 50 page album picked by Richard Talmage Images click here

Wedding Photography vs. Wedding Videography
As a Cape Cod Wedding Photographer since 1984 (I started in 1978 in Philadelphia) I have seen a lot of changes in the Video World. Back in the 1970's video coverage did start out with huge cameras and big lights due to the cameras not being good in low light. Today that has changed where most brides of the past never noticed me during the entire day. Now with smaller hand held cameras you can get many more candids when the wedding guests are not seeing your there.
Photography started out one hundred years ago and today the cameras are also smaller and easier to handle. If you had one budget to spend which one would you choose?
When you are thinking of the two methods to capture your wedding there of course are differences. Photos are easily handled on a DVD. Photos have been said to be forever (actually photos from film used to fade in about 15 years). Since digital has not been around as long who knows. If it is the same your photos will fade. Actually after time your photos or album will end up in a closet. Very few brides keep their album out in their living rooms for 20 years. There is always an exception to he rule and I know one family whose wedding I attended in the 1970's and she still has her album out for display. The biggest difference is having someone there to capture the Audio of your day. Photos do not capture audio but video coverage does. If you are reading your vows that you have written to each other can you afford to let those words fly up in the air?
Can you also afford to pass up hearing your father, mother, grandfather or favorite friend not be heard? This is the choice. Audio comes along with moving pictures and does not come along with photos.
Which medium will give you the most fun after your day is over? Would a Hi Def DVD with all the sights and sounds of the day be important to you or would the still images on a DVD with music be enough for you?
Which is better? That still is your choice. Talk to some friends who had video and ask them how they felt about it. Be sure when you ask them that they did pick a good videographer with a good coverage. You will not get good results with a videographer for $500.00 who will cover the 8 hour day for you. That was my price on my first video wedding. I could not have produced the sample video I have on my site for the wedding at the Popponesset Inn back in 1996. If you are interested ask a videographer if you could speak to a client of his to get their views on their importance after the fact. I always ask my video clients a question of the level of Artistry between a 0 to10. I always like to work with levels of 8, 9 and 10 who want something totally unique. I have done a few 10 weddings
If you would like to speak to me as to the choice of video or photos I also have a Destination wedding package where you get both. I have a sample page on this site where you can see an example. Would you like your edit to be unique? Of course if you have any questions call 508-539-1143 and ask for Richard Talmage.

What will you remember from your wedding day?
Today I posted a video I found on you tube and it really hits the point of PROFESSIONAL AUDIO as the one thing brides do not think about for their future.
It is hard to imagine yourself as your parents some day in the future. Just remember your activities from 15 years ago. Can you remember every trip you have taken as a child? Can you remember your grandparents as they once were just like you?
Take it from me in my 50’s. I can not remember my very best friends wedding (I was in the wedding party ) and can not remember a single thing that was said that day. I can not even remember the tv shows I watched last week. Guess what....you are going to end up just as your parents are someday and will be thinking of that special day and thinking to yourself....what do I remember?

Over time with a wedding DVD you can pop that into your DVD player and instantly be back in the room with all your family members having a good time. You can hear the rings and vows, you can hear the toasts, you can hear your best man talking of what he was feeling on the day of your wedding.
I am also a photographer and I am sure that couples who stay together can remember their wedding day from the photos. One thing they can not remember over time is the AUDIO from the day. That is a major difference between a professional photographer and a professional videographer. We are the audio specialists who capture the sounds of your day. Can you afford not to take advantage of this service even on an hourly basis?
Why would you want hire me to document your day? I have been working with hand held recorders (just like the movies) to add in extra audio during the day to enhance your AUDIO experience. Do I have to do this? No, but I like to add more to my work to make it better. That is why you should hire Richard Talmage Images to videotape your special day for you
