Show At a time like lhi, the more cameras in action the belter. There can't be too many pictures of a moment like this. Tho Bride's Always a Picture To be sure of having the most complete album of wedding pictures her budget will allow, almost every girl who gets mdrried today hires a professional photographer. Such pictures generally supplement the traditional posed studio portrait of the bride. They consist primarily of informal photos of the bride and groom with their families and guests, both in the church and at the reception. Many of these albums are handsomely assembled collections, ranging in dimension from those suitable for wallet-size pictures to 11 x 14 or even larger. Small "accordion-type" albums, which unfold to display all the pictures at one time, are becoming quite popular. One of the current favorites in albums is white leatherette with a gold-colored border. Usually, the pictures are mounted on heavy white paper, with a few inches of white space all around to give a framed effect. In other albums we've seen, transparent acetate envelopes hold the pic tures flush to the edge, without mounting. You'll find that today many wedding photographers offer a special "package deal", too. For example, one 8 by 10" white leatherette album of 24 pictures, plus one duplicate 5 x 7 brown leatherette album, may cost about $125. But for only $25 more, the same photographer will Include these additional items: six identical 8" x 10 group pictures of the newlyweds, and 50 thank-you notes bearing their picture. Stereo color slides have also become popular for wedding coverage. And with these as well, the price quoted is for a minimum number usually 20 or 24. But remember, all you picture-taking relatives and friends of this season's bride-to-be, there's no reason to leave your own cameras at home just because a professional photographer's on the scene. Your pictures of the little incidents and happenings-offbeat and full of human interest can make a wonderful wedding album all their own. John Van Guilder |
