Show 1 " Professionals cater Continued from page 8 for no charge, but you decide to rent table cloths which match your color scheme rather than use the white plastic cloths which come with the church's tables. When you are at the rental shop, the clerk asks for the diameter of the tables, which you are unsure of because you have always assumed that round tables are all the same size. The clerk suggests that the tables are probably 48 inch round, since they are the most common. However, on the day of the reception you discover very quickly that 48 inch cloths do not gracefully fit a 54 inch round table. Small problems such as these can easily be avoided when you have one person acting as your bridal consultant. A professional caterer can help you to have a memorable event that will represent the reflection of your love which you have for one another. He has the knowledge, ex-pertise and equipment that is necessary to transform your ideas into a dream come true. j , j 1 Suzannah's Antique Photos established for nostalgic needs Suzannah's Antique Photos and Gifts was established in May of 1979 at 170 N. University Avenue in Provo. Then in May of 1983 they relocated in the University Mall across from the mall theaters in Orem. They specialize in nostalgia! With over 100 cotumes, they can dress any one or group from infants through large adults. Their costumes age from the Victorian, turn of the century, western and the roaring 20's era. Suzannah's specializes in copying, retouching and restoration of photos, both old and modern. They also retouch negatives. A unique part of this business is coloring black and white prints the way they did until natural color became popular. They have the best selection of ready-mad- e frames. Choose from rectangular, round and elegant ovals with or without the convex (bubble) glass. Non-glar- e glass is also available. Their large selection of wedding in-vitations can be done either in modern or old fashioned portraiture. They offer a free picture for your wedding invitation. Suzannah's will soon be adding acid free materials to protect and display any of your photographs properly. Think of what a treasured gift it would be to receive an heirloom portrait, copied, restored oiled andor framed. Record, continued from page 6 The Album Coverage method allows for a set number of 8 by 10 or 5 by 7 photographs in an album. The photographer may or may not provide a set of proofs to select those photos from. The advantage of this plan is you know how many portraits you are getting. These albums are usually a premium product. For example, we offer in our album coverage 40 prints, 8 by 10, in an alum for the couple, with two books of 24 prints, 8 by 10, for the parents. The A la Carte Method is where the photographer takes a number of poses usually 60 to 100 shots and provides you with a set of previews to choose from. You decide which poses and what sizes you want and how much you want to spend. This method can be as expensive, or as inexpensive, as you desire. It is usually accompanied by a minimum order, with the amount of that order used as a deposit. Photos are priced individually, and decreases per print if a larger number are ordered. The Album Coverage and A la Carte method involve a lot more of the photographer's time and, as a result, seem to be more expensive. However, the finished product is much better than the Preview method. What you pay for A substantial part of the cost of wedding photographs is the price of film, proofs, final pirnts and albums. The rest of the cost is determined by how much time it takes to photograph the event, prepare the order, order the prints, retouch or spot the prints and mount them in the album. An average wedding package takes about four hours to photograph - that's about 80 poses. It takes an additional two hours to get the previews ready for the bride and groom to make their selections. Another two hours are required to get the order prepared and packaged for printing. Add two to three hours to retouch the finished photos and mount them in the album once they are returned, and the photographer has spent 11 hours on one wedding more than twice as long as the actual photographing of the event. An economy package, that requires only three hours total time, provides for two hours of photographing the wedding and one hour of getting the prints all sized the same and into the album. But while the cost is considerably less, so is the quality of the photographs. The photographer The final difference in the quality of your wedding photos is the photographer. Some photographers are much more ex-perienced than others. They have a reputation because of their expertise and come with a slightly higher price tag. Overall, however, Utah County photographers only get about half as much for wedding portraits in other parts of the country. So even with the extra cost for a better-know- n photographer, your wedding photographs will be a bargain. Also, give the photographer a chance to work. It is extremely annoying for the photographer, who is putting his expertise and creativity at your disposal, to have to compete with friends and family for photography privileges. If others want to photograph the wed-ding party, let them do it after the professional leaves, rather than getting in his way and making it difficult for him to work. When you think about it, it only takes one of a second to take the photographs. The rest of the time is spent moving people around to different poses or chasing would-b- e photographers away. The photographer needs your undivided attention all the time he is taking your photographs. It is common for flowers to come late, or cakes not be prepared in time for the photographs. Keep in mind that all of these things cut down on the photographers ability to be creative. You owe it to yourselves and the photographer to avoid these situations by planning ahead and seeing that theses problems don't occur with your wedding party. Use your photographer as a counselor to make sure that these thing don't happen to you. ll For The Finest In Flowers...
