Getting married 50+ years ago was very different than today where the bride would go to the studio of the photographer for a few bride and groom portraits, the launch of the portable camera still did not see the wedding photos that are expected of the brides and grooms today as they simply were not possible.
In more recent times, there was always the film camera and the digital camera, where the photographer would have been limited or limited the service to how many rolls of film, and despite the 35mm 24-30 frame capture, the real professionals used 110 and 120 film to capture the moments and these were 12 frames per roll.
Today’s photographers with digital cameras may seem to have it easy, but thats not really the case, but this post is nothing about how wedding photography has changed.. its about the brides..
Todays Bride wants something a little different that a studio portrait and a few photos of ‘the groups’ in-fact the bride now has become centre stage with her requests from her photographer or photographers.
The bridal photo shoots are now a triple stage of photo shoots:
Bridal boudoir – Sensual and often a gift for the husband to be.
The wedding – The general coverage of the wedding photography
Trash the dress – Exciting high fashion photography that despite the name doesn’t trash the wedding dress.
Bridal boudoir became popular in the UK around 3 years ago, it was the ‘done thing’ in the states and filtered through to the UK, in part the reason for this being that ladies were looking for some thing a little different for themselves and then for their boyfriends when it came to portrait photography. The next natural step was of course the bridal boudoir photo shoot. This became a celebrity show piece and the wedding magazines picked up this growing trend and the rest as they say is history.
Weddings generally remain the same, however; there has been a change in the desired style of photography. The styles of photography have changed over the past 5 years to break into 3 main parts:
For many years and I wont give it away, but lets just say when most men were thinking of a pint and a mining strike I was into networking and two era’s later we can see this has come to fruit in the last 5 years.
Most people popped off to PC world to buy a network device as they carried out large marketing campaigns on WiFi networks and how great they are and that you can use your Internet all over your home, in the garden just where ever you wanted.. BUT in reality many homes just couldn’t get the things to work loads were taken back to PC world as weekend Bob the IT 16 year old was telling you “its the best, it will work” and using words like “definitely” and then you went home, and to much disappointment it didn’t work; Or it worked for a week and then stopped.
If you lost heart with having a network and totally gave up with what seems impossible, don’t worry we can network you. No drilling holes, no stressfully days and nights, just pay your money, book the engineer and your network will be installed within the half hour. Take the professional choice, save both time and money and have stress free use of the Internet.
If your wondering whats happened with your computer files, or maybe that you have other problems.. Will you stop searching the net, on-line banking and of course porn surfing because you could be being watched. We have come across businesses who have been so hard up and care free that they didn’t update their operating systems for over 3 Years and even had a IT guy that was supposed to be doing it, when we came along we were appalled at this metal companies idea of security and sound investment. We also found they were responsible sending Spam emails from a unsecured server and had no firewalls or generally protection.
It important that you let a real professional take a look at your systems and security, not some self taught old fashioned outdated IT monkey or you really could end up losing everything.

We are Only One phone call or Email away if you need to have yoru systems checked. Remember 70% of computers are out of date and have faults within there software even with leading advice and even good old fashioned hope that everything is fine..
Microsoft has been around for a long time now, but there constant updates of their software is leading to problems.
Internet Explorer 8 has had its fair share of issues since its release, The first time was that flash (one of the most widely used web application) would not work or install onto the software, meaning that many websites we not viewable. The reason for this was the Adobe sent in the file to Microsoft late.
Many people would have been unaware of the problem unless you purchased a new computer system as updating seems to allow the flash software to work. Many experts stated that the compatibility button that sits near the end of the refresh bar is not a compatibility button, but simply turns off the bugs that are in Internet Explorer 8.
There are still many faults and bugs with IE 8 and we may not see the end of these in any short term fix. We may however can look forward to IE9 which should resolve many of the issues found in IE8 which can be the reason that websites you visit are not showing up on your screen.
