The Traditional Wedding Photographer Makes A Comeback

By S Porter

For the last several years, the photography industry has been in a very steady decline. There are many different factors that have caused this, but the bottom line is the same; thousands of businesses have gone under. The very idea of starting a photography studio that does weddings and senior pictures is a little crazy right now. The market works in cycles and eventually there will be a demand for these services again, but when? Until then, most people who want their wedding photographed by a professional have two choices; have Uncle Fred do it or pay thousands of dollars for someone who fancies themselves an artist.

Six years ago, digital cameras really moved into the mainstream and people began to ask their family members and friends to photograph their weddings. With film leaving and being replaced by memory sticks, most people really thought that they could do it on their own and save some money. After all, can’t you move people where you want them and hit a button? If you don’t like the picture you’ve taken, you can always just delete it and take another without losing a frame like you did with film. The simple fact is, you can hand a chisel and hammer to anyone and teach them how to use them, but that doesn’t make them a sculptor.

Cameras are everywhere now; in our phones, hovering over every street intersection, on the dashboard of every police car and inside every public building. The fact that they are so common now has had a very interesting effect on the photography industry. Years ago when it started, people thought they could take their own photographs because they could afford a good camera like the professionals. Time has passed and like the hammer and chisel, people have begun to realize that they are not photographers; they are just people with cameras. The traditional photographer is now making a comeback because we’ve all seen how bad our own pictures are, and we don’t want our wedding pictures to look like that.

The recent economic downturn has changed all of our lives dramatically in a short period of time. During this part of the economic cycle, people stop valuing money as much and reconnect with the important things in life; family, friends and memories. When the economy is down, weddings and childbirths go up. This has created resurgence in the photography industry as people are looking for a professional who doesn’t charge a months salary. There aren’t very many of these professionals around anymore, but supply and demand dictates that this hole will be filled as more people need it.

If you are looking to get married or just need to have some pictures taken of your family, don’t make the same old mistakes. Hire a professional and preserve your memories the way they were meant to be, by someone who knows what they are doing. “I have seen a huge slow down in business, but it seems to be building up again”, says Harold Porter, a Colorado wedding photographer. Weddings are on the rise and wedding photographers are going up with them, but a complete recovery may be years away. The people who love to take pictures and are good at it today may be photographing your wedding a few years from now!

Denver Wedding Photographer Announces Copyright Free Picture Releases

By S Porter

All Pro Portrait Studios is announcing the release of copyrighted material to its customers. This will allow all wedding photography customers to reproduce their wedding pictures at will for anyone they want. In the past, customers needed to purchase all pictures from the photographer because the photographer owned the copyright.

Customers will now receive a CD or DVD with all the photography taken at their wedding. These pictures are copyright free and can be emailed to family members or taken to any photo shop for printing.

There are many Colorado wedding photographers in the market, and holding the rights to the pictures they take has always been the norm. Owing the rights to their work protects them from people taking their pictures to another studio and not paying the original photographer for his or her work.

All Pro Portrait Studios now offers several price packages that include a set amount of time at the wedding and reception, along with a particular amount of sized and printed pictures. When the pictures are delivered, a CD or DVD with all of the retouched pictures on it will be included with no additional obligation to the photographer.

“People have always wanted to own the rights to their wedding pictures and it’s always been a point of contention between artist and customer. With digital pictures it only seems right to allow people to share them with family members”, says Harold Porter, a Denver wedding photographer.

All Pro Portrait Studios has been operating in the Denver Colorado area for more than 27 years. Offering competitive prices and the highest quality photos have always been the cause for their success, but digital pictures have changed the entire photography industry and left many studios looking for ways to stay in business.

Wedding packages begin at $599 and go up to $1499, with an engagement session costing only $50. All packages include an album full of pictures and the CD with all of the originals. The wedding will be photographed by a seasoned professional with years of experience in the field.
The future of photography is in digital images that can be shared with family and friends all over the world in seconds. Film cameras and copyrights may disappear in the near future, but there will always be a need for a professional to capture the moment the way it should be remembered.
