Kryder Studios Retirement Announced

After sixty years of photographing high school seniors, engagements, and weddings, the Kryders have closed their studio. Photography has changed greatly since 1949 and the Kryders were one of the last wedding photographers in the Fort Wayne area to shoot weddings using 35mm cameras.

 

At their last meeting, the Wedding Connection presented the Kryders with a Member Emeritus certificate as part of the retirement celebration. The Kryders have been a long standing group supporter and have been committed to their community, their family, and their clients for quite some time.

 

Congratulations to Kryder Studios on your retirement!!

The Fort Wayne Wedding Connection is a strong supporter of bridal education. We asked our members to share their most asked questions from previous brides and grooms. We will feature these planning questions (or problems) and their professional answers. Feel free to leave your rough questions or prenuptial roadblocks in our comments section and we will have Wedding Connection members share their solutions for your wedding planning woes.

 

Wedding Connection member; Picture Perfect Photography shared their frequently asked question from brides:

 

“How do I know how much time it will take to do my photos after the service?

 

Dave from Picture Perfect Photography shared his response:  “We will help you ‘engineer’ your time line.” An experienced wedding photographer knows about approximately how long formal wedding shots will take after the wedding ceremony. They will offer suggestions on what types of photos can be taken prior to the ceremony and work with you on figuring out about how much time will be needed (based on number of photos requested, number of wedding party member, and time allotted at the ceremony location).

Brides should consider this tip before deciding to use any type of products which add a sparkle to the skin. Using these will quite possibly result in little white spots in your photographs due to the flash of light created in exposing the film hitting the sparkle on your skin. In the final photograph, it would appear as a little white dot in each location where there was a sparkle. While the sparkles may be pretty in person they can be very costly to have removed from all of your photographs.

Fifteen Questions to Consider Before Hiring Your Wedding Photographer

By Judy Gaulden of Photo Artistry by Judy

 

 

 

The following are helpful questions to consider before hiring a photographer for your wedding. Your wedding day will be a very busy day for you so keep in mind that your photographs are one of the best ways to document your wedding as these events will only happen once.

#1.  Do you like the photographers work?

#2.  Do you like the personality of the photographer?

#3.  Does the photographer have a strong work ethic and good standing in the community (and with the Better Business Bureau)?

#4.  Does the photographer have a good amount of experience? How long has he or she been in business?

#5.  Does the photographer offer a good value for the dollars paid? What are the fees for different packages available?

#6. When meeting with the photographer (in person) does he or she show you photographs from a complete wedding and not just a few best photos from a number of wedding?

#7.  Does the photographer offer copyright of the images to the bride and groom or retain all rights to the photos?

#8.  Does the photographer provide a clear and concise contract which states exactly what is being provided? What is the deposit fee and is it a separate fee?

#9.  Do they have travel and/or over-time fees? If so, how much are these fees?

#10. What style of wedding photography does the studio offer? Can they provide you with the sort of photos you are looking for?

#11. How many hours will the photographer be present on your wedding day? And will they be the actual photographer at your wedding?

#12. Is the photographer studio digital or film based? Do they use a professional lab for printing the photos?

#13. How long after your wedding will your photos be ready to view? Can they be put online for your out-of-town family and friends to view and order?

#14. Does the photographer archive your photos in their studio or will your album/photos be the only copy of the photos?

#15. How long will you be able to order additional photos from your wedding (only after the wedding or will you be able to come back years later and re-order photos)?
