Pictures of Perfection

We've put most of the finishing touches to our new online store, you can access it by clicking this link - our old store now redirects to it. We have some final customisations to put to it, but for the most part its ready to go. The new software allows you to send E-cards, rate images and leave comments on photos, as well as making ordering easy using google checkout, paypal or offline payments by cash-in-advance and personal cheque.

It's a much more polished product than our previous gallery which seemed to get a little slower with each wedding that we added to it whereas this software handles large galleries much easier.

You can also preview black & white and sepia tones on your images. Plenty of fun little things like that!

Here's two quick photos from Stephen and Victoria's wedding:

We're launching a new on-line print store shortly to replace our current system. The new version allows guestbook comments, image rating, sending of E-cards as well as digital download of images should you wish to purchase a single image. It should be ready to launch later in the week.

We've also continued our business model of maintaining a certain level of business investment and have purchased a brand new quad-core work station for the office. It should arrive on Wednesday, and will mean that we can use Lightroom on those 21.1MP images without wanting to throw it out a window!

Here's a few photos from Stephen and Victoria's wedding on the HMS Trincomalee in Hartlepool. They chose our affordable Crystal package, and supplemented it with a licenced DVD to make their own prints from - a great option if you are good with computers, want to make your own album or just arent big on paper albums and is quite popular with many of our clients.

These are just a few scenic detail shots - something we always get good comments on as we capture the little moments and details that help make your wedding day special, but would otherwise be forgotten.

One of the biggest issues with getting married in a Church is if you will be allowed any photos during the service at all and, if you are, is it bright enough to have any good ones taken?

At Pictures of Perfection we invest in high-performance Canon SLR's with advanced Low-Light capabilities and pair these with fast prime and zoom lenses that allow a lot of light in. This allows us to get sharp, non-blurry photos in even the darkest church without resorting to flash. Take a look at this example from Chris and Stephanie's wedding:



Here's a classic Duotoned image from the same wedding:



The weather was, unfortunately, not ideal however we come prepared and are able to take pictures indoor or outdoors, and even have a supply of white golf umbrellas and lace parasols should you wish for a little extra protection in a downpour/strong wind.

Here's a quick old fashioned tone to show one of the many effects that we can apply to your photos:



We always provide the original colour image as well as the applied effects so that you can choose from a variety of photos and effects, and if you want us to apply an effect to a photo then just ask - we don't charge for this!




Chris & Stephanie were married on the 4th October at St Mary's Church in Stockton on Tees. They chose our Crystal Package which offers excellent value for money for those that just want coverage at their service, and some brief reception coverage. You can choose whether you want an album or not as we find many of our clients prefer to just purchase prints and having to choose an album isnt ideal for them if they don't want one, so we offer the flexibility with all our packages for standalone or album based options - you want it your way, you got it!

At Pictures of Perfection we operate a reinvestment model that sees a percentage of our annual profits go back into purchasing better equipment that helps us to provide a better service. We've just built a new workstation with a 24" Dell Truecolour monitor which we use exclusively for processing your photos. We will also be purchasing a new Canon 5DmkII camera once they are released in the UK and are really looking forward to the increased low-light performance for next years growing client base.

We've had a hectic weekend with 2 weddings, 2 corporate shoots & 2 wedding consultations. A good friend of ours also got engaged so we'll be looking forward to covering their wedding!

After getting a bit wet covering a wedding in Stockton on Tees we had a brief respite at home before heading out to Big Mouth at the town hall to get some photos of the sell-out crowd. We got some good pictures of Stephen Carlin, who we have some photos in the brochure for his live DVD.

After that we scooted off to the Middlesbrough Empire to take some photos of their refurbished new 1st floor - it had a really good, polished look to it so it was good to get some long exposures in there before it opened up.

I really love processing images for crisp B&W display. Some photographers just take out all the colour but there is much more to it than that. We've got hundreds of amazing black and white photos to show you during our consultation meetings, where we will discuss your specific needs to help make sure you remember your wedding day with style.

Here's a great B&W portrait from Alison and Simon's wedding at Pinchinthorpe hall
