Choosing the right frame

The beautiful images of your wedding events deserve a beautiful frame. Not only will they enhance your image, a good frame will also help preserve your precious memories for generations to come.

While you can definitely purchase and frame photos yourself, like most things it is better to have a professional do the work, especially for large portraits.

Whether you elect to use frames from your photographer or take them to a professional framer, here are some things to keep in mind:

·         Allow enough time to order the frame you really want. Custom and specialty frames often need to be special ordered.

·         Bring all the pictures to the store with you.

·         For a memory box, bring all the memorabilia you have, you can always leave things out.

·         For your bridal portrait to be displayed at the reception let your frame designer know the style of the wedding, the colors and theme.

·         For your home, bring color swatches or photographs that show the style of the room where the pictures will hang.

·         If you are having photos framed as gifts, keep in mind the style and décor of the recipients. If you aren’t sure, keep the frame simple and tasteful.

·         Be sure to have all details – size, matte color, frame color, backing, etc., included in the written order.

You will want the frames you choose to last a lifetime so spend enough time on design to make sure that you will enjoy them forever.

New looks in framing include a more eclectic look with inlaid frames, new colors and textures as well as wood, metallic and distressed finishes that will complement any home.
