While we were finalising our wedding album, our photographer asked us what I thought was an insignificant question. Having received the album, I now understand why, and I think it's important. The question soon, but first the back-story. The first time my wife Kayla and I saw our photographs was as a slideshow. If you've ever seen one of Johannes' slideshows, you'll know how beautiful they are. We were drawn in by the imagery, the music, the timing. And having not seen our photos until that point, we instantly felt a strong connection to them. Framing them in a slideshow format helped tell our To View More >>

Hello dears! Those youngsters at Queensberry are very sweet, but sometimes I think they only let me talk to you when there's something that they'd rather not say themselves. I was in vacuuming this morning when Sonya skyped me (yes, I may be 76 but I do have the interweb!) and said there are a few people who don't understand why Photojunction has a problem reporter. They say it's frustrating and they don't think it benefits them at all. Sonya I said, you're a lovely young lady, and I'm rather busy – why don't you tell them yourself? Well it was your idea, Nanny, she said, and besides you have To View More >>

I was listening to a lovely song by Amy Seeley and was imagining images in my head. The song is haunting and has a feeling of being connected to a story. When I think about stories I usually think in a visual way. Creating a relationship between sound and imagery that isn't literal is a powerful thing. That is the difference between an album of images from a wedding, and the emotional and visual journey that is an album as a story, a collection of memories, a journey, a love, and a destination. One is a set of pictures, and the other is a visual and emotional soundscape - a song in my head. What To View More >>

Nigel's post about Chris MacKenzie creating his own luck reminded me the world is full of opportunities. The problem is to recognise them and take action. I was at a seminar in the States 2-3 years ago, a roomful of high net worth business people plus me. We got to talking about Queensberry, and wedding albums in general. Not one of them had ever seen a Queensberry or anything like it. One guy had recently married at an exclusive Carribean resort … spent a gazillion bucks on the event … and "ticked the box" for a shoot-and-burn DVD from the resort's tame photographer. I had to go and get an To View More >>

Mathilde shares the couple's love story explaining, "Barbara and Ludovic first fell in love at the age of nine before moving away from each other. After 21 years apart, they met again several years ago and both felt like nothing had ever changed between them.
