At our full-service photography studio nestled in the heart of Point Pleasant, NJ, we have the privilege of transforming cherished moments into timeless works of art. Last year, Rachel and Bobby entrusted us to document their love story on their wedding day at The Mill Lakeside Manor in Spring Lake. As their one-year anniversary approached, Rachel approached us with a vision – to create a custom framed print wall gallery that would allow them to relive the joy of their special day every time they walked down a hallway of their home.

Crafting a Personalized Narrative

Photography is not just about freezing moments in time; it’s about telling a unique story. Rachel and Bobby’s wedding day was a tapestry of emotions, laughter, and love, and they wanted to weave those memories into the fabric of their everyday lives. The journey to create their custom gallery began with a thoughtful selection process, where the couple handpicked six of their favorite wedding images, each encapsulating a special moment from their wedding day.

The Process

To start, we asked Rachel to photograph the wall they wanted to fill. She was concerned she wouldn’t be able to photograph it well, as the photo had to be taken on an angle in order to fit it fully but we assured her as long as we had something to scale it with, it would work out just fine! She followed the quick and easy directions below and sent us a simple iphone photo of the wall. The 8.5″ x 11″ paper gave us something to use for scale so that we could create realistic mockups for her and Bobby.

Next, we got to work creating their mockups! We started with three general options – a single piece, a quad, and a 6-piece. Rachel loved the one-piece but decided that, ultimately, they love that photo so much that they preferred to save it for when they eventually move to a bigger home where they can feature it best. She liked the idea of featuring multiple images so we created different versions of the 6-piece collection.

Rachel and Bobby decided they loved the six portrait collection. Now the only thing left to do was choose the images, frames, and matting!

Frame Choice

Rachel came in-person to our studio to pick out the frames for their artwork. There’s nothing like seeing frame choices in person to see the color and textures in real life. She chose our Hudson frame, one of our most popular options, and one that we have on display right in the studio.

The Power of Double-Matted Prints

To elevate their chosen images, Rachel and Bobby opted for double-matted prints. The double matting not only added a touch of sophistication but also provided a visual depth that drew the eye to the heart of each photograph. Our studio takes pride in offering personalized options, and the choice of double-matting exemplifies our commitment to tailoring every detail to our clients’ unique preferences.

Turning a Hallway into a Time Capsule

The hallway – a passageway that often goes unnoticed – became the canvas for Rachel and Bobby’s love story. As they pass by their six-piece framed gallery each day, they are transported back to the vows, the dances, and the shared laughter of their wedding day. The hallway, once a transitional space, now serves as a daily reminder of their union.

A Full-Service Experience, Every Step of the Way

As a full-service photography studio, we take pride in offering a seamless experience from the initial consultation to the final product. For Rachel and Bobby, this meant guiding them through the image selection process, presenting layout and framing options, meticulously hand crafting their custom gallery, and personally installing it in their home. Our goal is not only to capture moments but to provide a comprehensive service that turns those moments into cherished art.

Celebrating Love, One Frame at a Time

As Rachel and Bobby celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary just a few months ago, their hallway gallery stands as a testament to the enduring power of love. It’s a celebration not just of a day but of a journey – a journey that we had the privilege of documenting and preserving. At our Point Pleasant studio, we believe in the transformative power of photography, and Rachel and Bobby’s framed print wall gallery is a beautiful example of that belief brought to life.
