Hear the Moment Audio Albums: A Symphony of Memories

At SvenStudios, we’ve always been at the forefront of capturing love stories in the most unique and sensory-rich ways imaginable. Following the success and sensational reception of our pioneering Odorgraphy service, which allowed you to not just see but smell your memories, we’re excited to unveil our latest innovation in wedding photography: “Hear the Moment” Audio Albums.

About “Hear the Moment”

The ‘Hear the Moment’ service takes your wedding album to a whole new dimension. Throughout your day we combine state-of-the-art audio capture technology with traditional photography to create an album that not only showcases your wedding photos in stunning clarity but also plays the actual sounds from those captured moments as you view them.

The Technology Behind the Magic

Our Hear the Moment albums bring your wedding memories to life using the latest eye-tracking technology and hidden speakers built right into the album’s pages. As you look at a photo, the album plays back the sound from that moment, whether it’s your heartfelt vows, the laughter from speeches, or quiet whispers between you and your partner.

We’ve carefully recorded each sound to make sure you can hear every detail just as it happened, making your photo viewing experience much more than just looking at pictures. Now, you can hear the change in your partner’s voice when they first saw you, or everyone’s gasps when you said “I do.” This adds a whole new layer to reliving your wedding day, making it feel richer and more vivid.

The eye-tracking technology works so smoothly that it knows exactly when to play each sound, making sure it enhances the moment without getting in the way. Plus, the speakers are designed to be part of the album without taking away from the beauty of your photos. This way, you get to enjoy a full sensory experience that truly brings your special day back to life.

A Symphony of Senses

Imagine flipping through your wedding album and as you gaze upon a photo of your first dance, you’re greeted with the soft melody that filled the room, or as you look at the image of your cake, you can almost taste the sweetness, thanks to our Odorgraphy feature that releases the delicate scent of your wedding cake into the air. “Hear the Moment” isn’t just an album; it’s an experience, a time capsule, and a treasure trove of sensory memories.

Odorgraphy is a service we introduced on this date a few years ago that has become quite popular over the years to better immerse yourself into the moment that much better thana simple photo – now with Hear the Moment we’ve taken the concept one step better!

How to Experience “Hear the Moment”

This remarkable service is now available as part of our exclusive wedding photography packages. Given the intricate technology and customization involved, we’re offering this service to a select number of couples each year, ensuring that each “Hear the Moment” album is crafted with the utmost care and personal attention.

As this is new technology – we need to limit production of these albums to only those who book with SvenStudios today – and only today.

Embracing the Future of Wedding Photography

With “Hear the Moment,” we continue our commitment to not just documenting your wedding day but preserving it in a way that feels alive and tangible. This service, alongside our beloved “Odorgraphy,” sets a new standard for what wedding albums can be—transforming them from mere collections of photographs into rich, multi-sensory journeys back in time.

We invite you to embark on this sensory-rich journey with us. Let’s capture not just the sights but the sounds and scents of your wedding day, creating a masterpiece that you will cherish for a lifetime.

Introducing the ‘Unphotographed Wedding’ Service

We at SvenStudios are thrilled to announce our latest service, the “Unphotographed Wedding” system. This cutting-edge AI technology is set to revolutionize the wedding photography industry and give couples a brand new way to capture their special day.

At SvenStudios, we’re always looking for ways to innovate and push the boundaries of the wedding photography industry, in the past we have developed such innovative services as Odorgraphy, Wedding Re-Live and the ever popular Robotic wedding service.

What is the Unphotographed Wedding system?

With the Unphotographed Wedding system, couples will no longer have to worry about the stress and pressure of traditional wedding photography. Our advanced algorithms will create a digital simulation of the couple’s wedding day, using information such as venue, color scheme, and attire to create a realistic representation.

All that’s needed is a few photos of the couple being married, a vague venue idea and we will run it through a simulation – you don’t even have to get off your couch!

Unphotographed Wedding AI Wedding Photo

This is wedding photography without having to have the wedding, nor the photography. Perfect for for those who don’t really care for the whole ‘wedding’ thing.

Once the digital simulation is complete, our AI system will take over, capturing stunning images of the simulated wedding from every angle. The resulting photos are compiled into a beautiful digital album, which can be shared with friends and family or printed out as physical copies.

We understand that not everyone is comfortable standing in front of a camera, and that’s where the Unphotographed Wedding system comes in. It’s the perfect solution for couples who want beautiful, high-quality wedding photos without the need for a physical ceremony or photographer.

We’re already receiving inquiries from excited couples who can’t wait to try out this new service, and we’re thrilled to be at the forefront of this exciting new technology. So if you’re looking for a stress-free, hassle-free way to capture your special day, look no further than SvenStudios and our Unphotographed Wedding system.

While we’re excited about the potential of this cutting-edge AI technology, we want to be upfront that the images produced by the Unphotographed Wedding system aren’t yet perfect. We’re still fine-tuning the algorithms and working to ensure that the digital simulation accurately reflects the couple’s wedding day.

However, we’re confident that we’ll have everything perfected soon, and we’re excited to roll out the service in full within the coming months – perhaps before April 1st, 2024.

During the trial period, we’re offering a limited number of couples the opportunity to try out the Unphotographed Wedding system at a reduced rate. This will allow us to gather feedback and make any necessary adjustments before the official launch.

We believe that the Unphotographed Wedding system has the potential to revolutionize the way that couples approach their wedding photography, and we’re excited to be at the forefront of this exciting new technology. Stay tuned for updates on our progress, and we can’t wait to share this innovative new service with you soon!

Journey of Development

Developing the Unphotographed Wedding system has not been without its challenges. Our team has spent countless hours fine-tuning the AI algorithms and working to ensure that the digital simulation accurately reflects the couple’s wedding day. However, we’re proud to say that we’ve made significant progress in creating realistic wedding photos through this innovative technology. With each trial run, we continue to refine the system and improve its accuracy, ensuring that the final product will be truly exceptional.

Below are a few early prototype images generated by our patented ‘SvenStudios AI’. Obviously we’ve come a long way!

Relive your wedding day, your way with Wedding re-LIVE

I’m sure you’ve all heard stories of bridal couples who have had some small hiccup, or story from their big day in which they wish they could do something differently. Well, that need not be you for your own wedding!

The product development team at Svenstudios have been hard at work building upon our already impressive array of technologies developed in order to better enjoy the memories from your big day. From the developers of Instant wedding photography, robotic wedding ceremonies, a fan favourite odorgraphy and many more – comes ‘Wedding re-LIVE’.

Wedding re-LIVE

With the incredible Wedding re-LIVE service exclusively from SvenStudios, you are able to utilise the very latest in virtual reality and deep fake technologies to not only relive your wedding day – but actually interact with what happens on your day as if it were a computer game.

Using a Virtual Reality headset you basically take control of your own self as recorded on your wedding day, and walk around your wedding venue as if you were a marionette puppeteer. In this way you’re able to talk to your guests – visit areas you never did, or perhaps watch uncle Jim drunkenly meander out the gate as you had heard it was hilarious from your geusts but you missed it as you were busy with your first dance!

How does it work?

Before your day, I will dillegently scan your wedding venue using the latest in 360 degree cameras and mapping hardware in order to produce an intricately detailed 3D map of the entire space. This involves running about with a camera on a pole. The more I scan, the father you can walk around in virtual reality with your self as your ‘game’ character!

I then import all the data I created into the Unreal Engine – which is software that underpins many modern games to a degree that reality and gaming becomes blurred due to the realistic textures I captured while scanning your venue.

Unreal Ed

Finally all I need is to have you, as the bride and/or groom wear a discreet 360 camera on a pole that sticks out of your back, all day. You wont even know it’s there! This camera records your movements, speech patterns and personality in such a way that SvenStudios can now use that data to program how your guests interact with your virtual avatar when using the Wedding re-LIVE service!

The result being a completely immersive, and highly customiseable way to relive your day, in the way you want!

Perhaps you said something stupid to the wait staff? We’ve all been there – Enjoy your meal sir! “YOU TOO!” – god what an idiot! Relive your wedding with Wedding re-LIVE and that sort of thing won’t happen again!

Bride and groom through the pine trees

This service of course extends on the already ground breaking 360 degree filming of your wedding ceremony that we offer for free with any wedding we cover as either your wedding photograoher or videographer and we feel as though this is the next logical step in better recording your wedding day and your memories in the most realistic way possible.

Be sure to get in contact to have us utilise this pioneering new service at your own wedding day. You certainly will not regret it – just as long as you don’t look at the date and are willing to have a bit of a laugh at your own expense!

Introducing instant wedding photography – SvenStudios

Introducing instant wedding photography

These past few months, as many in the wedding industry can attest – has been absolutely hectic – with the COVID-19 pandemic putting a halt to most weddings during much of 2020, only to have them all postpone to around about NOW. I myself had to postpone 18 weddings last year only to have them all re-book to late 2020 to early 2021.

As a result, wedding suppliers such as myself have found myself a little behind on work and having to issue apologies to their bridal couples for being a little behind… I usually say up to 2 months in order to recieve your wedding photos, but lately it’s streched to almost 3 months – Sorry about that! I’m working flat out to make up for the lost time.

To combat this problem in the future, I’ve thought long and hard about how to provide instant wedding photography… and the answer was staring myself in the face the whole time! I’ve been providing instant wedding photography for years in the form of my photobooth! So I figured I could simply strap my photobooth to my back and run around all day printing photos!

This is of course so much better than going out and buying a instamatic or polaroid camera as the image quaility of those things are horrendous.

I needed to modify my new instant wedding photography design to that it was more portable. I needed to add a portable power source in order for it to operate while out and about – which only added another 20kg so naturally with my godlike physique this was nothing to the 20kg in camera gear I was already carrying around with me on a wedding day.

The way I’ve designed this unique solution to the plague of waiting for wedding photographs to be produced is such that it will algorithmically select images worth keeping – selecting the in focus, and visually pleasing images and automatically print them into a neat little folder which I will then hand over to my bridal couple at the end of their day. My design can print images up to A2 in size, so the very next day you could have beautiful wall art plastered all over your house’s walls!

Instant wedding photography in action

The insides of the box that I will be carrying about on my back contains an A2 printer, storage space for the prints it produces and a computer in order to store, select and lightly edit the photographs I am taking during your day. This is not a stop-gap solution – I pride myself in the quality of work I produce for my wedding couples and the standard of work my instant wedding photography solution provides will be sure to impress!

Despite me having to visit the chiropractor after every wedding I shoot..

I’ll be rolling this service out at every wedding I shoot this morning, April 1st so look out for a phtoographer with what looks to be a fridge strapped to his back!

Announcing the remote robotic wedding service

Announcing the SvenStudios remote robotic wedding service

Times are hard right now – the COVID-19 pandemic is wreaking havok on our way of life and people are being forced into lockdown – forgoing normal activities, meeting with friends and even postponing weddings. It’s a terribly tough situation. So we at SvenStudios have decided to provide a bit of a smile to your faces in the form of our new remote robotic wedding service!

In light of the new social distancing measures in force in Australia, and right around the world, people are being forced apart, and having to rely on technology to come together. So, thinking of how we can improve on our already useful virtual reality streaming service, we have the perfect way to conduct your wedding without having to worry about the ‘5 people present’ rule currently in effect across Australia to minimise the spread of the virus. Just take a peek at this shot I recently took of Alice and Dion during their remote robotic wedding ceremony! You are now able to attend your own wedding by using a remote controlled robot with your face on it!

Technology is creeping and getting better at an incredible rate, it’s only in the last few years that drones have become a common sight at a wedding, buzzing about taking shots from the air. Even underwater robots have now found their way into my photographic arsenal when capturing a wedding. Also combining the incredible innovations SvenStudios has announced each April 1st, this remote robotic wedding service was a natural progression to our commitment in bringing the absolute best technology to your day.

Robots from the Double Robotics firm, under instruction by SvenStudios are able to take your place at the altar while you stay at home, practicing social distancing on your sofa and get married at your dream venue! Even your celebrant and witnesses are able to utilise this technology and attend to make the whole operation completely legal! Your guests can also attend via a live streaming virtual reality feed that SvenStudios have already been offering at every wedding we cover as your wedding photographer.

The great thing about this whole set up is that you are now free to have your photographer and videographer on site to take photos of your robotic selves being all romantic without having to worry about leaving your house, or the pesky five person limit at your wedding! How good is that!?

To be honest it was the South Park episode A Nightmare on Face Time which gave me the idea to develop the remote robotic wedding service. It made me wonder why people have not been using this sort of technology before now to venture to places otherwise unaccessible to some people. Now with the government mandated social distancing being enforced on gatherings like weddings, I felt as though this technology was a no brainer to start being used in this way!

A nightmare on face time

If you are interested in having the SvenStudios remote robotic wedding service help out with your situation by allowing your wedding to go ahead in the location you were most hoping for, then get in contact with us using this special form. As you can imagine, along with the Satellite wedding photography, x-ray wedding photography and wedding odorgraphy previously announced on the same date each year, we are going to be fairly busy with a huge innundation of requests to cover weddings with this new remote robotic wedding service. We only ask for you to bear with us while we wade through all of the thousands of wedding couples we are sure will be clamouring to be photographed as a robot on their wedding day!
