Satellite wedding photography service

Satellite wedding photography

As many of you know, a driving force behind my work is continuously pushing the envelope when it comes to innovation in wedding photography. This past year I have incorporated many new pieces of technology into my photographer’s kit, including the use of drones and 360 virtual reality video – all as part of my normal service to my wedding photography clients. I’m also continually winning awards for my consistently high quality work, but I feel this announcement is going to rock the wedding photography world.

t’s all well and good producing high quality photographs and amazing imagery for my clients, but I feel it’s my duty as a professional photographer to continually investigate what is available – and bring it to my clients. As a result of this search, I’m pleased to announce a world first in cutting-edge wedding photography – Satellite wedding photography.

Satellite wedding photography – Available now!

Along with all the other incredible services already provided to my wedding couples, I will be offering the use of my personal SvenStudios satellite in order to take photos from the unique perspective only afforded by using an orbiting satellite!

Having your wedding photographs taken from an altitude of 35,000km really brings out the genuine emotion you’ll be feeling on your big day and allows for your photo to be taken with relatives that can’t attend your wedding, even if they are on the other side of the country! So much for live streaming your wedding using virtual reality technology as provided by our guest360 service!

This new service literally allows for the magnitude of the emotion you’ll be feeling on your big day shine right across the face of the Earth in a way not before possible!

For those techno junkies out there, above are images of the launch of the SvenStudios satellite along with a photograph of it’s mounted camera. I have spared no expense in bringing this new service to my future wedding photography clients and have left no stone unturned in utilising all available technology. The satellite is in a customizable geo-synchronous orbit, generally residing over Adelaide as most of my clients are Adelaide-based, but can be adjusted as shown by a photograph I took of a wedding in Tasmania below.

The camera itself incorporates a 1033 megapixel sensor and is sensitive enough to pick out the general landmarks you’re getting married near! Check out from sample images I’ve taken at actual weddings while I’ve been testing it.

Can’t you just feel the love in these photos? Why settle for only overhead drone photography – which we also offer – when you can opt for these incredible scenes available through the SvenStudios Satellite wedding photography service?

This service will be provided for free for all future wedding clients who comment below, which is an exciting offer as I will need to start charging for these services or my wife will disown me.. (PLEASE don’t mention to her I purchased a satellite… It’s bad enough I keep buying camera equipment…)

Announcing X-ray Wedding Photography

/in , , ,

X-ray Wedding Photography

Since the dawn of photography, it has always been the photographer’s goal to capture the inner soul of their subject in photographic form. Capturing the emotions of the moment and telling a story as it happens in a split second of time is the essence of the goal that many wedding photographers set out to achieve – myself included. With this mindset, it’s with great excitement that I am announcing a new service I’m providing to all my wedding photography clients; X-ray Wedding Photography.

X-Ray Wedding Photography

Photography has always had the goal of capturing pure emotion, beyond the outer appearance of the subject being photographed, so using x-rays I’m able to pierce the upper levels of your skin, allowing me to photograph your inner beauty and emotions – literally. My portable x-ray camera (pictured below) allows for seamless integration of X-ray wedding photography to your special day, and the result would be a highly unique keepsake.

In keeping with my mantra of keeping up with the cutting edge in photographic technology, I’m always keen on providing my clients with that absolute best technology has to offer. With my rollout of satellite wedding photography last year, and of course my drone and 360 Virtual Reality services, no other photographers in Australia offer this kind of service.

Portable X-Ray Machine

As with many of my new services, I like to roll out my new offerings for free to already booked wedding clients, and I’ve developed my X-ray Wedding Photography process over the last few months – with the amazing results pictured below. As this is still a fledgeling service, I will still be offering this service for free, at least for the foreseeable future – just because I believe every angle of a wedding should be captured at the best of my ability.

I anticipate the demand for this kind of service will inundate me with bookings for the next 5 years at least, much in the same way as my super popular satellite wedding photography rollout last year. So get in touch now in order to secure my services and you too can have a unique memento of the inside of your bodies from your wedding day!

Odorgraphy – A new way to experience your wedding photos

Odorgraphy – A new way to experience your wedding photography

I’m super pleased to announce – exclusive to SvenStudios – a new paradigm in wedding photography immersion! Odorgraphy is a patented approach to recording your photography on your wedding day while also, simultaneously recording the smell of the moment! This means you’re able to relive that moment the photograph was taken while also experiencing the most intense sensation from your sense of smell!

Experts agree that when combining your sense of smell with a visual stimuli, the memory of that moment is enhanced several fold, allowing you to relive your day in the most remarkable way! When combined with the SvenStudios guest360 virtual reality service, you’re able to relive your day using all 5 of your senses – aside from touch. The sense of smell is possibly the most underused of senses when used to record and relive an event such as a wedding, so we felt it was high time that trend was reversed. Having the odor of your day wafting from the pages of your wedding album, or from framed prints on your walls will transport you back to the time the photograph was taken and bring a flood of memories back to brighten your day!

At SvenStudios we pride ourselves in our ability to transport you back to the most important moments in your lives through our imagery, and with the development of odorgraphy, this is just another step to better fulfill that goal. In the past we have developed wedding satellite imagery, and wedding x-ray photography, and when combined with our drone and virtual reality services, you’d be hard pressed in finding another wedding photographer that is this dedicated in bringing technology to your wedding day with the sole goal of allowing you to relive your day in the most incredible way!

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!

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!

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

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!

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!
