Our great friend and sometime collaborator Steve T from Ibex internet has been helping us with our branding and identity on the face book business page.

One of the things that we are doing is enhancing the  banner that runs alongside the page on the left hand side and we need to select an image.

At the moment our Face book business page covers both the wedding and portrait photography side of our business.

When I told a friend of ours that we were trying to select a single photograph that might represent our ‘brand’ of photography (perhaps style would be a better word here) she suggested we might need a drink afterwards…

“A difficult task as all are amazing. You’ll no doubt end up with brain drain. Best have a bevie when you’re done. Good luck!”

Very nice comment Amanda – thankyou x –  but about as helpful as a chocolate fire guard!

So we have started with our wedding photography images and the question is how do we select a single image that sums up our style?

Should it be black and white or colour? A photograph of the bride and groom? A shot of the speeches? A picture of the bride with her grandmother perhaps?

Although we travel the country to cover weddings most of our clients get married here in the lake district so should the image show the lakes or the mountains?

More to the point: our bride and groom will often have 200 plus photographs from their wedding day  and when we design their album the photographs run as a story book with each picture being part of the over all narative.

So how can we choose just one? Perhaps we shouldn’t but we are going to have fun trying, here are a few we have been thinking about – more to come in part 2.

In the mean time we are off to the pub!
