Wedding photography with MobileTravelogue.com

MobileTravelogue.com (bit of a mouthful) are taking moblogging to the wedding masses. The premise is simple. Many guests will have mobile phones and be taking candid wedding shots during the big day or on the hen or stag parties (I shudder at the thought of some of those inebriated shots). The snapper sends in their pictures directly to the site which is then updated in real time from the guests different perspectives, so if you have guests who couldn’t make it, they can still see the action as it happens.

They currently need guinea pigs to try out the service for no charge and with personal page styling. Call Rupert Young on +44 7795 480 387 or sign up for a year’s free service using code WI111

If you’ve set up a moblog and want to recommend another moblog provider do let us know!

Sagem Photo Easy 100 WiFi printer

I’ve mentioned getting a photo printer before. The idea is that most of your guests will have mobile phones or digicams so they can print out their shots at your reception and leave the best ones for you to add to your photo album!

Sagem have just addded two new photo printers to it’s ever expanding range – the Photo Easy 110 and Photo Easy 110 WiFi. Now you’ve probably assumed that means only the latter has WiFi but their names are abit misleading as both in fact have WiFi. The latter just comes with an extra WiFi dongle. Both churn out 6×4 inch prints at 300x300ppi with a protective coating to make them smudge and fingerprint proof. Minor editing such as red-eye reduction and automatic enhancement can be done at the touch of a button.

Photo Confetti

Want confetti that is entirely unique to you? Confoti will use your photographs to create bags of photo confetti for you to scatter across your tables (please don’t throw it outside!) Upload the pics of your choice to the confoti site, then pick your colour themes for solid colour confetti to be mixed in. Next, select the area of the pic you wold like to be duplicated and click save. The final stage (see left for my efforts) will show you how your confetti will look. $19.95 for a large bag

With thanks to sharp-eyed The Bag Lady contributor Rachel for spotting this!

Remains of the day

As you can imagine covering photography for a readership from countries far and wide is a little more difficult than merely recommending Johnny down the road with his telescopic lens to capture close ups of your nuptials.

Of course the answer is clear. D.I.Y! In this day of digi-cam (see Shiny Shiny for the best) anyone can turn photographer. But how do you get those pics for keeps? Epson’s Picturemate 100 is a fine little gadget. It covers a surface space approximately the size of two DVD cases and couldn’t be simpler to operate. Open one slot, pop in the ready cut photo paper, it does its thing and churns out pictures the other end.
