Preserving Your Digital Memories (Infographic)

18th May 2018

The emergence of smartphones has revolutionised and democratised photography; anyone can take a photo whenever they like at the tap of a button. As a result, the number of photos taken has risen exponentially, from 86 billion in the year 2000, to 380 billion in 2010, before hitting a mind-boggling 1.2 trillion photos last year. In fact, we now take more photos every 2 minutes than humanity took in the entire 19th century!

But just what is happening to these billions and billions of photos? Where we used to print photos and treasure them as mementos, many of our photos are now gathering digital dust. Sure, we share some on social media sites like Instagram and Facebook, but the vast majority end up forgotten on smartphones and computers. This puts them at risk of being lost altogether, especially if they’re not backed up. It’s all too easy for our phones to become lost or broken! We tend to take photos of things we care about, so that means treasured memories of friends and family could be lost forever.

With this in mind, we at Mark Lord Photography have created an infographic to explore how our relationship with photos has changed since smartphones became commonplace. It also shares some helpful tips on keeping your photos safe in the long term and making sure they aren’t lost to the sands of time.

An Intimate Wedding – Connie & Richard

3rd April 2018

Recently Samson and I photographed the intimate wedding of Connie & Richard at Maidenhead Registry Office and afterwards at Richard’s parents home.

Samson started the afternoon with the boys at Connie & Richard’s to capture some shots of the lads getting ready.

It was soon time to make their way to the registry office & he did some more shots of them outside.

Meanwhile I was at Richard’s parents home in High Wycombe where Connie was getting ready with Richard’s family & her Mum.

They made their way to the registry in the back of a fabulous vintage Volkswagen campervan.

Meanwhile an expectant groom was awaiting the arrival of his bride. Connie made her way up the aisle on the arm of her proud Mum.

It was a lovely ceremony & before long Connie & Richard made their way outside. We captured some family group photos before taking the happy couple away to do some shots of the two of them.

There was a really good variety of interesting backdrops for the shots of the two of them including the local architecture & of course the iconic campervan.

  

It was soon time for them to follow their guests back to Richard’s parents home for an afternoon of celebrating.

Congratulations Connie & Richard, wishing you every happiness. We hope you enjoy your sneak peek.

Kieran & Sam – A Tythe Barn Wedding

19th February 2018

Samson & I headed up to the Tythe Barn a few weeks ago to photograph the wedding of Kieran & Sam. I headed straight to The Nook to photograph Sam getting ready. The Nook is the Tythe Barn’s dedicated bridal preparation area. No need to get ready in a hotel room with not enough room or mirrors before squishing you & your dress into the back of the car for the journey to the venue. The Nook is a beautiful space full of style & elegance & is a wonderful place for bridal preparations. Sam was dressed in her first dress of the day as this was a wedding with more than one ceremony. Once she was ready she made the short walk through the gardens to the barn where her groom was waiting for her.

 

Whilst I was in the Nook with the bridal party Samson was in the barn capturing images of the groom, best man & ushers & all the guests arriving.

Everyone was excitedly awaiting the bride as she made her way into the barn with the warm smiles of their friends & families waiting for them. It was a lovely ceremony & the happy couple made their way back down the aisle. Now, with your average wedding this is when we would move onto the drinks reception but not today. Sam would be changing into her next ceremony outfit soon so we did some family group photos whilst she was in her dress & then took the couple away to do some images of the two of them.

 

Sam was then whisked off to The Nook to be prepared for the next ceremony. Her Mum & Aunt helped her into her sari & then Laura from the barn helped her back to the barn with the aid of an umbrella.

The next ceremony was a Poruwa ceremony which is a traditional Sri Lankan wedding ceremony. The ceremony takes place on a “Poruwa”, a beautifully decorated, traditional wooden platform. The ceremony involves a series of rituals performed by the bride and groom, and their families. The bride and groom enter the Poruwa leading with the right foot first. They greet each other with palms held together & the ceremony celebrant then presents betel leaves to the couple, which they accept, and hand back to him to be placed on the Poruwa.

It is always really interesting to photograph ceremonies that are not the standard church or civil ceremony. There were lots of symbolic events during the Poruwa including when Sam’s Mum then presented a plate of rice to Sam who fed a piece to Kieran & then Kieran fed some to Sam. As the newly married couple steps down from the Poruwa, the groom’s family member breaks a fresh coconut – we managed to get an action shot as he was soaked! Apparently it bodes well for a good marriage when the coconut is smashed well…no pressure!

After the ceremony we did some more group shots whilst Sam was in her sari & then took the couple out to do some shots of them when the rain lessened. As I was photographing them their guests gathered in the Cow Shed & before long Sam & Kieran joined them to chat & celebrate their wedding.

It was soon time for them all to make their way into the main barn for the wedding breakfast & speeches. After a wonderful meal & some lovely speeches everyone went back to the Cow Shed for coffee & to cut the cake.

After a little while relaxing it was soon time for the first dance & for everyone to hit the dancefloor. Now this wasn’t any disco or band but a ceilidh band with a caller. Soon they had everyone flinging themselves around the dancefloor to their instructions as they twirled around & Do-si-do’d at top speed!
