Really?
Yes really! A revolution in 3D imaging is here with the first 120hz 22 inch 3D monitor by Samsung already on the market at around $500. Read about the the new 3D products coming very soon here and here. With the push from gaming companies wanting to produce and sell their computer games in 3D, and with the breakthrough technology of the film Avatar, soon all our TV's, computers and phones will be 3D capable. Sony have just released a 3D TV and all the major TV makers are releasing 3D TV's this year. Play Station is about to go 3D and there is even a 3D digital photo frame available already!
So although you may not have the screen for being able to view the incredible 3D images of your wedding right now, in the near future it's very likely you will.
Imagine being able to look back on your special day in 3D! It's as close to being there without a time machine that you are going to get, the feeling of space is quite amazing. Imagine your grandchildren feeling like they were there!
How do you take them?
All 3D images are produced in basically the same way, using two slightly different images from different angles. Our eyes always see two slightly different images and our minds put these two images together to give the illusion of depth that we take for granted on a daily basis.
Your 3D wedding images will be taken with a special double camera rig that takes two high resolution images at the same time from different angles. These images are then put together in a computer program to form a third image which can be viewed in many different ways, as you can read about below. Taking 3D images is more complex than ordinary 2D images, and literally a whole new dimension needs to be taken into account. There are mathematical formulas for the correct sense of space, and techniques for getting the correct angles and exposures that are different to ordinary photography. The skill of a professional is being able to take these new parameters into account whilst still concentrating on all the usual important things like lighting, composition, creativity, depth of field, shutter speed, etc. All this simply means the photographers start the day with 3 coffees instead of the usual two.
Of course we can't show you the amazingness of 3D here just yet,
but can you imagine these images in 3D?

So how do we view these 3D pictures?
There are many ways to view 3D images. In the past red and blue glasses were commonly used to separate the two different images for each eye.
Today new technology is bringing high definition 3D images to our computer and television screens, even our phones! As well as a 3D screen, at this stage you will need a software package by NVIDIA which comes with new cool looking high tech electronic 3D glasses, not like the old red and blue cardboard ones.
It is highly likely that as this new technology competes for market positions, many new systems and screens will arrive, becoming ever cheaper as is the usual way with new technology.
There are even ways to view 3D images without 3D glasses. The effect is quite impressive, though not everyone is able to do it. If you want to see if your eyes can do it without 3D glasses, click HERE and give it a go!
As well as that, technology is working on ways to develop screens and monitors that don't even require glasses! There are some basic versions of these already available.
Do you take the entire wedding in 3D?
Generally no, as the camera system is quite bulky and not suited for the fast camera work of an entire wedding. However as technology improves and smaller more high resolution 3D cameras become available, it may be possible.
For now we would simply allot a specific time or two at the wedding for some special 3D images, usually during the time allotted for couple shots after the ceremony, but of course it is your choice. Although all images look amazing in 3D, there are certain scenes that work very well such as the above two. When such scenes present themselves, we might just set up the 3D rig anyway!
Will we still have 'normal' wedding photos?
Absolutely! You will still have all the brilliant 2D wedding photos you would normally have, the only difference is that you will ALSO have some incredible 3D images! Any images the 3D camera takes are also viewable as completely normal 2D photographs, if you prefer. They can also be printed and put in an album as standard prints.
Can we see what they look like before we order?
Yes. If you are interested in getting 3D pictures of your wedding, contact us and we can show you on our 3D screen what they look like.
How much?
The Orchid package currently includes 10 3D images, but you can have 3D amazingness with any package you choose. As an introductory offer we are offering 10 amazing 3D wedding images for $500.
A brief history of 3D
Believe it or not, 3D technology has been around for 170 years. You may have seen a device called a Stereoscope in antique shops. Using one of these devices, the viewer looked through two lenses much like binoculars and viewed two photographic images on a card. The result was a true 3D image, though the quality was limited to the quality of the photographs at the time which were usually sepia or black and white.
3D imagery again became popular in the 1950's when it was all the rage in movies wearing coloured glasses.
Now in 2010 a new revolution in 3D is currently underway with everything from movies to sports events to computer games, which will soon enable us to view a new world of high definition 3D images on our computer screens and televisions.
