My First Display Album

A large heavy box was jammed at the back of the wardrobe, the light film of dust on top of it revealing it had not been moved in many years. Wiggling it free from its resting place, I wondered what was hidden inside. As I lifted the lid carefully, I found what I had deposited in it all those years ago... my first wedding display album I used to showcase my work way back in the mid 1990's.

Moments shared with couples came flooding back as I flicked through the pages. A smile lit my face when I saw an image of my sister-in-law on her wedding day in the album. Julie was a beautiful bride, her wedding was memorable, I remember taking the photo in front of me. The album was made from material totaly different to what we use today, one option people were able to select back then was a gold foil embossing around each image. Styles are different today.

Finding this album made me all sentimental, I remembered the pride I had showing it to prospective clients, I had started on my journey as a wedding photographer.

Do you have a photo album in a cupboard that you have not looked at in many years? Go and find it, turn the pages carefully and remember the moments, if possible, ring the person in the photo and tell them what you have found. Photos take us back to those times in a second. Touching an old album is wonderful; there are no obsolete technology problems to navigate, just images to enjoy.

Reyment Photographics Celebrates 15 Years in 2010!

Help us celebrate through 2010 as we celebrate our 15th birthday.

Reyment Photographics began all those years ago with a dream and a passion to photograph special moments in life. From humble beginnings in our home studio in our front enclosed verandah to today operating from our Old Cleveland Road Coorparoo Studio, we continue to strive to provide our clients with stunning wedding photos and an amazing photography experience.

So what has changed in the last 15 years, especially with wedding photography? We will be taking a retrospective look at where it all began for us, what the styles of photography were and technology (or lack of!) used. What equipment were we using, what were we giving our clients, how much has changed?

Make sure you subscribe to our blog to keep up to date and join in our 15th birthday celebrations.

John Reyment is Back from Europe

"JR" is back!

2009 saw John Reyment, Master Photographer and owner of Reyment Photographics live in Europe with his wife Karen and son Alex. Travel destinations included France, Italy, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.

In the course of their travels, John, Karen and Alex met so many amazing people, many now true friends. John and Karen; a food and travel writer formed the perfect team as they interviewed and photographed so many artisans in the food industry, all willing to share their passion. From cheesemakers to Michelin star chefs, they found people and businesses willing to share their story. Keep an eye on the Australian press for upcoming articles by Karen accompanied by John's magnificent images.

Now that 2010 has arrived, John has returned to the studio at Reyment Photographics with new inspiration, lots of travel stories and of course heaps of wonderful photos. Be sure to keep an eye on our blog and galleries to see some of our latest images. Below are just a few.
