Beautiful
Memories. Some of the most beautiful memories a
man and a woman will ever share are memories of their wedding day.
Del has many photographic skills to help him capture your memories,
but his greatest gift is his intuition, informed by years of experience,
that draw him to the most "telling moments" that unfold
over the course of a wedding. Del has personally photographed over
800 weddings in 22 years and in every wedding he has gone out with
the goal of creating unique photographs that are more exciting and
beautiful than anything he has done before. He is an award winning,
nationally recognized photographer with work published several times
in art journals, books and magazines. He has had twenty-five exhibitions
in the U.S. and Canada and was honored to have a series of photographs
made part of the permanent collection in a museum in New York .
Del looks back on previous work and successes as the foundation
for creating even more beautiful work for his clients in the future.
You will cherish the memories saved in your photographs and in the
years to come, they will bring back all the happiness you shared
with one another that day. Del Ryder Photography has offices in
Huntington Beach, CA, and opened in Fresno, CA in late 2005. You

Hi, since you're here you must
be engaged. So, congratulations!
We believe choosing a photographer
is the most important decision you will make in the planning of
your wedding. Most couples believe photographs are the best way
to preserve the memories of their big day in the years to come.
What kind of memories will they be? There are a millon photographers
out there. So why choose us?? What makes us special? Here are a
few things you should know about us: We've got the experience. We've
done over 800 weddings in 22 years with many of our photographs
published in books and national magazines. And these were not ads
placed by us, but mutli- image wedding stories sponsored by the
magazines to show upcoming brides creative wedding photography.
We have state of the art equipment, the photographer has an easy
going personality and our ability to work efficiently under pressure
within definite time limits means we get the shots that others may
miss.
On the artistic side, Del Ryder
has a fast paced "On the Fly" style that differentiates
him from other photographers. His photojournalistic approach to
weddings enables him to capture a more spirited look in his photographs.
Photographers (whether they intend to be or not) are interpreters...
they translate wedding events into photographs and the photographs
become your memories. Del has been influenced by his training in
Psychology ( M.S, Syracuse University ) before becoming a wedding
photographer. He has a great respect and admiration for individual
differences among people. His training has also helped him trust
his own instincts and keep an open mind in all situations. He is
sensitive to all the possibilities for taking those creative, telling
photographs that become a testament to a wedding that was uniquely
yours. So, have fun planning your wedding and be sure to give Del
a call. He would love to hear from you and join your team.
Del
Ryder's career began as a fine art photographer in New York.. He
has had twenty five exhibitions in the U.S. and Canada featuring
social documentary photography and photojournalism and was honored
to have his work entered into the permanent collection of The Everson
Museum of Art in New York.
In
1986 Del moved his family to Seal Beach in Orange County California.
By the mid 1990's Del became a key California photographer helping
shape a style of wedding photography that was to become known as
"wedding photojournalism." By blending his New York and
Los Angeles social documentary photography into weddings, he created
his own unique "on the fly" style that captures the excitement
of life on the move. His work has exceeded the highest expectations
of his clients and many photographs from these "real weddings"
have been published nationally in several magazine feature articles
[CLICK HERE],
art journals, and photographic books.
Del
expanded his wedding business and opened in Fresno in December 2005.
He travels throughout California and the U.S. for destination weddings.

Leather Craftsmen 3500 Album
-
You keep
three full sets of Wedding
Photographs. One set is all 5x7's
in color and two sets are all 4x6's.

printed on Fuji Professional Photographic
Paper and you get hundreds of photographs in each set...
ready to pick up in 1-3 weeks after your wedding. The 4x6 sets of

Our clients often mix the 4x6 photographs with 5x7's and put them
in the Large Art Leather Futura Album included in this package.
Sometimes they use the 4x6 sets (with matching files on a CD) as
an alternative to the typically small Parent Albums that many other
studios offer that include only 20-30 photographs. Our package can
give your parents the entire first set ( hundreds ) of original
photographs taken at the wedding with the added capability to make
enlarged photographs ( 8x10, 5x7's, etc.) from the CD at their own
lab or on their home printer anytime they want. Please note that
preview albums to hold up to 200 of the photographs are included
with all first sets.

of your high resolution digital files on
master CD's that match your photographs in the first sets.

two sets of 4x6 photographs within 1-3 weeks after your wedding.

A
Large Deluxe Art Leather Futura 8x10 Album (approx. 14x12.5

or 4x6's or any combination of 8x10's, 5x7's or 4x6's from the photographs

the details of your wedding day using your 5x7 and 4x6 photographs.

many photography studios worldwide as their premiere album. You
also get a 5x7 and two 4x6 preview albums that can hold up to 200
photographs each. As we mentioned earlier, these preview albums
can be used as parent albums or to store your photographs that you
did not choose to put in your Large Art Leather Album.

The
Photographer's Cut- A work of art displayed in the best 8x10
Magazine Style Album:
This second 8x10 album is the most exciting
feature of the package and very different than your Art Leather
8x10 Album described above.
It is a Leather Craftsmen 3500 Series Flush Mount Magazine Style
Coffee Table Album with Euro Leather Cover, cover photograph,
and imprinting. Whereas
the Art Leather 8x10 Album is perfect for showing all the hundreds
of little details of your wedding using 5x7 and 4x6 photographs,
the Leather Craftsmen 3500 Album is best used to display a selection
of your favorite photographs which will then be made into graphically
enhanced 8x10's and flush mounted to the pages in the album.
Del Ryder will personally design each photograph and page layout
in Photoshop. Follow-through like this is rare since most photographers
send their digital files to the album companies where their
staff members drop the photographs into preformed templates.
Del believes that the design skills he uses to capture images
should blend with unique graphic design to creatively support
the photographs within the page layouts. In this way, the creative
vision of the artist will be seen from start to finish... from
image capture to album delivery. Also, the "spirit of your
wedding day" can only be brought forward into your wedding
album by someone who actually experienced your wedding firsthand.
By using this holistic approach, a wedding album can truly be
a one of a kind work of art.
Your Leather
Craftsmen 3500 Album will have 24 pages with the 24 - 8x10 photographs
included. Highlight images from your wedding will be selected,
enhanced in Photoshop and then graphically woven into your album
to tell the story of your wedding day from the Artist's Perspective.
This album is without a doubt the most elegant album on the
market today and it is extremely well made. It has a timeless
feel and is a classic work of art in itself. The Del Ryder Photography
logo will be embossed in the central lower section of the inside
front cover.
As a gift from
the artist, you will receive an additional set of the 24 photographs
used in the Leather Craftsmen album as 24 extra loose 8x10 photographs
and will be encased in an acid free protective portfolio box.
The digital files that produced the 8x10 photographs will be
burned to a CD and presented to you in a personalized jewel
case.

Alot of my clients have asked
me how I got started in wedding photography. I was a high school counselor
and teaching a course in photography for 11th and 12th grade students.
Word got out that I could take good photographs and before long I photographed
a wedding for a teacher. I had fun doing the wedding and the bride loved
her photographs.
I worked full time at the school,
so it only took about a year before I had more weddings than I could
handle. I got to that place they call the "fork in the road"
and had to make a decision. The prospect of becoming a photographer
was financially realistic, so I jumped in and went full speed ahead.
I feel very fortunate to have found work that I love to do, that is
personally rewarding for me, and is so important to my clients. At this
time I have photographed over 600 weddings.
