THE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHS Official Photographer: Steve Cordes from Gainsborough Studio The link above opens a new window or tab in your web browser and takes you to a folder called "Alan - Nam - Wedding Photographs" within Alan's Google Drive cloud storage account. The folder contains a (sub) folder called "Official Photographs", the icon for which you will be able to see. Other folders, whose names will be the names of guests at the Wedding, may be present as well. These folders will contain photographs taken by the named guests and for which these guests have given permission to be shared. The actual link that you followed to get you to this point is https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1bIl6bqn0Sx4gCodmHoYjIzYGNcFrmu3Z?usp=sharing and may be freely passed on to other parties who are interested in viewing and copying the Wedding photographs. Open the "Official Photographs" folder by double-clicking on its icon. You will find that it contains two (sub) folders, "High Resolution" and "Low Resolution". The high resolution versions of the official photographs are 4928×3280 pixels, with a resolution of 300dpi. Each photograph is a jpg image file of size from about 10MB to 15MB. The total size of all 273 photographs is 2.77GB. This resolution is really only necessary for the production of large prints, say a print to frame and hang on a wall. It is suggested that you only download those particular photographs that you require for this purpose. The Official Photographer, Steve Cordes from Gainsborough Studio, can assist you with photograph cropping and touch-up, printing services, framing options etc. The low resolution versions of the official photographs are 1728×1150 pixels, with a resolution of 72dpi. Each photograph is a jpg image file of size from about 1MB to 2MB. The total size of all 273 photographs is 358MB. This resolution is appropriate for viewing on television screens, computer screens, tablets and smartphones, and for use in web sites. At only 358MB total, you may wish to download the entire collection in one fell swoop and then browse the individual photographs at your leisure. Access to the individual photographs is via double-clicking on the "High Resolution" icon or the "Low Resolution" icon, as required. The exact mechanism for downloading the photograph files should be reasonably obvious but does depend on the web browser you are using and your own computer settings.

Thank you to those invitees who gave gifts to the Wedding Couple. We shall email each of you individually with our thanks. Likewise, to those people who sent congratulatory cards. Many invitees took up our option of making a charitable donation in lieu of giving a wedding gift. The Wedding Couple are delighted to announce that in excess of $5,800 was pledged to charities from across a wide spectrum, such as community welfare, overseas aid, medical research and animal welfare. As donation pledges were anonymous, the Wedding Couple say here, "THANK YOU".
