Hear Your Wedding Photography
5 West Studios introduces the 5 West LiveBook, a photo documentary that combines sound and image, creating a new way to experience wedding photography.

NEW YORK, NY February 14, 2008 – 5 West Studios, a boutique wedding photography studio based in New York City, introduces the 5 West LiveBook. Designed as a companion to traditional albums or as a stand-alone piece, it merges photography with live audio, interviews, and music. It also includes options to integrate 8mm film. Delivered in multiple mediums, 5 West LiveBooks can be viewed online, on DVD, and in other digital formats, allowing couples to relive their day almost anytime, anywhere.

“So many of the cues that trigger emotions and jog our memories are audible. Sound bites, spoken words, even the rustling of a dress can take us back. The 5 West LiveBook infuses imagery with sound, adding a new layer of context and meaning,” says owner and principal photographer Spencer Lum. “Pictures are compelling, but traditionally, we’ve been limited to reprints and albums to view them. We wanted to create a richer experience. Each 5 West LiveBook is fully customized. We edit them just like a movie or documentary.”

5 West Studios is a New York wedding photography and video studio focused on combining editorial and documentary styles. A 5 West LiveBook can be seen at:
