Back to School - So what can I DO with my photos?

OOOOOoooooo now This is the fun part!

All of our Wedding Packages contain a DVD of images. We believe that you deserve digital versions of your images, as we do live in a digital world and we like to show off our images on Facebook, or other social media, email them to Auntie Martha in the UK, or even make a funky Wedding Website for your guests.



The downside of this digital revolution is that your images are not treasured the way they were 10-20 years ago. Your images stay in digital form, sitting on your hard drive, hidden on a disk in a draw, or printed on substandard paper, with bad colour reproduction.

The work we do producing your Wedding Images is substantial, the time and talent taken to create this work of art needs to be treated kindly, and with reverence. Any image that is shown as an enlargement needs special care and attention, to show it off in the best possible way.

These is why we provide you with your images, but also encourage you to transform these images into stunning works of art in forms of Enlargements and Wedding Albums, so you can enjoy your precious memories the way they are intended to be viewed.


Our Image DVD's come in 3 versions

1) A Medium Resolution DVD
This is a restricted sized file, 1800x1200p, approximately 700kb Jpg files. They are excellent for online viewing, easily uploaded to Facebook and other social media sites, and can also be printed to 4x6" standard photo size. They are of Proof Editing standard, and This is the DVD that comes with our base Essentials Package.

2) High Resolution DVD
These files are of the same resolution that we use in the studio for 95% of our work. 3500x2300p approximately 2.5MB Jpgs files. These files will print up to an 8x12" photograph without loss of image quality. These DVD's are available in all Album packages and as a option upgrade. Again, these are at Proof Editing level.

3) Platinum Upgrade DVD
As explained in a previous 'Back to School' we have 2 levels of editing, Proof and Premium. A Platinum Upgrade DVD contains 100 of your favorite images, all with Premium Editing applied to them, at a High Resolution size. This DVD comes with our Enlargement Package, and as an optional extra.



So, once you have your DVD, what can you do with it?

Firstly, we recommend you back up your DVD onto your personal computer Hard Drive. This means you are far less likely to loose your precious images!

You’re entitled to print your images for personal use only. This means:

• You CAN print photos for family and friends, and of course for yourself
• You CAN show off your images on Facebook, Wedding Forums, The Sunday Times or enter Wedding Competitions. We welcome this, but do ask you credit the images to us when using them in this manner.
• You CAN give the images to your other wedding vendors, but please advise us first as we may provide images in another manner to vendors.

• You CAN NOT sell your images to 3rd parties, or use them for commercial ventures, advertising or anything that creates revenue from the images.
• You CAN NOT alter the images in any way other than standard cropping for enlargement purposes. This means you can’t change the colour, remove elements, create effects in Photoshop or extremely crop the images. - This one is very important as it completely changes the integrity of our artwork, and is in violation of Copyright laws.


We also prefer you didn’t create products from the images, such as Thankyou Cards, photo books and montages, as we do offer all these products, but this is simply a request. This is because we have strict quality standards on our products and items made by 3rd party companies can not be guaranteed.

And last but not least.....

We always recommend anything larger than 8x12 to be printed though the studio. This is because we have VERY strict quality control, and nothing goes to our clients without a thorough checking for colour, print quality, scratches etc etc - a service thats not always offered by your local print shop - AND you should only ever have the very best displayed on the walls of your home.

Next episode - Im going to run a little experiment to find out exactly what the local labs are producing, and recommend the very best place to get your reprints!
