Our Process

Our Process 

We capture your wedding day using only the highest quality professional digital camera equipment.  To keep your memories safe, we also back up these images during the day to portable hard drive equipment and never allow the digital media to leave our possession.  The same evening after your wedding we come back to the office and download the images onto a computer.  For an extra measure of safety the digital files are also burned to DVDs.

 

During the post processing phase, we will select the best photos–between 200 and 600 images, sometimes more.  Your images are then color balanced, adjusted for proper exposure and put onto a DVD to become your proofs. Your proofs are also posted on line for your friends and family to view and order. We attempt to have the processing of your proofs completed and posted within one week of your wedding. During our busy season however it may take a bit longer but never more than 3 weeks.

 

Within the next two weeks after your proofs are ready we take the best images that tell your wedding day story and apply our very own special artwork to them.  These images are posted and known as The Photographer’s Favorites. The photographer’s favorites are not part of the digital negatives but they are included in the album design and available for purchase separately. With these images will we will create and design your wedding album.  The predesigned wedding album is posted to your webpage for you to review and request changes.

 

We’ve discovered that it’s much easier for wedding couples to see a pre-designed album and then make small changes rather than sift through 600 photos to narrow down your favorites. Additionally, when we design your album we may select special photos to use for backgrounds, accessories or other designed elements that people may not normally consider.

 

Once you approve your album design, it is then sent to the binder. About a month later we receive the completed wedding album. Your wedding album is delivered with your digital negatives on a DVD.

 

You are free to print the photos from your digital negatives DVD.  It’s important for us to note however, when we process your photos and have them printed it’s done through a carefully controlled procedure using professional photo labs.  Therefore we cannot guarantee the quality of the photos that you have printed at a local lab or retailer. This is why many wedding couples and their families still prefer to order photos from us online because we guarantee the quality of your photos and we guarantee your satisfaction.
