You may have heard in our last email newsletter that we are now offering free downloads for all weddings and events we photograph. If you didn’t receive our last email newsletter, you can sign up to receive our next one in September!
We’ve received a few questions about this exciting new offer, so hopefully we can answer all your questions about them right here. If you have further questions or want to know more about our wedding photography prices and offerings, please connect with us!
Do you offer free downloads of all the images from an event or just a small selection of pictures? We offer free downloads of every image we deliver to our clients in their online wedding gallery. Every image is free and is optimized for use on the internet and includes our studio watermark.
Are there restrictions regarding how to use or display the freely downloaded images? First, you’re welcome to share the images wherever you like. Email them. Blog them. Put them on Facebook or any of your social networking sites! We do ask that you refrain from altering the image in any way including cropping out our studio watermark. It’s the honor system, but we sure appreciate those who follow the rules! We also ask that clients do not print the freely downloaded images. You can try, but the files are optimized for use online, not for printing, so you will probably not be pleased with the results!
If I purchase a high resolution image file, will it have the studio watermark on it? No, we do not watermark the high-res files and you’re welcome to reproduce the image any way you like.
Is it true that you are no longer offering paper prints for sale to wedding clients? Yes, this is true. We do gladly fulfill custom orders for large wall prints of archival quality for clients who request that of us, but to best serve you and offer you the best value for your money, we think its best for you to purchase the high-resolution download and make prints for yourself at your favorite photo lab.
Why have you made this change? We want to be as helpful to our wedding clients as possible, and what could be easier than sending your guests to your online wedding gallery to download all their favorite wedding pictures…for free! More people get to enjoy your professionally created wedding images, you don’t have to lift a finger, and no one has to pay astronomical prices for a single 5×7 print from your event. We also believe the industry is moving toward an attitude of image sharing, and we love sharing!
