After the wedding – Your photos and You

Posted by Will | photography | Saturday 15 August 2009 10:29 pm
So you’ve kissed and said “I do”, now you are entered into that blissful state of married life. On to the photos that were taken of your wonderful day that might have seemed like a blur.
IMAGE PROCESSING
About 7 – 10 days after your wedding, your images should be going up into your own online gallery. If its summer time, we’ll need that time to process your wedding images and if you are wondering why it might be taking so long, is because we like to go through all the images one at a time and make them look beautiful. Adding on our own artistic ideas and creative effects, as well as enhancing the images by adding clarity, vibrance, and saturation where it is needed. Taking the ordinary captured image like this:

Into an awesome version of what should be.

Side Note: We photograph all events in Nikon’s RAW file called an NEF. When shooting in RAW as professionals call it, it records everything that was on the imaging chip in the camera, much like film in old cameras. As we shoot digital instead of developing the images in a dark room, we use Adobe’s Photoshop and Lightroom. If your photographer isn’t shooting in RAW, you are losing out.
ORDERING FROM YOUR GALLERY
In your online gallery you can order any and all prints you may want from 4×6 prints, to 20×30 canvas wraps, to coffee mugs, and T-Shirts, with your images on them. We have even made our artistic creations available for digital download purchase. As some may want to purchase the photo negatives, some may only want to purchase single images. All can be done from your gallery, in the comfort of your home or office, and shipped directly to you.
Here is a little image walkthrough I made up to show how easy it is to order whatever you want.
This here is your image reference number, in case would like to order an album, send me an email about an image, or whatever, it would be this number that I would need and it is located beneath the image and will have a 3 letter prefix and a 4 digital number following.


Once you are on the image you would like to purchase all you have to do is click “BUY” located at the top right of the screen.

Once you have clicked on the Buy button it will take you to a screen where you can order whatever you might like. You can order prints ranging in sizes from 4×6s and wallets all the way as large as 20×30 prints. You can also order canvas wraps and various merchandise items like magnets, t-shirts, etc.
Please Note: if you are ordering a large print like a 20×30 or large 20×30 canvas wrap, I’d recommend calling so that I can make sure the image is totally flawless. The larger the image, the more detail you are able to see.
When ordering you have the option of 4 different paper types, as you might be used to seeing glossy or matte in Wal-Mart, Sams Club, or CVS, you might consider getting your images in LUSTRE or METALLIC paper. The Metallic paper really pops and looks really cool; it is by far my favorite.
By clicking on the Merchandise tab it will take you to the section, where you can order your image on many different items. It’s nice to order things like Coffee mugs as wedding gifts, Playing cards for your bridal party members as gifts, Refrigerator magnets for your home, Mouse pads for your spouse at work, or whatever else you might think of.
Now maybe you found this one image that you just really, really love and rather than buying the entire negatives disc, or stealing copyrighted images from your photographer, you can easily download that image straight to your computer, through the purchase. This way you have the image you want and it is now yours to do with as you please.
You have ordered just about all the items you can think of from your gallery, all you have to do to complete your purchase is click “CHECK OUT”. After you have clicked check out you will be taken to a screen where you can put in your address and ordering information. After you place the order, sit back, relax and wait for it to come in the mail.
If you need any assistance ordering from your gallery you can always call or email me and I can help.
