While you are completely allowed to go and get your own prints made with the high res files we give you, there are a bunch of reasons why having us help you could make sense:

  1. Get your pictures sooner!  People lead busy lives, and having these memories on your walls isn't always priority number 1.  But if you let us help, we can make it easy to get these in a much faster timeframe.
  2. Help with the selection. You have a lot of pictures to choose from, we can help you narrow it down.
  3. Retouching.  For a print that's going on your wall and that you'll see every day forever, it's worth taking the time to make sure the images look their best and bring you back to that moment as much as possible. We are fantastic artistic and detailed retouchers, to take them to the next level.
  4. Getting prints made takes time.  Which lots of people don't have - so we can take this on for you.
  5. Print Quality. We guarantee the quality of our prints - in terms of longevity, colour, materials, etc.  Lots of places don't produce high quality images that will stand the test of time, so we make sure our suppliers are great.

We know we deliver a lot of pictures, so we want you to know, we can help to make it easier to pick images for prints, and get them made.

While having so many pictures means you can see all the very best moments, the trouble is how do you choose the best ones to share and print? That's where we come in!

With our experience viewing and analyzing photos, we can help you narrow it down, and then make those images ready for your walls. We will:

  1. Ask you what kinds of prints you can picture on your walls or on your parents' and relatives' walls, and go through your wedding highlights together to get a good sense of this, in a brief zoom or in-person meeting.
  2. Narrow down a short list of images that fit that, and ask for your feedback
  3. Fine-tune the selection
  4. Figure out what sizes and numbers you'd like for your walls
  5. Finalize the print choices and any particular retouching you'd like to see in the images.
  6. Post-production on selection
  7. Print Proofing Link
  8. Finalize numbers of prints
  9. Print and deliver

We have paper prints in two styles, and canvas prints in 3 thicknesses.  Canvas prints are ready to hang, while paper prints usually require a frame.

For paper prints, we are not framers, so we always leave this final step to you - framing requires frames on hand, which we do not have, and it's very important to have a frame that matches the location it will be in, your style and preferences, etc. A dedicated framer will be able to advise you on that, and on the matt around your picture, so that it has the most impact and will last generations.
