Next Steps... and FAQ

Q:  How long before we see the images?

A:  We will schedule a viewing/ordering session typically two to three weeks following your session. This meeting in our studio or over web conference and allows us to present your images and walk you through the many different options for showcasing them in your home.  A web conference allows us to talk over the phone while viewing my computer screen online.  This allows us to zoom in to images, show you cropping, and discuss potential retouching options.

Q:  How many photos will I see?

A:  Refer to your session type for specifics. James carefully edits each session and presents the best of the best for your consideration.

Q:  Can I have a web gallery?

A:  After we meet for your viewing/ ordering session, we will post a web gallery of your favorites for friends and family to order prints. The gallery will be live for 15 days.

Q:  How do I get a few of my favorites for social sharing?

A:  Any image ordered as an 8x10 or larger print, or in a book (meaning it's been fully enhanced) can also be delivered as a social media file at no extra cost.  

Q:  How is a social media file different from a high resolution file?

A:  A social media file is sized, sharpened and optimized for viewing on screens and therefore too low in resolution for printing.  Since the point of social media is sharing, the image also has our logo watermarked at the bottom.  A high resolution file is too large to put online, but optimized for printing at sizes up to 11x16. 

Q:  What happens to images not ordered as prints?

A:  After 90 days, any images that have not been made into prints or included in books or image boxes are deleted.

Albums

The Gallery Album

The Gallery style is a modern take on the classic, leather bound wedding album.  On the outside, a substantial, library bound volume in leather.  On the inside, flush mount pages offer greater design variety than the traditional matted albums of the past.
In keeping with a more classic design aesthetic, images in Gallery albums do not overlap each other or cross over the center of the book like they do in the Centerpiece style.

I just Got Married, Now What?

If we have just completed your wedding photography and you’re wondering what’s next, then you’re in the right place.  Listed below are a few frequently asked questions on next steps.

Q: I can’t wait to see our wedding photos!  What’s the normal time fame for that?

A: Your images are receiving a thorough going over and lots of attention from James.  This process does takes some time, but the results are worth it.  Our normal time frame for having your initial presentation ready is four weeks.  This can be a bit longer during the spring or fall crazy season.  (Um, I mean, busy season)

Q: Remind me again, How will I see our images for the first time?

Review Your Contract
Since it’s probably been a while, included in your package is a copy of our agreement outlining all deliverables, product credits and pricing details included.  Review this information before proceeding to the next step.

Album Confirmation Form
If you have album/ product credit included in your collection you will receive this form by email. Use it to make your official album style selection.  Once we receive this from you by email, we can begin designing your book.  Please note: Nothing further can happen with the album until we receive this form from you.

I notice that there is a proof book included in my package, when does that arrive?

Proof Book
If one or more of these are included in your collection, it will be shipped to you two weeks after your slideshow DVDs.  It’s currently at the printer and will be ready for action when the design process begins.

My package also includes a disc of electronic files.  When can I expect that?

Electronic Files
If included in your collection, these will come to you at the end of the album design process when everything is approved by you and we have retouched all images that will be printed.  This way, you have great looking images for future use.  If we gave you a disc now, it would just include the less awesome, proof version of the images.
