Wedding Photography: How Couples Benefit From Online Photo Proofing

Wedding photography has definitely changed since your parents got married. Many professional photographers have made the switch to digital (doing away with the worry of lost or damaged film), and more photographers in general are using online photo proofing for their busy clients. See why today's couples love the marriage between professional photography and the convenience of modern technology.

Speed
Gone are the days of waiting months to view your wedding photos. Today, photographers who offer online proofing through companies like Pictage can provide digital images within seven days of the event, and print photographs within a few weeks of your order. And forget about finding time to meet your photographer at the studio - you can view your photos as often as you wish online, day or night! Images are organized by category for easy viewing, and can also be browsed in full-size, thumbnails, or by slideshow.

Sharing
You've heard the stories: The couple that got stuck paying for all the reprints their friends and family asked them to order; the couple that couldn't order their album because their parents held onto the proofs; or the couple that couldn't share their beautiful wedding photos with out-of-town friends and family. All of those wedding photo problems can be easily avoided with online proofing. Not only are your wedding photos viewable to anyone with access to the Internet (and your permission, of course), but friends and family can order - and pay for - as many prints as they want. Your online proofing company allows you to email guests directly when images are available for viewing, and you can choose which photos are 'public' for general viewing, and 'private,' for the two of you to see.

Selecting
How are you supposed to know how many 8x10s you'll end up wanting? And what if your favorite reception photo shows a waiter in the background? These and other concerns can be headed off at the pass with online proofing. You (and your guests) get to choose how many photos you want, in as many sizes as you want. You can also customize shots by choosing tone preferences (black and white, sepia, or color), borders, and cropping and zooming.

Saving
Traditional photography meant that your photos took up space at the photographer's studio, so a time limit would be set on how long the photos were on file. If anything happened to your wedding album four or five years after the wedding, there was no way you could re-order prints. Online proofing archives your wedding photos electronically as high-resolution images, making them accessible to you and your family for long as you have Internet access. Since multiple copies of all of your wedding images are made and stored in different locations, you can rest assured that not a single image will ever be lost.
