Preserving Your Wedding Photos

After you settle on a photographer, give some thought to how you'll display your precious memories.   Here are a few options for preserving your wedding photos and what you should know about each option:

Photo Album:  Albums are often included in the photo package but some can cost up to a few thousand dollars.  A typical photo album is comprised of anywhere from 50 to 500 photos chosen from your proofs. Ask for archival albums made of acid free paper to preserve photos up to 100 years.

Prints:  Prints are often included in the photo package with extras costing from a few dollars to a few hundred dollars each.  Unlike proofs, prints have been color corrected, adjusted for light and printed on archival paper.
Always ensure that the prints will be done by a quality lab or in the photographer's darkroom.

Disc of digital images (CD):  Some photographers will make available to you a CD(s) containing digital files (negatives)  that you can use to have reprints made (make sure your contract allows for this).  You'll need the files to be at least 300 DPI to produce quality reprints.

Archival box of photos:  Some photographers provide an acid free archival box containing up to 40 hand-retouched photos that are usually mounted on card stock.  Make sure the photos will not have the studio's watermark or logo across the photos so that you can display them.
