After you get married you get access to an online gallery with your wedding photos that are chuck full of candids, joy, and love. The online platform is a beautiful, accessible way to not only view your images but download, share, and print them as well! It's super convenient to have all your wedding photos online that you can view from a computer or phone.
But then what?
Your photos deserve to live offline! Since you're investing so much money to have photos taken of this chapter in your life and love story, those photos deserve to be seen over and over again!
There are so many awesome ways to share and display your photos: prints and albums being two of my favorites. There’s nothing quite like picking up your wedding album and thumbing through the pages together or grabbing a stack of prints to pass around at your next gathering. It’s the best way to reminisce, share your story, and experience those wedding-day-feels all over again. I strongly believe that your photos deserve a special place in your home- a special spot where you’ll see them often.
"AN IMAGE ISN’T A PHOTOGRAPH UNTIL IT’S PRINTED."

PRINT YOUR PHOTOS
You can order professional and affordable prints right from within your online gallery and have them shipped directly to your house! Easy peasy! Print sizes range from 4x6 to 40x60 and are printed in a professional lab to ensure color accuracy and amazing quality. The store connected to your gallery is super simple to understand as you can preview your images in different crops and frames before purchase. I warn you to avoid printing your photos out at Walmart, Target, Costco, etc. as I cannot promise that your colors will print true-to-life if you choose to print from non-professional labs, nor can I guarantee the quality and lifespan of them. You invested in professional photography, so I believe it is important to also invest in professional prints. Otherwise, it's like buying a Ferrari and then putting eyelashes on the headlights. Just.... no.
Heirloom Albums
Heirloom albums are just that; heirlooms. They're the highest quality albums that not only hold your dearest memories, but are conversation starters while being a beautiful addition to your coffee table or side tables. They'll last the test of time so you can share your wedding day with your children, and their children. Whether linen, suede, or leather, they're impressively made with sturdy pages that lay completely flat. That means that the center line doesn't create the image as the photo is printed onto the thick page itself. Albums are created with the highlights of the wedding day in mind. Each spread is crafted to show the best photos of the day while intertwining the theme and emotion throughout. While wall art and a box of prints is nice to have your photos live off screen, there's nothing quite like the impressive weight on an heirloom album on your weight to really relive your story from beginning to end.
