The Importance of Printing Photos
How and why to save your wedding memories
In the digital age, many people are happy to take and share photos on their smartphones instead of printing them. However, if you have recently tied the knot or are about to do so, I highly recommend that you print your wedding photos as soon as possible: these special memories will undoubtedly fade from your mind if they only exist on a computer screen.
Why is it important to print your wedding photos?
A wedding photo is a forever reminder of one of the happiest moments in your life, and can be a source of great joy and comfort for you and your loved ones.
However, this happiness and joy will be short-lived if you don’t take steps to preserve your wedding photos properly. Unlike digital photos, printer images are permanent, so you don’t have to worry about them mysteriously disappearing. It doesn’t matter if your hard disk is burnt or if your computer gets lost.
Printed photos can easily be shared with family and friends in a tangible format. Much better to look at a photo album rather than an ipad. Prints can also be displayed in your home where they’ll be constantly visible and can be enjoyed by you and others.
What should you look for when choosing a print lab?
Your print lab should be reliable, trustworthy and have a good reputation. You should look into the quality of the materials used by the lab, as this will have a significant impact on how long your photos last.
I’m never gonna repeat this enough: when it comes to printing images, you get what you pay for.
In other words, you should be prepared to spend a little bit more if you want to preserve your wedding memories properly. This way, you’ll avoid wasting money on albums with loose pages or prints that get cut the wrong way.
Where can you get your photos printed?
You can get your photos printed at any traditional lab, as well as online photo printing services. Either way, most of these labs offer a wide range of products such as photo books, frames, calendars, etc.
Once your wedding photos are ready, I will send them via cloud service to you. This cloud - beside being a fantastic platform that keeps your memories safe - is also connected to some of the best labs in the world. There are big names in the wedding industry, like Wooden Banana, QTAlbums and Loxley Colour.
You will be able to design your products yourself, with the help of their easy-to-use software.
