Cody & Victoria – Southern Illinois Wedding Photographer

Every detail about Cody & Victoria’s wedding was sentimental. They got married on her mom and dad’s anniversary. On her grandparents property. Wearing her moms dress that they had re-done. The flower girl’s dress was also made from the mother of the bride’s dress.

The handkerchief her mom carried on her wedding day.

Never too old to learn how to tie a tie from your dad! LOL

First look with mom and dad. This was the first time she had seen it since they’d started working on it. 🙂

Cody wins the prize for groom reaction during a first look!!!

Grumpy ring bearers are the funniest!!!

Crazy awesome florals by Craze Concepts

What to do with your Digital Images – Southern Illinois Professional Photographer

So you’ve got this link of your gorgeous images….now what??

DOWNLOADING

First things first, you’re going to want to get them downloaded. Having a laptop would be nice for this part. If you don’t own a computer, borrow one if you can and download them to a handy USB drive.

If borrowing one is not an option, you may want to look in to a backup service on the cloud, like dropbox. Most accounts are free up to a certain amount of space. My website will allow you to download them straight to dropbox.

Next. BACK THEM UP!!! Seriously, you’re going to want to make sure that you have your images saved in multiple locations. You just never know what might happen (hard drives corrupt, fire, disasters etc.) and I cannot guarantee that I will always have these images. So make sure you’ve got your booty covered.

For the sake of convenience, you can avoid the downloading portion. You can download the images individually to your phone, then upload those to printers like Walgreens mobile app and order images that way. This is a very less than desirable way to do things, but it gets the job done if you need something quick and dirty. LOL Keep reading for more info.

PRINTING

You have full permission to print wherever you would like. My suggestion is www.mpix.com.

Their quality is WAYYYY better than any drug store or grocery store.

However, if you do decide to print locally, you will need to have a copy of your print release. Give me a heads up and I will make sure to email that to you.

EDITING

Please don’t. When you purchase the digital images, you do receive the printing permissions, but I always retain the copyrights. What this means is you can print as much as you want. You just can’t edit them, sell them, or submit them to contests without my permission.

I’m sure you love that trendy instagram filter that’s popular right now…but please just don’t. I have worked really hard to get my editing just the way that I like it, and the way that I feel reflects myself and my brand. When you edit the images that I have worked hard on, it takes away the integrity of my brand. K? K!

Brilliant

Stephanie is such a wonderful person and a brilliant photographer. Our engagement session was a really fun experience (even my fiance didn't mind it!). Stephanie is so creative while also willing to listen to any ideas that we had. I would highly recommend her! It is so important to have great pictures and a friendly person that you can be comfortable with and for us, we couldn't have wished for anyone better.
Thank you so much Stephanie!!

Excellent

Stephanie Susie is an excellent wedding photographer! She is extremely responsive, easy to communicate with and happy to answer any question you may have. She is very professional and has a personality that makes you feel comfortable with her instantly. Most importantly, she is a very talented photographer. She has an eye for picking the best locations and the best poses where the subjects look relaxed and look like themselves. When your wedding is over you will have your pictures to look back on for the rest of your life, so selecting a photographer who can capture your story is so very important. Stephanie can do that and give you something you will cherish forever. I am glad she was my photographer, I look forward to her capturing important moments in my life and I highly recommend her to any bride.

Absolutely Amazing

Stephanie was absolutely amazing, I cannot say enough good things about her. She was so fast to respond back to any messages I had, which were a lot! She made me feel so comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. We had a 7 week engagement and I got every picture I wanted thanks to her and she met the challenge and produced the most beautiful pictures for our families. Pictures are the only thing that lasts from weddings and Stephanie did a beautiful job at capturing all the important moments, including the last pictures to be taken of my husband's grandmother who just recently passed away. We will always have those pictures thanks to her. I am beyond grateful and amazed at the wonderful work she did and the time and effort she put into making sure every detail was perfect. I would highly highly recommend Stephanie for any type of photography session. She is the only photographer I have any interest in working with from now on for any session. Stephanie is extremely pleasant to work with, talented and highly skilled at what she does. I could not be more happy with how all of our pictures turned out! :)
