New proofing option!

Announcement time!

I have had a few people mention to me that the images in their proofing galleries are somewhat small and very low-resolution. Well, I do that intentionally for a number of reasons, the primary reason being that when you’re looking at 500+ images from a wedding, you don’t want to wait an hour for the images to load on the website. The images in my proofing galleries load very quickly, allowing you and your wedding guests to browse all of your photos quickly and efficiently.

However, I recognize that some people prefer to see the photos in their big, full-resolution glory (I know I would!), so I’ve come up with an option that solves that problem. I now offer a proofing DVD that will work on any DVD player or computer with a DVD drive. The DVD contains awesome proofing software that will let you see all your images almost full-screen and at full resolution in color, black and white, and sepia, as well as the image filename for easy ordering.

Once the fourth quarter of this year arrives and my prices go up again, I will include the proofing DVD in every package. However, for those of you who have already booked with me or who have already had your wedding shot by me, you can add this on to your package for only $100 (additional copies $35). The DVD will include proofing galleries for your wedding, as well as any portrait sessions you may have booked (engagements, bridals, day after, etc.) and your rehearsal dinner, if applicable. If you want a proofing DVD of your portrait session only, you can get one for $50 (additional copies $35).

Just to clarify, these DVDs do not contain the actual image files themselves.  They are not the same thing as a DVD slideshow, nor are they the same thing as the digital negatives.  These DVDs are for proofing purposes only.  If you have any questions, let me know!

    Hello Stacy, I came across your site, from a friend of mine that sent it to me. I am a wedding photographer in CNY and would really love to know how you are creating these DVD that cant be printed for your wedding clients. I love networking and would share anything I could with you as well… am using light scrib right now and giving all my neg. on DVD to my clients. But know that I need to step it up a gear and change my way of doing things with my proofing options, and print orders. Thank you in advance if you are willing to share your knowlege with another wedding photographer. Thank you for your time.

    Hi Stacy:
    As Renee said in her comments, I ran across your site while looking at Kelly Moore’s web site, she mentioned your site. I’m truly interested in your proofing software as this is the weaking link in my wedding business.
    Right now I’m using a site which offers viewing and purchasing, but like you the photos are not very big and I feel I am loosing control of the purchase experience.
    Drop me a line if you like and let me know what software you do use.
    As a sidelight, you photos are to die for. Very distinct style.
    As a compliment to you, I may steal a few of your ideas. Just kidding.
    From another wedding photographer
