I’ve mentioned this in my last few articles, something that I really loved about the wedding photographer I we used was that she used a fancy digital camera and we were able to get copies of all the wedding photos on a CD. Plus, we have full copyright permission, so we can easily go to any photo kiosk in the store and print out any photos that we like instantly. Having a wedding photo CD made it so easy to get the pictures out to family and friends after the wedding was over and people were requesting pictures. When you are looking for wedding photographers for your wedding, be sure to ask if they can provide you with a CD of all your wedding pictures with full copyright permissions to print them. Here are some great things I loved about having this option with my wedding photographer.

Wedding Photo CD’s Can Save You Money!

If you want to forgo getting the wedding albums made from your photographer as well as some of the larger prints, it may be worth it for you to just print out the pictures yourself. When looking at the wedding packages each vendor provides, ask them how much of a discount they will give for taking off the items you don’t want and adding the wedding photo CD. You could end up saving money on your package. Not only that - but you can easily hand the CD’s over to family and friends so that they can print out the pictures you want yourself…or to keep track of your CD’s, take orders on what pictures they want, and have them pay you back for the prints. That way, you can only have the pictures you want, on a time frame that works the best for you.

Wedding Photo CD’s Save You Time!

One of the hardest things I had to do after the wedding was to choose which of our wedding photos were to be blown up and framed, according to our package. I had a time frame to get this done by, and trying to work with parents and other family could certainly get aggravating. Having a wedding photo CD means that you can print out the pictures at your leisure, and that you have plenty of time to decide which photographs you want larger, and can easily print out more later without having to go back to the wedding photographer to place an order.

Not every wedding photographer offers this to their clients as an option. Many feel that it is taking away from their profits with not being able to fill orders from family and friends, as well as potential future orders.  I had one photographer I interviewed who wanted an extra $500 for a wedding photo CD with full copyright permissions, which was ridiculous. While I don’t think this detail should make or break your decision, I do think that they should be willing to discuss it…and that it shouldn’t cost an extraordinary amount.
