How to preserve your wedding photos
The value of a printed photograph
More and more often you come across photography packages offering files only. They are certainly cheaper and more accessible to everyone. But at what cost? I remember, as a child, leafing through my parents' album and imagining them on that day. Opting for a package with files only carries the risk of losing every photo: digital media, however reliable, are subject to failure, theft and virus attacks.
How to choose an album?
Besides the aesthetics, an album must meet important technical requirements. For the prints to last, you need to make sure the printing is of high quality: for my albums I choose fine art printing, which keeps colours and details over time, while cheap typographic prints soon lose colour. Binding, finish and materials should not be overlooked.
8 mistakes to avoid when choosing your album
Files only?
Choosing files only on a USB stick has the advantage of faster delivery, but you run the risk of losing or damaging the stick and losing all your photos. The best solution, as always, is to print your photos, even in a classic album. The printed photograph is currently the most durable medium while maintaining good quality.
