CD vs Prints

Most photographers show you all of the images from your wedding or portrait session. These are called proofs. Unless budget isn't a concern, you will have to pick and choose which photos and print sizes you can afford to purchase, leaving the rest behind. And because your photographer legally maintains the rights to those images, you then must purchase the chosen prints through the photographer at a premium. This is where most photographers make their money. To give you an idea, most 4x6 prints
are priced from $6.00-$8.00 and 8x10s from $25-$30 each. Large prints, like a 20x30 go for well over $100. For a wedding that can get really expensive! It's important to keep this in mind when pricing photographers. It's true that these prints are of the highest quality and will be archival, and therefore last forever. They are worth the price but there are less expensive options out there.

Amy Hansen Photo includes a CD/DVD of the high resolution, professionally processed photographs with all wedding packages and portrait sessions. Wedding CDs will come in this modern keepsake tin (pictured right) complete with an image from your wedding day on the front of the CD. You will also receive a full print release that will allow you to reproduce or print your photographs at anytime. You can take them to any lab of your choice or we can recommend one to you. You most likely won't even be asked for the print release but it's there in case you need it. If you decide that you really want some professional quality prints we do offer them at a significantly discounted rate. The CD gives you options! You can let us do all the prints, do them all yourself or some of both.
