Ottawa Wedding Photography Packages and Prices

Some brides and grooms still have a lot of misconceptions about what digital negatives are and more importantly, what they can do with them.

Digital negatives are small and unedited. There is no retouching, no resizing and not tweaked at all. Have a pimple…it will still be there. Some photographers will give the couple these files. The couple walks away thinking they have the “nice” pictures that are in their album. They soon realize that they have the unedited digital files. Most couples know nothing about photoshop, etc. and are unable to reproduce album quality images from their negatives.

Here is where Edited Photos come into play. These type of files are the images you see in my portfolio and albums, and on my website. The photos I showcase have been edited. More importantly, you as the customer receive the edited files as part of your package. I believe if the image is good enough to give to the couple, it is good enough to be fully edited.

In addition, there are two camps out there at the moment about whether or not wedding photographers should give the DVD of these files (edited or not) to the couple. I for one am the photographer who falls in the YES camp.

I believe in educating couples about what they are actually getting in their packages. I believe that couples should ask the following to their possible wedding photographer:

1. Will I receive the digital negatives?
2. If I receive them, are they edited?
3. If they are edited, are they edited fully or just minor (meaning, are they edited enough for enlargement quality)

Hope that helps with some brides out there who I am sure, are flooded with information from photographers. Happy wedding photographer hunting!
