Weddings: They will get their Hi-Resolution DVD’s on their two year anniversary or when their Wedding Album is delivered which ever falls first. They may purchase the DVD’s before this time for $5,000. I explain that these DVD’s are only for archival purposes only and not for printing. I also explain to my clients before the event everything that you blogged about… you need to have the image hand re-touched by our studio, we take pride in each image ordered, your Grandchildren will someday look at these images..and so on.. i also make my clients feel special telling them that our clients trust us to handle everything for them and there is no need for them to have to worry about making their own prints, they already have too many other tings to do . I explain that “shoot-and-burn Photographers are not the kind of photographers you want taking your precious wedding photographs as they are not to be trusted and only out for a quick buck I find the more trust you have with your couples the less they bug you about the hi-rez images. oh, another thing… i show my couples before and after (re-touched) images, once they see the slide-show they will never try to print their own prints!

Portraits: They NEVER get a Hi-Resolution DVD.
