Your Wedding Photos Were Created to Be Art — Not Pixelated Reminders
Every frame I deliver is thoughtfully composed, professionally edited, and refined with the same care that went into your wedding day. These are not just photos—they are heirlooms.
So when they’re saved via a quick screenshot, the magic disappears. The image is compressed, blurred, and stripped of the intentional colour grading, clarity, and fine detail that make it feel editorial and timeless.
It’s like photographing a painting through a foggy window—you’ll remember the shape, but lose the essence.
Screenshots Are a Disservice to the Experience You Paid For
Screenshots result in:
- Low resolution images, especially when viewed on mobile (and certainly not able to print them because you’ve compressed a already compressed image into a file size way too small!)
- Distorted colours and lighting
- Cropped-out composition
- Pixelation and visible compression artifacts
- Loss of intentional retouching and finish
You’ve invested in luxury photography not just for documentation, but for the artistry—that crisp, true-to-life finish, the depth, the elegance. A screenshot simply cannot hold that weight.
The Elegant Alternative? Download the Images Properly
When your gallery is delivered, it includes both high-resolution files for printing and web-sized versions for sharing on social media. These are formatted for maximum clarity, consistent colouring, and correct cropping—on all devices.
This means:
- Images load beautifully on Instagram and websites
- Colour grading stays true to my signature aesthetic
- You can print your favourites at full scale for albums or framed fine art pieces
- You maintain the integrity of your visual legacy
It’s Also In the Photographers Contract—And For Good Reason
Most professional photographers include a clause asking couples not to screenshot their images. This isn’t just about protecting the work—it’s about protecting your experience and their high end brand. You wouldn’t buy a designer dress, just to destroy it? So why do the same with your wedding photographs?
When screenshots are shared online, viewers don’t see the real quality—they see a downgraded version, and you might get asked again and again, “Who shot your wedding?” because it’s not visually obvious.
Proper downloads ensure you:
- Showcase your day at its absolute best
- Save time answering messages about who your photographer was
- Let me re-share your beautiful moments (tagged correctly and looking pristine!)
Honour the Investment You Made
You chose a luxury photographer for a reason. Every edit, every light adjustment, every detail was done to reflect not just your wedding—but your story, taste, and style.
Downloading your images properly is the final step in honouring that artistry.
