product & gallery deadlines

STUDIO POLICY

Their one-year anniversary came & went. So did their five-year. Then they welcomed their first baby.

And still, their wedding album remained un-designed. Their photos were still living on my computer. Their precious wedding memories that they trusted me to capture were collecting digital dust.

For their sake, as well as mine, I wanted this couple to have their photos. I wanted them to flip through their album every time they cleaned the family room. I wanted their new baby to see mommy & daddy on the wall in their beautiful wedding clothes.

Placing expiration dates on products included in your wedding package was no easy decision. It’s not a ploy to get more money out of anybody. It’s simply an encouragement. I want you to move on with your married life, & when you do think of your wedding, it’s not “Oh, crap, I still haven’t picked out my album that I paid for.”

If you need an extension, all you have to do is ask.
