Should You Archive Your Images?
One of the most rewarding parts of your job is telling the story of the wedding day through stunning images. Because you shoot thousands of photos at every wedding, having a system in place to back-up your images and store them is crucial to your success. Even if you only deliver 500-700 images after they are color corrected by a photo editing company, you should still archive the photos you shot so you can easily access them. So you can feel confident saving and storing your images, Wedding photographer, Melissa Jill, is sharing why she archives her photos and the process she uses to protect what she shoots.

The other day Dixie and I were taking our daily walk with our neighbor friend and her pup. We were talking about photos and she mentioned that she had no idea where the thumb drive of their professional wedding photos was. A wave of nausea hit me and I asked her if she had them backed up anywhere. She sheepishly admitted that she didn’t. Then I laid into her (with love), encouraging her to find them and get those babies backed up somewhere in the cloud ASAP! Yikes! SO scary.
