Both myself and Dave are constantly trying to improve our wedding photography offering and the service we provide to brides, not just on the day of the wedding but starting before the wedding day and right up through to the delivery of the photographs, album design process and final delivery of the album and other photography products. This month we made the decision to move from DVD delivery of photos to 16gb USB memory cards.

Now there are several very good reasons for this; Firstly 16gb allows storage of HD video of which we have now started to offer as a bolt on to our existing wedding photography packages. Secondly, we just happened to stumble upon a neat fully branded and custom designed memory card manufacturer!, thirdly and most importantly.. well; occasionally brides have tried to view the DVD discs on their tv, rather than viewing on their computer, thinking they were slide-shows, when in fact DVD discs are used because they just offer more storage than a traditional CD.

Photos are not meant to be viewed on a tv! While this may seem to work, and may be a very convenient way of viewing your photos with your family… We must stress that a tv is not the same as a computer monitor and therefore will not show photos at their very best. The resolution will be all wrong and some of the wedding photography may appear stretched or even pixelated.

Another obvious thing the mention is that discs can get scratched easily, whereas our USB sticks are credit card shape, so they should fit neatly into your wallet or purse allowing you to carry the full set of photos with you wherever you go! So below we thought it best to show you the new USB cards and how they ‘snap’ open allowing the USB to be slotted into your computer USB port.
