The Bride Needs an Album
Planning a wedding can often turn a rational, well mannered woman into somewhat of a “Bridezilla”. When the flowers are not just right or the bridesmaids are not cooperating, she develops an attitude and will verbally attack just about anyone. So when Bridezilla finds a photographer and she requests just a disc of her wedding pictures, the photographer agrees—often without an argument.
Although not all brides can be classified as a Bridezilla, lately many brides are becoming victims of the disc phenomena. The photo disc proves to be a simple solution for the busy bride. She can save money and print her images later when the turmoil of the wedding settles. The sad fact however, is that there is always an excuse not to print the wedding photos. There is always a mess to be cleaned or a child to be picked up from practice and before she knows it, the tenth wedding anniversary rolls around and the photos are still sitting on a disc in a drawer somewhere.
Even though we live in a rapidly growing digital age, we need to stress the importance of printed images. While the wedding disc is becoming more and more popular, we forget some very major details. We can store a lot of photos on the internet through social media sites like Facebook, but there is no guarantee that photos will reside there forever. There is always the possibility that the photos are accidentally deleted or your hard drive crashes. Ultimately, there is one key difference that separates a photo disc from a photo album—touch. Without an album, your kids will continue to mindlessly attach themselves to the screen of a computer without being able to physically flip pages of photos and forever lose a very special moment in their own family’s history.
As professional photographers, it is our duty to impress upon our clients the importance of properly archiving lives precious memories ~ in albums!
