So, you have hundreds of Jaw Dropping wedding images, what now?

Wedding photography is a form of photography involving several different styles and types of photography such as documentary, event coverage, and portrait photography.

Imagine, it’s after your wedding and you have just received your wedding photos from your Hawaii wedding photographer. They’re stunning, they’re beautiful and they’re a lot. You’re probably wondering, after I share these to my social media profiles, what else can I do with this sheer amount of amazing images? If that’s your question, you’ve come to the right place.

Create multiple backups of your wedding photography

Your Hawaii wedding photographer will most likely deliver your wedding images in an online gallery with the option to download them to your main computer. They will most probably make the album available online for a certain amount of time. First things first, these are your precious wedding images, so you absolutely should create several digital backups of your wedding photography. You can upload them to your Google Drive or Dropbox, save it in a USB drive or a portable hard drive, and even save copies to different computers in your home. Having several backups ensures that you never lose your wedding images.

Upload them on social media and share with your friends!

Get social and create a wedding album on your social media! Chances are, your wedding guests and friends are excited to see snaps from your wedding and are waiting for you to share them online on Facebook or Instagram. You can select a few highlight images, create a quick album on your social media profile for your connections to browse and comment on, and just watch the likes and comments roll in.

Get a wedding album

A wedding album may seem so traditional, especially at an era when almost everything is digital. However, there’s still something magical about a wedding album. It’s built to last, and wedding albums these days are designed to be durable enough to last a while. Not only can it be passed down to future generations, but it’s easier to get immersed in memories when you’re flipping through an album compared to looking at an album on social media with so many distractions competing for your attention.

Hang some wall art

Take a look at your home and identify a spot (or a few spots) which could use some wall art. You definitely don’t want to go crazy with the prints, but it’s an opportunity for you to be able to display your absolute favorite wedding photograph at a prime spot in your home. Placing wall art or frames of your big day on those key spots can be a beautiful way to relive memories of one of the best days of your life.

Use your wedding photos for thank you cards

Another way to put some use to your precious images is to turn them into thank you cards. Not only is it a great way to express gratitude to your friends and family who celebrated your big day with you, but seeing an image from your wedding day will help them relive their own memories from your wedding as well.

Frame your wedding images and give as gifts

Your own family members are most likely eager to see your wedding photography as well. Close family members like parents will definitely appreciate receiving a framed print from the wedding to remember a day that was just as important to them as it was for you.

Feature them in your holiday cards

The holidays are also a good time to put some use to your wedding photography. You can use a portrait from your wedding day or engagement session to turn into a holiday greeting card. This can be a great way to also commemorate your first holiday season as a married couple.
