Purchase reprints online!

April 21st, 2009

Our new online reprints system is up and running. You can now purchase prints online, in a variety of sizes.

When viewing your wedding online in the Client Area, click on ‘View all photos’. You will notice a small ‘buy’ link below each photograph. The rest should be self explanatory! This system is currently only for prints – if you would like to purchase canvas, framed enlargements, DVDs or other items, simply call us on 0800 6129 569.

Simply click the 'buy' button when browsing your photographs online

All of our reprints are printed by a professional lab – and each one is individually retouched and colour corrected to ensure the highest quality possible.

We can now also accept credit card payments for all purchases up to £400. You can use this facility over the phone or in our office.

Update: version 1.1 is now live – you can now choose the colour of photograph (black and white etc) and we added a comments field.

Update: 05/04/2009 –  version 1.2 added canvas prints and fixed some silly issues with Internet Explorer.

The Famous Little Things: The Box

April 15th, 2009

I regularly get asked questions such as ‘what makes you different’ or ‘what makes your packages attractive’?. So this is the first article in a short series which takes a look at answering those questions. Its not based on my perceptions – rather I’ve based it on a simple premise – things which people mention when they ring me up.

Firstly, people often mention ‘The Box’. This little box isn’t special in itself, but I have to say that brides simply love whats inside. Let me explain.

box-1

1. 6×4 prints of all the pictures.
I believe that couples should have their photographs in their hands. They shouldn’t have to load up a CD or play a DVD – the good old fashioned way is the best. I print all the photographs (normally 300-350). Brides comment that it helps them when picking their album – its simply easier to pick your favourite photographs when you can put them out on a table and compare. Secondly, after their album is picked most brides put these 6×4prints into a small album of there own.

2. Album mock-up
Relatively unique to Peter Thomas Photography, we spend a great deal of time creating a mock album-layout for you. Its simply our ideas as to what will look good. Its a great start and usually speeds up the process. Of course, you are welcome to change it as much or as little as you like!

3. The DVD Collection
At the moment, the Box includes 2 DVDs. Firstly (and for a limited time only), we are including the actual files on DVD. This allows you to do your own reprints should you wish to. It also allows you to email photos to friends, put them on facebook – whatever you want! Secondly, we include a DVD slideshow of all your photographs to music. Many couples choose a few songs- often the first dance and a few songs that mean something special.

Conclusion
So there you go – you’ve been introduced to The Box! It’s lovely to get something into your hand when you get back from honeymoon. While you choose your album photographs, you’ll still have something worthwhile to show friends and family.
