Souvenirs to Make the Most of Your Wedding Photos

Capturing different moments of your wedding can be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, which is why it’s important to invest in your wedding photography. You get a clear picture of everyone’s smiles, laughs and tears as even the rarest parts of the wedding are captured in still motion.

Everyone wants to make the most of their wedding photos, displaying them and showing them off or just hiding them away for safekeeping and private viewing. Wedding photography services usually include printing options and physical souvenirs the newly wedded couple can take advantage of to show of their amazing photos.

Make the Most of Your Wedding Photos

Here are some examples of physical souvenirs to make the most of your wedding photos:

USB Flash Drives

Although some might say that simply having your photos sitting on a USB drive defeats the purpose, the convenience of having a flash drive simply allows you to whip out the memories whenever you wish. Having nothing but soft copies of your wedding photos on a flash drive also makes it easy to share with family and friends that much easier.

A flash drive can ensure the privacy of everything captured during that special day and the photoshoots that may have come before it. Viewing the digital pictures would also be easy to do so from a computer or TV screen. Plus, the flash drive and its casing will be much easier to keep safe in case of an emergency.

That said though, USB drives are only rated to last for 10 years – so it’s important to protect your wedding photography by either printing physical copies or making plenty of backups.

Photo Prints

Nothing beats a classic photo print. Having it edited and printed by the photographer who took the picture can pretty much ensure that the quality won’t be tampered with and that you end up with a high-resolution photograph. Some might request wallet-sized pieces, while others ask for large-scale prints.

I make these super easily available and affordable through an integrated shop with each digital portfolio I provide to each couple. Making physical prints are so important!

Photo prints are also great physical souvenirs because there are just tons of ways to have them displayed nowadays. Many couples still love sticking with a classic wooden frame, while some deviate a little and check other options. Some love having prints stored all together in a box, while others want them loosely placed and clipped onto wall-hanging photo holders.

Ice Mount Prints

Somewhat under the photo print category, ice mounting is a great technique that can bring out the life of your wedding picture. It often appears like an upscaled version of a floating frame that’s able to stand out in a home when well-lit.

The way ice mounting works is that a photo is printed onto silver halide paper and then encapsulated onto clear acrylic. It can provide a unique finish and ensure that the photo’s quality will stay as-is for an extended period.

Photo Albums 

Lastly, a good photo book or photo album can be a great physical souvenir to commemorate the wedding. It can house pages and pages of photos that you can simply pull out from time to time when showing it to a friend or just for pure nostalgia. A nice wedding album can become a family heirloom if properly looked after and is therefore an investment well worth looking into.

It can also be a great addition if you’re both avid book readers hoping to start a mini library in your home. Consider that photobook as a good foundation and something that stands for the beginning of something spectacular. 

No matter how you want to physically store your wedding photos, all of them have one thing in common. They are all a wonderful keepsake that can help remind you of one of the best days of your life. 

As a wedding photographer passionate about photography in general, please make the most of your wedding photos by physically printing them in some way! Photos look so much better when printed opposed to viewing on a computer screen for a number of reasons.
