A More Thoughtful Photography Experience
Beautiful wedding photography deserves an equally beautiful experience when it comes to enjoying, sharing and keeping your photographs.
Your wedding day may last a day, but the photographs you take away from it are something you'll return to for years to come. They'll be shared with family, sent to friends, printed for your home and revisited on anniversaries long after the last dance.
At Altered Images Photography, we believe that enjoying those photographs should be every bit as effortless as the experience of having them taken.
That's why we've given just as much thought to what happens after your wedding as we have to the photography itself.
A beautiful experience shouldn't end when your wedding does
Once your wedding day is over, the anticipation of seeing your photographs is part of the experience. You want to relive the moments you remember, discover the ones you missed and share the results with the people you love.
But how you receive your photographs, how easily you can access them and what you're able to do with them can vary considerably between photographers.
We believe there should be no unnecessary obstacles between you and the photographs you've invested in.
No complicated processes. No unnecessary restrictions. No feeling that you have to make additional purchases just to enjoy the photographs you've already paid for.
Our approach is straightforward: we want you to spend your time enjoying your photographs, not working out how to get to them.
Your photographs, beautifully presented
When your photographs are ready, we'll present them in your own private online gallery, thoughtfully designed to make revisiting your wedding a pleasure.
Rather than simply sending you a folder of files or a link to a dropbox, we create a beautiful space for your photographs to live. Your images are carefully edited and organised into sections, making it easy to explore the story of your day, from the preparations and ceremony through to the evening celebrations.
You can browse at your own pace, enjoy your photographs as a slideshow or revisit particular moments whenever you wish. The gallery is designed with mobile devices in mind too, so your photographs look wonderful and are easy to navigate whether you're sitting down together at home with a laptop or iPad, or sharing a favourite moment with friends using your phone.
It's a much more enjoyable way to experience your wedding photographs — and a place you'll want to return to.
Share the moments that matter
Your wedding photographs aren't just for you. They're for your parents, your friends, your wedding party and everyone who shared in your celebration.
Your gallery makes it easy to share your photographs with the people you choose, without the need to download and send enormous folders of files or navigate a complicated transfer process.
Want to share a favourite photograph on Instagram? Send a picture to your family WhatsApp group? Let friends relive the celebrations? You can do so directly and easily from your private gallery.
You can also give family and friends access to the gallery, allowing them to enjoy the photographs for themselves.
We believe sharing the memories with your loved ones is part of the pleasure and experience, so we've worked hard to remove the hurdles.
High-quality photographs, without unnecessary restrictions
Your photographs should be genuinely useful.
That's why the images in your gallery are supplied without distracting watermarks, at a resolution suitable for sharing online and making personal prints. You can download your photographs and keep your own copies, giving you the freedom to enjoy them in the way that suits you.
Want to print a favourite photograph for your desk, frame a moment from your ceremony or put together a collection of prints for your family? You have the flexibility to do so.
We don't believe in making your photographs difficult to use simply to encourage you to make another purchase.
Your wedding photography package is an investment in the memories of your day. We want you to feel that value in the photographs you receive and in the freedom you have to enjoy them.
Printing your photographs, made simple
There is something special about seeing your wedding photographs in print. A favourite moment on a shelf, a framed portrait on the wall or a collection of photographs shared with family can make those memories part of everyday life.
For everyday personal printing, your downloadable photographs are supplied at a resolution suitable for prints up to approximately 8 × 6 inches. This is a lovely size for frames, albums and sharing photographs with family.
For larger prints, where image resolution and print quality become particularly important, we can take care of the process for you through our professional editing and printing services - this is especially important for larger prints as the resolution has to be larger (and therefore the file size is bigger too) which wouldn't be suitable for your online gallery.
You can choose the photographs you love, select the print options that suit you and order through your online gallery. We'll take care of the technical details to help ensure your photographs are reproduced beautifully.
Of course, you're welcome to order prints through us for smaller prints too if that's your preference. We simply don't believe that purchasing prints from your photographer should be the only practical way to enjoy your photographs.
The choice is yours.
A different way of thinking about wedding photography
We understand why photographers place such importance on protecting their work. Professional photography involves considerable time, experience, investment and care, both on the wedding day and in the editing that follows.
But we also believe there's a difference between protecting the integrity of your work and making it unnecessarily difficult for your clients to enjoy it.
When you book Altered Images, you're investing in the complete experience: the planning, the photography, the editing, the presentation and the service that brings everything together.
We don't want the delivery of your photographs to feel like the beginning of another sales process. Nor do we want you to feel that the photographs you've paid for are somehow out of reach unless you spend more.
Our online gallery and print service give you options, rather than obstacles. If you'd like us to supply beautiful professional prints, we'd be delighted to help. If you'd prefer to download your photographs, share them with family or arrange your own personal printing, that's absolutely fine, too.
We want you to enjoy what you've invested in.
Quiet luxury is in the details
For us, a premium photography experience isn't defined solely by the photographs themselves. It's also about how you feel throughout the process.
It's the reassurance of knowing that someone is thinking ahead. It's the care taken over the smallest details. It's being able to find what you need without having to ask, and enjoying a service that feels considered rather than complicated.
We think the same principles should apply after your wedding.
Your gallery should be beautiful. Your photographs should be easy to access. Sharing them should feel natural. And when you want to turn a favourite image into something you can hold in your hands, the process should be easy.
These details might not be the first things you think about when choosing your wedding photographer, but they're part of the experience you'll appreciate long after your wedding day.
At Altered Images, we want the quality of our service to be reflected in every interaction you have with us - including the moment you open your gallery for the first time, and every time you return to it afterwards.
Beautiful photographs. Thoughtfully presented. Yours to enjoy.
That's how we believe wedding photography should be.
