Photo Gallery FAQs

It is my hope that you will share and print your photos to enjoy for a lifetime.

Should I backup my photos? 

Your online gallery contains your digital images and is available to you for one year. Please back up these files in multiple places as soon as possible. USBs & hard drives often fail, so having your files in multiple places can safeguard against losing your files. I recommend dropbox and google storage.

How do I offer credit online?

If you wish to post images on the internet, please credit and/or tag @photosbyJS (IG), or @jessicaschmittphotography (FB) when sharing online. Do not choose to have Facebook alter your images upon uploading as this will change your image in an unfavorable way. Please do not add filters.
If you are doing a post with many photos it is always appreciated to tag all of your wedding vendors.

Do you have recommendations for Enlargements and Sizing?

Please download your images for prints and other products. Be aware that different sizes you choose to print will crop your images differently, (ie: an 8x10 will 'chop' off more than a 4x6 as the original image is in the 2:3 ratio) and some labs will take the liberty of cropping themselves if you do not adjust your own crop before you make your purchase. If you think there might be a problem with your crop please ask me. You can email me at [email protected]

How can I print my photos?

I do not recommend using drugstore or discount internet photo labs. (Walgreens, Walmart, Target, Shutterfly, Snapfish, etc.) These consumer labs utilize printing machines that make automatic color and contrast adjustments to your images. This causes your prints to look different than on screen. Color quality can only be guaranteed by purchasing prints & albums through your gallery as my monitor is carefully calibrated to match the professional labs that I use.
If you wish to use a consumer lab, here are some that might work for you.
Where to Print From your gallery:
unitprints.com  |  WHCC.com  |  mpix.com
Choose to NOT have any of these labs color correct.

How do I share a selection with you?

If you want to send me a selection of photos for your album or for reference please follow these steps:
I'm not able to see your favorites unless you choose to send them to me. 

1. In your gallery, you can favorite as many images as you want by clicking on the heart on each photo. Once you are done making a selection, you can view all of your favorites.

2. In your gallery, choose "favorites" in the top left hand corner.
You should be on a new page where you only see the favorites you selected.

3. Share with me: In the top right corner you will see "Share Favorites"
Click and add a message to share with photographer.
I will receive an email with the photos you choose in a gallery.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. I’m here for you.
