A little reminder from behind the scenes… 🤍
This week, a wedding client from 10 years ago reached out looking for one specific photo.
Thankfully, I was able to go into the backend of my old gallery system and temporarily reactivate her gallery so she could access her images again. It was a happy surprise that I could!
It also reminded me of something that’s worth sharing:
Digital galleries aren’t meant to be permanent storage.
Technology changes. Companies evolve. Gallery platforms update (or disappear altogether!), and older galleries eventually time out or are retired.
Whether your photos are from me or another photographer, take a few minutes this week to make sure they’re safely backed up.
I always recommend:
🤍 Saving a copy on your computer
🤍 Keeping a backup on an external hard drive
🤍 Uploading them to a cloud service like iCloud, Google Photos, Dropbox, or Amazon Photos
Your wedding photos are one of the few things that become more valuable with time. They deserve more than one place to live. They should also be preserved in print.
If you’d like an extra layer of protection, I also offer custom archival USB drives that are perfect for safekeeping or sharing with family. Just send me a message and I’d be happy to help.
Here’s your friendly reminder to back up those memories ASAP!! ❤️
