A commonly asked question that I get asked all the time is “How will I receive my wedding photos”, “Will I get a DVD or USB?”
When I first started as a wedding photographer in Sydney in 2012, I did what everyone else did and provide a DVD with all of your wedding photography. Not only was I restricted to 4GB of storage, it was incredibly slow to copy. It would literally take 4 DVD’s just to fit all of the photos. In addition to this, if my clients lost their DVDs they would have to ask me for the photos again. Luckily, I would have a backup saved somewhere, but imagine if I didn’t and all of the memories were on those discs and you lost them…
Did you know that Apple no longer has DVD players in their iMacs and Macbooks? In their eyes, DVD’s are obsolete. In a few years time, no one will have a DVD player.
Enter USB’s. They are cheap, easy and portable. You can copy multiple versions of your photos, take them anywhere and show your friends and family. You can copy them to your computer. It’s good until they do a EPIC FAIL on you and you can’t read it anymore. Don’t even mention the MAC/PC compatibility issues. Everyone has a story of when a USB failed on them….again, imagine all of your wedding photos were on that USB and it stopped working….
And guess what, they are releasing a new USB C which will make your USB’s obsolete in a few years.
As a professional wedding photographer in Sydney, I knew there had to be a better way of storing your digital photos with confidence it will be there in 5, 10, 15 years time. Future proof your photos that not only look good but it will still be around when you need it.
Enter Shootproof!
I’ve been using Shootproof for over 2 years now and it has made my clients extremely happy.

The great thing about Shootproof is that your photos are displayed in stories of the day, example, Sarah Getting Ready, Brad Getting Ready, The First Look, The Ceremony etc. That way you can locate your photos quickly and not bore your friends and family with every photo of your wedding day. Trust me, only you and your future husband will sit through all of your photos for hours on end, not everyone will share the same enthusiasm!

Thank you Roxanne and Shaun for this wonderful review, I loved every minute of your wedding and the fact that you felt so comfortable around me that you can nearly call me part of the family for the day is just so heartwarming for me. Love how you gave me a 11 out of 10!
