New Boutique Packaged USB Drives

In a previous F.A.Q. post we featured how you would have expected your high-res image files to be delivered. We used to deliver wedding images on DVD discs in a custom case. Not anymore. To revisit what was posted in the F.A.Q. here are the ways you can expect to receive your cherished wedding photos.

In addition to an album and prints, they’ll get to you in two ways.

One: every collection gets a complimentary personal online photo gallery. You can keep it private, lock it down with a password, or post it for everyone to admire. You can forward a link to all your friends and family, invite them to the “Event”, mark your favorites, have your friends mark their favorites, and even share them on Facebook. You and your loved ones can also purchase prints and collections directly from the gallery. Our professional photo lab uses the highest quality photo paper and ink to ensure color accuracy, sharpness, saturation and durability that will stand the test of time. Each photo is also physically checked by a Lab Technician for color accuracy and consistency to make sure it’s perfect before it gets to it’s destination.

Two: If you choose a collection that includes the high-res images, you’ll receive a custom Laser-Engraved USB Drive presented in a handsome wood case.

This is pretty much an update on the previous post: “How will I receive my wedding photos?”

I also wanted to show off some great new products we have here.

Houston Engagements – Kayla and Danny in The Woodlands, TX

Just wanted to drop a quick post of Kayla and Danny’s engagement session. Things have been kind of crazy around here the last few months but I’m glad to finally get back to sharing these great images I get to create with some exceptional people.

We shot these portraits in The Woodlands, Texas, a local favorite of mine. After shooting for a while, we even took a break for some food and drinks at The Goose’s Acre. (Thanks guys!) I’m really looking forward to Kayla and Danny’s Wedding coming up next month, so until then, enjoy a few images from their engagement session.

Black Friday Sale 2012 is ON!

Much like almost everything else on Black Friday, we here at SSP are in the mood for special offers!

Houston Family Portraits

What special offers? Well for this weekend only we’re offering $99 mini-portrait sessions, as well as 25% off prints, and 25% off Albums! (Please inquire of album and print rates)

If you’ve had a session with us before, now is a great time to stock up on professional grade, fully retouched prints. Our prints are superior to your local drugstore prints because we use photo labs that cater exclusively to professionals. Our labs physically check and visually inspect each print to make sure they’re perfect. They’re printed using archival inks on professional quality luster-finish paper.

Houston Portrait Prints

If you’re one of our past Wedding clients, you can snag an heirloom for 25% off list price! Our luxurious premium albums are hand made, leather bound with the finest leathers, and optionally trimmed with exotic leathers like alligator, ostrich, and more. And these aren’t the “drop-in-your-poloaroids” albums you may be used to. These are custom-designed story book style layouts with the same premium printing and paper used for our prints. Each page is mounted on a substrate that makes the pages thick and rigid, withstanding decades of turning and use.

And finally, if you’ve been wanting to have some family portraits, lifestyle portraits, or just need some new headshots for your social networking or business networking profile photos, now is the time to take advantage of this special.

Book a 30-minute mini-photo session for only $99, and receive One (1) 8×10, or Two (2) 5×7 professional grade prints with your session. (Gift certificates also available!)

Houston Bridals: Noemi at The Heights Villa

I almost forgot that I was allowed to post these now. I have been wanting to share them for some time, but you can’t post pics of the bride all over the internet before her own wedding!

I’m kind of a huge fan of Bridal Portraits. I think every Bride should have them. As I’ve said before, you spend so much time deciding which wedding gown to wear on arguably the most important day of your life, it really deserves it’s own photo session. Not only that, they’re super fun. Trust me. 🙂

I highly recommend having a Bridal Portrait Session if you’re getting married.

Noemi’s Bridals were shot at The Heights Villa in Houston, Texas. It’s a nice venue which has recently undergone some re-modeling, so it looks great inside and out. Noemi and Edgar recently got married there, so you can look for a nice long post or two from their wedding day.

You’ll notice Edgar in a few of these shots- Noemi had the idea of bringing him along for fun, but keeping him blindfolded so that he wouldn’t see her dress until their wedding day. It worked for sure, and made for some hilariously fun moments.

We had a blast shooting these. Noemi made for a fabulous model and has a great smile that is highly contagious.

Feel free to leave a comment, share on Facebook, and Pin these to your Pintrest if you like. Enjoy.

F.A.Q.: How will I receive my Wedding Photos?

Here’s Just a quick post to show off some great looking cases that our great looking clients get to have when they choose a collection with an Image Disc.

It’ll also answer the above Frequently Asked Question: “How will I receive my Wedding Photos?”

In addition to an album and prints, they’ll get to you in two ways.

One: every collection gets a complimentary personal online photo gallery. You can keep it private, lock it down with a password, or post it for everyone to admire. You can forward a link to all your friends and family, invite them to the “Event”, mark your favorites, have your friends mark their favorites, and even share them on Facebook. You and your loved ones can also purchase prints and collections directly from the gallery. Our professional photo lab uses the highest quality photo paper and ink. Each photo is also physically checked by a Lab Technician for color accuracy and consistency to make sure it’s perfect before it gets to it’s destination.

Two: You’ll receive a custom DVD Image Disc with your name and image on the disc, coddled in a dapper DVD Case. These cases aren’t the mass-produced handiwork of robots. These are hand-made (by humans) with all natural products like Hemp, Cotton, and Antique Paper dipped in Beeswax, so no two are exactly alike. Since they’re made from all-natural products, they’re a really nice “Green” alternative to leather, plastic, and rubber packaging.

Here’s just a few photos of a couple of the cases that are currently in stock:
