Online photo showcasing allows you share your photos with family and friends over the Internet. If your photographer is shooting digital, chances are they can make your proofs available for purchase online.

Speed
Gone are the days of waiting months to view your wedding photos. Today, photographers who offer online photo showcasing can provide digital images within days of your event, and print photographs within weeks of you placing the order. Finding an image among the hundreds of images you have is easy too. Your photographer will divide all your images into categories, making it convenient for you and your guests to find what you’re looking for. The categories are set by your photographer and can vary, but here are some examples of categories you might expect to find: Preparation, Bride, Groom, Family Groups, Bridal Party, Ceremony, Cocktail Hour, and Reception.

Sharing
Online photo showcasing allows you to email guests directly when images are available for viewing. Friends and family can order and pay for as many prints as they want. Your photographer benefits because more people seeing your images can lead to future work. By giving the guests access to your images, not only can they buy the prints they want, but you also save time and money by not having to take your proofs everywhere and buy pictures for family and friends. Some companies offer other great gift items such as albums, holiday cards, or DVDs of your favorite images put to music.

Saving
Traditional photography meant that your photos took up space at the photographer's studio, so a time limit would be set on how long the photos were kept on file. If anything happened to your wedding album four or five years after the wedding, there was no way you could reorder prints. Online photo showcasing allows you to archive your wedding photos electronically as high-resolution images. Since multiple copies of all of your wedding images are stored in different locations, you can rest assured that not a single image will ever be lost.
