Images now provided on Flash Drives!


J. Mark Photography is excited to announce that wedding images will now be provided to you on a flash drive. Standard DVD's have a shelf life mainly determined by the coating applied to the disc and how they are handled. The materials used in them can decay over time and render them unreadable, as can minor scratches. Flash drives transfer files quickly and will provide you with easy downloads. The flash drive will come with instructions. After download, you can put your flash drive on your key ring and always have your wedding images to show family and friends in minutes.

That is the good news, now here is the bad. We just read a shocking article that 75% of all brides don't print pictures or make an album. Almost all brides said they loaded the images on to facebook, digital frames and loaded on to their computers. Lets back up... 75% said they don't make prints. Well, that is scary. The article said they surveyed brides and to asked them why. Responses ranged from brides intended to make their own albums but never get around to it, that every waking minute was no longer focused on wedding planning and life goes back to the busy...work, home, friends, and often new little ones.

About 40% of our brides select a package with an album. These are modern yet classic keepsakes that will last a lifetime. Take our advice. Don't let your digital media sit idle. Make prints, make a scrapbook, or DIY album, format a book using one of the numerous online services. Then, safely store your digital media. Give copies to your mother, brother, best friend, and one for your safety deposit box. We are delivering memories on a thumb drive. Turn them into something you can admire on your walls and on your coffee table.
