One comment I have: we show about 500 images at our projection "party" because these are the images we want to put on-line (we shoot 1200-1500 at the wedding). Images do not go on line until our clients see them first - this is the reason we give for not uploading their images immediately. We help them select the images for their album THAT NIGHT. Now the images go up right away for others to view and order. We have better control of what actually goes into the wedding book and they select their favorite images while they are still excited about them. I know, it takes longer to do it this way, but our averages went up significantly when we started doing this 12 years ago. I do like the idea of our clients seeing images ASAP after the wedding while they are on honeymoon, as well as parents and wedding party, so we upload a "sneak preview" of 40 to 50 enhanced images in slide show format on our web site's Event Gallery. This gets our clients excited to see all the rest of the images after the honeymoon. Thanks, again, for being so giving with your good advice.
