Do You Backup the Wedding Photos?
Yes, I do back up all wedding photos! As soon as I take a photograph at the wedding, it is automatically backed up. All of my cameras that we use have two card slots. So if I take a photo, it records the image on to Card #1 and automatically backs it up on Card #2. The cards mirror each other which automatically creates a backup of your wedding photos.
After the wedding, I’ll get home, and that night, I will download the cards to my computer which would be the second back up and then download them to two external hard drives. Then, at 3 a.m. the night of your wedding, I use a software called Back Blaze and it takes all of the photos and uploads them to a cloud before I edit any of them.
I label my hard drives “Wedding Photos A” and “Wedding Photos B,” and the pictures go on each of those. After those photographs are downloaded to Hard Drive A and Hard Drive B, I then select the 700 photographs that I want to edit.
After I edit them, I will upload them to the cloud, which would be the fifth backup of your wedding photos. So we use Card #2, my computer, two hard drives, and the cloud to back up these photos, meaning there are extensive backups to your wedding photos.
So, yes! I absolutely do backup your photos. I take it very seriously and have lots of different ways of backing them up.
