Delivering All In Digital

Times are changing. It's important that we change with them.

When I was a kid I remember getting our first VCR. The first movie we recorded was Rocky II off of HBO. Then along came the DVD, and eventually the Blu-Ray disc. From talking to couples I believe the adaption of Blu-Ray discs is extremely slow and is going to be surpassed by streaming media devices.

The reason I say this is because we all own streaming media devices already, but we just don't think of it that way. Your cable box is a streaming media device. Your cell phone is. Your XBOX, Wii and Playstation 3 all have the ability to play video files over the internet. I have an Apple TV in my home and I haven't inserted a DVD in a player in years. All my favorite movies and TV shows are available at the touch of a button. Even when I am away from home I can watch them on my iPhone and iPad.

I believe that creating DVDs and Blu-Ray discs adds lots of unnecessary time to our post production. So I will now be delivering all our weddings using digital streaming media files. Your files will be delivered on a flash drive. There will not be a change in price. Although the flash drives are more expensive than the materials for the DVDs, they will save me a lot of time so our delivery times will be faster. Digital files are also much easier to share, upload and archive.

Of course, if anybody still would like the DVDs and Blu-Ray we will create them upon request.
