Important information about saving your images
Definitely worth a read!
We recommend saving your digital files in several locations to keep them safe and ensure you have backup copies should you need them. Pop them on a USB stick, on your cloud, email them to yourself - whatever you like!
In order to keep your high-resolution images in their best tip-top condition, we suggest that you download the original images directly onto a computer or a laptop. Where these will be able to preserve the best resolution of the images. You can of course share these images over to your mobile phones, social media etc - but just be aware that these images tend to be condensed and suppressed by apps compared to the original files.
If in the future you’d like to order any prints from us you’re more than welcome to, just let us know. With that said, if you decide to look elsewhere to get your images printed we suggest you use the original files on your laptop or computer to get prints.
