Organizing Your Print Photos

In order for us to insure your photos appear in the order you desire, we reccomend numbering your photos.  Please do not write of the surface of the image!  You can write on the back of your photos with a pencil, or use sticky note labels. We caution against using a pen, as the ink may leak through. If you make a mistake in the numbering order, instead of renumbering them all, just insert the new image(s) with a letter added. For example, 23, 23A, 23B, and so on.

Planning Your Presentation

At a minimum, we suggest at least an opening title, such as “The Love Story of Jane and John”.  If your presentation is for a wedding celebration, we recommend separating your photos into sections.  These sections typically have their own separate piece of background music.  The first segment might feature the bride from child to adult, the second segment would feature the same for the groom, and a third section would be photos of the couple together.

Taking Notes

It’s helpful to note down a simple outline for your presentation.  Here’s an example:

This is just a general guideline.  Your sections don’t necessarily need their own title for example.  We do think it is however a nice touch.

Other Considerations

Photos are typically provided in print form.  If your pictures are from a digital camera, you may simply rename the files “1.jpg 2.jpg 3.jpg…” and so on.  For those that own a scanner, we caution against scanning print photos yourself.  We use high quality photo scanners, and will typically achieve better results.  As part of your Montage package, you will receive a CD containing the scanned images.  You’ll be able to view the images on a computer, or take the disc to a photo shop if you’d like to make additional prints.

If you have any questions about preparing your photos, or any other details about your montage, please contact us.
