How I Protect Your Images

Your wedding day is full of moments that can never be recreated. Protecting those memories is my highest priority.

As your photographer, I don’t just capture your wedding—I protect it. From the moment I click the shutter to the day you receive your gallery (and long after), I take every step to ensure your images are safe, secure, and preserved for generations to come.

Whether we’re documenting your wedding, engagement, or family session, your photographs represent once-in-a-lifetime memories. Here’s how I make sure those memories are protected from day one.

My Image Protection Workflow

1. Dual Card Backup While Shooting

Every camera I use records to two memory cards simultaneously. If one card fails (which is rare but possible), the second card has a complete backup of your wedding images. This ensures no photos are lost, even before I leave your event.

2. Immediate Data Transfer & Redundancy

As soon as I get home from your wedding or session, your images are copied to multiple hard drives—usually within a few hours. I store your photos in two separate physical locations and one secure cloud-based storage system. That’s three copies before editing even begins.

3. Professional Cloud Backup

In addition to local backups, I use a professional-grade cloud backup system to protect your images from fire, theft, or hardware failure. Your photos are encrypted and stored securely offsite for peace of mind.

4. Non-Destructive Editing

I edit your photos using non-destructive techniques, meaning your original images are never altered or overwritten. I maintain a separate backup of raw files so I can always return to your originals if needed.

5. Secure Online Gallery Delivery

Your final edited images are delivered through a password-protected online gallery. Only people with the direct link and password can view or download your photos. You’ll also have the option to share selectively with friends and family.

6. Long-Term Archive

I archive your wedding and session photos for at least 1 year, but I often keep them for longer. If you accidentally lose your gallery or forget to download, you can always reach out—I likely still have a copy safely stored.

Why Image Protection Matters

In a digital world, data loss can happen—whether through hardware failure, cyber threats, or simple human error. As a professional wedding photographer in San Antonio, it’s not just my job to take great photos—it’s my responsibility to keep them safe.

Your wedding memories are priceless. And while photos can’t stop time, protecting them ensures you’ll be able to relive the laughter, tears, and joy forever.
