A Guide to Storing Your Wedding Photos and Videos

After your wedding, you receive your wedding photos and videos from your photography team. You want to be able to show them to your children and grandchildren one day, so you have to handle them carefully and store them properly.  Most couples are also incredibly mobile, shifting cities or countries depending on their careers, making finding reliable storage for your wedding photos and videos even more important.

After shooting hundreds of weddings, at 1Plus1 Studio we have noticed that most couples store their photos on just one storage option: a Hard Disk Drive(HDD). This is risky as HDDs are prone to failure.

Also do not rely on your photographer to store your photos and videos for you. At 1Plus1 Studio we periodically delete photos and videos we have delivered to clients keeping in line with best security and privacy practices.

The smart strategy to follow is this: Backup and then diversify your Backups.

Below are 3 ways to store your wedding photos and video and we suggest you do all 3.

1. Store Them on aN SSD (Solid State Drive)

The first way you can store your wedding photos and videos is by storing them on a Solid State Drive. An SSD is a type of storage that uses flash memory to store data. Flash memory is more durable than traditional hard drives, so it is less likely that your photos and videos will be corrupted or lost if you store them on a SSD hard drive. There are many different brands of SSD hard drives, SanDisk and Samsung are reliable ones.

A common mistake is to store the photos and videos on a hard disk drive (HDD), typically that of your desktop. These have a much higher failure rate than a Solid State Drive due to moving parts involved.

2. Store Them on the Cloud

Our favorite way to store your photos is to store them on the cloud. 

There are many different cloud storage options available, such as iCloud, Dropbox, and Google Photos. Cloud storage is a great option because it offers redundancy, which means that your photos and videos will be safe even if one storage option fails. 

We recommend Google Photos as the storage solution for both photos and videos. The benefits of Google Photos include its accessibility across Android, iOS and multiple browsers, superb AI based organization and searching capabilities, and great sharing features.

  1. The app's cross-platform support means that photos can be easily accessed and shared across devices. 

  2. Its AI-based organization capabilities mean that photos can be automatically grouped into albums and collections based on their content, making it easy to find a particular photo. Google Photos also provides powerful search capabilities that allow users to search for photos by keyword, location, or even content type. 

    So you can search for images by faces, if they have sunsets in them or photos of a person eating food. Google photos can also search inside videos for special moments!

  3. Google Photos provides excellent sharing features. Photos can be easily shared with friends and family, both through the app and via email, text message, and social media. Shared albums can also be created, allowing multiple people to add photos to the same album.

3. Print the Photos into Albums and Wall Prints

The third way you can store your wedding photos is by printing the photos. Printing your photos will allow you to create physical copies that you can hold onto for years to come. You can frame your favorite photos and hang them up in your home, or put them in a photo album so you can look at them whenever you want. Printing your photos is also a great way to share them with family members who don't have access to the internet or are not comfortable with technology like your grandparents.

Goa Destination Wedding: A Breathtaking Affair at The Zuri White Sands, Goa

A wedding sets off two souls on an adventurous journey of lifelong companionship and love.

With destination weddings being the flavour of the season, Amogh and Aparna selected one of the most exotic locations in India to mark their wedding: Goa.

Destination Weddings in Goa can be fun filled, this one was breathtaking.

Amogh and Aparna are both doctors by profession. So when it comes to matters of the heart, they both know very well what they want, which is why they zeroed in on The Zuri White Sands, Goa Resort & Casino as the venue for their big day.

The spacious property of Zuri Goa offers a spectacular combination of excellent landscapes and a private beach. We had a fabulous time capturing priceless moments of this beautiful Tamil wedding in Goa.

Lovely Traditional Engagement Ceremony

Aparna and Amogh’s wedding celebrations began with the engagement ceremony. Amogh arrived for the ceremony in a vintage car, followed by his baraat. The baraatis had a lot of fun as they danced to the beats of dhol. They were given a grand welcome by the bride’s side.

The vibrant décor of the venue set the mood for the celebrations. Festooned in pink and yellow, the bright props and fresh flowers presented a sight to cherish.

The couple decided to wear colour-coordinated outfits for the occasion. While the groom looked handsome in his pale yellow-green attire, the bride complemented his look by wearing a saree of the same colour. She matched it with a magenta-pink blouse and stone-studded jewellery.

The couple exchanged rings, following all the traditions. After the ceremony, we took Aparna and Amogh for a couple-shoot in another part of the venue.

A Spectacular Sangeet Event

For the Sangeet, the outdoor venue was decked up with plenty of lights and props. A well-decorated stage was set up against the backdrop of the night sky.

The couple made a grand entry to the venue, with pyros lighting their way. They looked picture-perfect as they walked in hand-in-hand, sporting matching off-white outfits with intricate, colorful floral designs on them.

The Sangeet was marked by a lot of lively dance performances by the friends and family of the couple. The highlight of the evening was a special dance performance by the couple. They mesmerized everyone with their dance moves. Later, everyone joined in the revelry and had a fabulous time dancing and enjoying themselves.

We did a couple-shoot before the evening came to an end. The lighted props against the blanket of darkness proved to be an ideal background. Aparna and Amogh looked so much in love, and it was marvellously reflected in the photos as well.

A Fairy-Tale Tamil Wedding

A Tamil wedding on a beach in Goa – Aparna and Amogh’s wedding had all the elements of a fairy-tale wedding infused with traditions. The beach venue decorated with fresh flowers in pastel shades looked incredibly enchanting.  

For her special day, Aparna dressed up in a bright red saree. She accessorized her look with golden ornaments. We took several bridal shots where she looked super pretty. Before she went to the mandap, she sent a beautiful letter and gift to her groom.

In keeping with the traditions, Amogh wore a white outfit with a golden border for his wedding. When he received Aparna’s letter, he read it delightedly, with much interest.

Aparna entered the venue under a phoolon ki chaadar. As she walked to the mandap, the family blew bubbles to add a magical touch to her entry. It was endearing to watch her groom wait for her eagerly at the mandap.

The couple followed all the rituals of a traditional Tamil wedding. Among the key rituals were the thali and the pheras, where they walked hand-in-hand around the holy fire. When it was time for the groom to put sindoor on his bride’s forehead, he happily did so and performed the other rituals.  

Once the wedding was over, we took photos of the couple with their friends and family. The best part was when we took the couple to the beach. We shot some amazing photos of the newlywed couple against a glittering background of the sand, sun, and sea.

We will cherish the memories of this lovely couple and their Goa Destination Wedding for a long, long time.
