  • Do we receive all our digital images in high resolution?

    Author: Hood Event Photography |

    Yes! Some photographers will hold you, hostage forever and never release their high-resolution files. Some will only provide watermarked samples in low resolution. Some will provide files that can't be enlarged beyond 8x10. Some will prohibit you from posting images on your personal blog or Facebook page. We don't play these games. You will be provided with professionally retouched digital images in a non-watermarked, high-resolution format suitable for future printing, framing, social media sharing, web posting, and archival.
