Our custom lab services available only to our portrait session customers, our own Top Class Portraits photographers and professional photographers who rent our studio and/or Portrait Park immediately behind the studio.
Portrait customers of Top Class Portraits™ may upload your photos to the lab for printing using the FILE UPLOADER below. This may include your own photos you've taken inside the studio as well as in the "Portrait Park" outside area behind the studio as well as at other locations with your own camera.
If it has been several months or even over a year, you may also upload your favorite images from any of your portrait sessions you've had with us. You must also have your payment information on file at my office to minimize transmission of your payment info across the internet. Your order will be ready for pick-up at the studio by the next business day.
PHOTOGRAPHIC PRINTING:
We do NOT guarantee photo enhancements, retouch, printing, manipulation or inferior services of other photo labs which you may take to have digital portraits provided by us to be printed by other photo labs.
Carefully inspect any and all enhancements, retouch, creative applications BEFORE you have printed by our photo lab or by any other photo lab. Especially for enlargement. For example, retouch that may not be visible in a small print, may become visible in a larger print.
When you choose our in-house photo lab for printing - we make further corrections to the digital portrait before we print . . . and at no additional charge. We are a CUSTOM digital lab. This means you WILL receive better quality and faster service from us than probably any other lab anywhere in the United States! We usually deliver print orders by next business day at the studio with no shipping & handling charges for pick-up!
GREEN SCREEN PROCESSING:
We can process for you. One green screen processing is included for each hour of portrait session. Hundreds of digital backgrounds to choose from for replacing the green screen. Any additional images you would like to have green screen processing are priced at $1.50 each. These may be uploaded anytime after the session using the Contact Form. We will provide email link to your processed green screen files for full-resolution download. Some digital background examples below.

What is "basic retouch"? Answer: All digital and print images I create for my portrait customers include "basic" photo retouching. I define it as any photo shop retouching I have the skills and ability to do within 60 seconds per image. Doesn't matter how complex or sophisticated some may consider the photo shop technique employed, as long as I can do it for you within 60 seconds - your image will get it as I deem necessary and at no extra charge to you.

Synopsis | The Online Interactive Multimedia Virtual Wedding Album
Synopsis | The Online Interactive Multimedia Virtual Wedding Album
This beautiful Fall online wedding album at DEMO 3.
Over the past 10 years especially we have seen some big advancements in photography and video equipment. Computers and accessories. Also in home television. Namely, Smart TVs. Also huge pricing decreases.
These various electronic technologies is LEADING the wedding photography industry towards making online interactive virtual wedding albums the widely accepted standard by consumers.
They are not a fad. They are not a novelty.
Innovative photographers and videographers who are keeping up with our industries have to see the writing on the wall. The lines between our roles are becoming blurred. In the very near future - there will not be "wedding photographers" and "wedding videographers" as such. The main and lead role will be "Multimedia Wedding Producers".
Just had to address the "naysayers" of these online albums. It's kinda funny that professional videographers charge people hundreds to thousands of dollars for wedding video coverage. What do people tangibly receive? A disc and what are they expected to do? WATCH THE VIDEO ON THEIR TVs. We are all also viewing our photos on computer monitors and TVs as well. A few years ago, still cameras and video cameras were completely seperate devices. Now, our still cameras come with video capabilities that rival and are even superior to the video cameras of yesterday. Even our mobile phones have 4K video capabities.
The next step in the innovation and technological advancement of wedding documentation - is the online interactive multimedia virtual wedding album. It simply consists of all these media as well as 360° views & tours combined into a more cohesive, coordinated and polished end product offering it all together. - John Wilson
