At Shevchik Production, we specialize in wedding photography and videography, dedicated to capturing every moment of your special day. We understand the importance of preserving these memories and offer the following services and recommendations to ensure their safekeeping.
Delivery of Materials
We deliver your wedding photographs and videos through platforms like Pixieset and Dropbox. These platforms allow us to provide your files in maximum resolution and quality, free from watermarks, ensuring convenient and secure access to your materials.
If you request the original RAW footage, we provide it via Dropbox. The download link remains active for two months from the time of delivery. Due to the substantial storage space required for RAW files, we maintain them on Dropbox only for this duration.
Recommendations for Backup
Upon receiving your materials, we strongly advise creating multiple backups of your photos and videos to safeguard against potential loss or damage. Consider the following methods:
Cloud Storage: Store copies in cloud services such as Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud, or pCloud. Cloud storage offers access to your files from anywhere and protects them from physical damage.
Local Copies: Save the materials on your computer and external devices like hard drives or memory cards. This provides an additional layer of protection and quick access to your files.
Adhering to the 3-2-1 backup rule—maintaining three copies of your data on two different storage mediums, with one offsite—can effectively safeguard your memories.
Storage Duration of Materials
We guarantee the storage of your materials based on the selected wedding package:
Standard Packages: Storage for one year from the date of delivery.
Extended Packages: Option to extend storage up to 20 years, with additional yearly fees ranging from $50 to $100, depending on the chosen package.
Please note that high-quality wedding photos and videos require substantial storage space. Timely backups and consideration of extended storage options are crucial to ensure the longevity of your memories.
Retrieval of Deleted Materials
If you do not opt for extended storage and the standard storage period has expired, we cannot guarantee the preservation of your materials. In the event of loss after the storage period, we can attempt to retrieve the files, with costs determined by the time elapsed since storage expiration:
Within the first year after deletion: $350
Within two years after deletion: $600
Within three years after deletion: $800
Within four years after deletion: $1,000
Within five years after deletion: $1,200
After five years, the likelihood of successful retrieval diminishes significantly, and costs will be assessed individually.
If you request RAW files, please note that they are very large in size. We deliver them via Dropbox, where they will remain available for two months from the date of delivery. If you do not download them within this timeframe or lose access to the files, retrieval after deletion will incur an additional fee of $100 for each month of storage beyond the deletion date. Please keep in mind that we cannot guarantee the recovery of RAW files beyond one year unless extended storage has been arranged.
Conclusion
Preserving your wedding memories is our top priority. To ensure their long-term safety, we encourage you to actively participate in the backup process and consider extending the storage duration. This approach will keep your cherished moments secure and accessible for years to come.
