Free photo prints with a service: the principle

Behind every photo or video service lies a detail few clients expect: a set of paper prints comes free with the service, whatever the event. Many discover it when they receive their quote, without necessarily knowing how it works or why its size varies from one event to another.

Here is what this free set of prints covers, why its size depends on the event, when it is confirmed to you, and how to add to it if the need arises afterwards. The principle applies to a photo-only service as much as to one combining photo and video, or to a party: the set of prints is common to every configuration.

What is this set of prints being offered?

Every service, whether requested for a wedding, birthday, christening, corporate seminar, or private party, includes a complimentary set of prints. This is a selection of printed images, provided in addition to the event photos, without any action required on your part: it's part of the service, just like the photography itself. This set doesn't replace the photos; it's an extra, allowing you to take home something tangible without having to wait to print them yourself.

Why its size depends on the event

A wedding does not bring together as many guests as a birthday among friends, a small christening or a company seminar. The size of the free set of prints therefore varies with the type of event. Clients do not have to estimate it themselves: it is set from the event described in the request, with no calculation on their side, and it is confirmed to them in writing with the quote.

When it is confirmed to you

The free set of prints is neither a hidden option nor a last-minute surprise: its size is confirmed to you in writing together with the quote, whether for a wedding photography service or another kind of event. Clients have nothing to claim or tick: the point is settled before they accept anything, like the rest of the proposal, written by hand and tailored to the request. When they confirm, they already know that paper prints will be part of what they receive after the event.

The two print formats: instax WIDE and 10 × 15

The printing service offers two formats; the one used for the free set is specified with the quote:

• The print on film instax WIDE, in the elongated format characteristic of the instant, convenient to slip into a light frame, a card or a small album.
• The classic 10 × 15 photo print, more traditional, suitable for standard photo albums and commercially available frames.

The choice depends primarily on the intended use: the instax WIDE format is suitable for a gift or something to slip into a card, while the 10 x 15 format is better suited to a photo album or a commercially available frame. This is a question to ask during the quote discussion, rather than after the event.

Order additional prints

If the included set isn't enough, for a more complete album or to share more images with loved ones who attended the event, additional prints can be ordered online at /impression, without creating an account. Orders range from one to five hundred prints, enough to cover anything from a single frame to a complete album for distribution. The service includes both film instax WIDE and classic 10x15 photo prints, with shipping throughout France, and operates independently of the set already received with the service. Prints can also be added to a material reservation: they will then be shipped with the package, at no extra cost. The order is placed using the digital files delivered after the event, allowing ample time to choose the images to print at your leisure, without any pressure on the day itself. You can also order multiple times if new ideas arise a few weeks or months later, while reflecting on the event.

This applies to every service offered, including a wedding photography service, where the set naturally accompanies the pictures of the big day. The rest is decided in the exchange that follows the request: type of event, moments to cover, intended use of the prints. The more precise the request, the more precise the written answer, on the prints as on the rest of the service. A detailed quote request is therefore the first step.
