Came across your site through flickr… love the idea about the jewel cases. I had the same problem when sending off DVDs to my clients, but you’ve definitely given me something new to try out. thanks!

Hi Scott!
This is Whit King’s mom. I haven’t seen the DVD yet, am waiting on my copy, but I’ve heard tons of praise from those who have it. Love your idea of branding the jewelboxes. It makes it so personal. And I know that Whit and Rebecca will enjoy filling in the information for a keepsake. Super idea!
Also, I just wanted to tell you again, what an awesome photographer you are. You were practically invisible during the wedding, but look at the shots you got! I don’t know how you did it, but we are all beyond pleased with the job you did. I wish you were on the mainland. My youngest son is engaged now and will probably get married before the year is out and I’d sure love to have you do his wedding too!

Thanks, Mark. I guess it comes down to personal preference. They had almost 400 images on these DVDs, a slideshow, a coffee table album. The last thing I really wanted to do was smother the design in images! So I thought maybe they could actually DO something with this stuff (or simply choose not to).

Scott, great jewel cases and booklets. I’m giving my wedding customers a standard DVD case with a set of (what I think) the best 5 shots from the wedding. A big photo from the set of posed shots on the front, and four smaller shots at the back.
I think the idea of having the couple write something into the booklet is interesting, BUT I would not actually be comfortable with this. What if they do not have that many friends? What if they have a bad handwriting and don’t want to “spoil” the booklet? What if their fav’s change over time?
Problem is – if they find an EMPTY booklet after a few years, they might have a strange feeling when watching the DVD.
(But I *really* like your cover design.)
