Within 2 weeks after your photo shoot, you’ll receive an email with instructions and a link to your download gallery. Follow the link and you will get to your personal, password protected photos! You just need to do the next step and download them.
Do I have to order prints through you?
We usually offer only digital files with our packages. Prints and wall art of your photos can be purchased through your personal photo gallery.
How long will be my Photos stored or available in my gallery?
Well, we usually delete customer photos once they were downloaded from the gallery, because webspace costs money. Sometimes photos will remain longer in the customer's gallery, as long as we have enough webspace for our other customers available, but that's not a guarantee. We recommend to store your files in a safe place (hard disk) once you have downloaded them.

Some thoughts about Covid19 ...
Covid-19 has changed our lives tremendously and we are sad about that what this virus has caused. People lost their beloved ones, they lost their jobs, they are filled with fear, they are trapped at home and enjoying life is not that easy anymore.
Naples Dreams in Pixels PHOTOGRAPHY is taking it very seriously and wants to ensure that our customers do not have to worry during their photo shoot. We want them to be happy, to forget about Covid-19 - at least for a moment, for that moment when we are together with our customers and creating and freezing all those nice memories, such as a Couple, Engagement, Wedding and Family Photo shoot.
All we can say is that we respect our customers health. Naples Dreams in Pixels PHOTOGRAPHY is taking all necessary precautions for our customers, which means, that we are following all CDC Guidelines, such as wearing a mask, etc. We are also keeping our photography gear clean after each session, we are offering contact less payment ... and we also keep distance to our customers during the photo shoot - if we need to get closer to our customers, we just "zoom" them "in" with our camera lenses :-) Even after the photo shoot everybody will be safe, because we are delivering the photos through our Online Gallery, where our customers can easily choose, download and even purchase more photos of their special day.
This virus is still around and it will take us longer - longer than we might think to defeat and finally destroy that virus. We pray and hope that everybody is safe and taking their necessary precautions. We are #allinthistogether. Be safe!
Sincerley,
The Founders of Naples Dreams in Pixels PHOTOGRAPHY
