Gallery Guide
Thank you once again for trusting me with capturing your amazing memories. I am so honored that you had me as your photographer!
As part of what I love doing is helping you as much as possible to make sure that you get the most out of your photos! So now that you have your gallery, the best thing to do is take some time to enjoy your photos and relive your day.
I put together this guide to help you navigate your gallery and get the most use out of your photos.
Sneak Peek / Curate Highlight Gallery
The full gallery might have a slight difference in editing to maintain consistency across all photos. Feel free to use these photos as needed, but please hold off on printing till the final gallery is delivered.
Your sneak peek gallery is meant for sharing online with friends and family and not for printing (yet). If you're planning on printing something that requires high resolution (anything over 5x7) before you receive your full gallery, please let me know which photo you'd like to print, and I will upload a high-resolution version of that specific photo. Once you receive your final gallery, everything will be in high resolution.
Once the full gallery is ready, your final photos will be updated to the same gallery (I will email you again about it).
Downloading
After reviewing your day, it’s best to download the whole gallery at once using the pin number provided and back it up on a separate drive. The photos will be in this gallery for a year, so please don’t feel rushed to do so.
Sharing on Social Media
You can download individual photos for sharing on social media. The photos will be optimized for the best size for online sharing when you download individual photos. There will be no need to change anything at all as they will be ready to go!
If you plan on sharing multiple photos that have different orientations (landscape & portrait), please use in-app cropping - such as square crops in Instagram, or a simple app such as Whitgram to avoid any cropping.
Credits
Please tag & credit @WillKhouryPhotography when you share any photos on social media. This helps my little business to continue capturing beautiful memories like yours.
Other vendors that you’ve worked with will appreciate being credited as well since they love seeing the product of their work!
Edits
Please avoid using filters on your photos! Your photos have gone through a lot of TLC and they were individually hand edited to give your photos a signature look - this is what takes the most time and what brings your photos to life!
If I missed anything during my editing process(it happens every once in a while), please avoid using editing software to adjust your photos - these apps/automated programs tend to degrade the quality and overall look of the photos. Please let me know and I'll be happy to chat about anything before they are downloaded/printed/shared with anyone :)
Prints
If you or your family would like to purchase prints, I highly recommend ordering them through the "buy photo" button in your gallery. All photos will be processed at a professional lab on high-quality paper with much more TLC than generic printing companies. It's very convenient & can be delivered to any address.
You can also create a favorite list inside your gallery for all of your favorite photos to have them in one spot that’s super convenient to print from!
Large Prints & Wall Displays
Your photos are optimized and ready to be printed at any size up 11”x14” print without losing any quality or pixelation.
Going from digital photos to physical print is tricky!! I won’t dive into color science, but if you’d like to print any photo that is larger than 11x14” - Further processing is required. Please let me know which photo you’d like to print including the size that you’d like that in. This is the best way to avoid any pixelation, color separation, or quality change.
Once your specific photo has been optimized to the correct size, it will be uploaded to your gallery under a separate section titled “large print” that should be ready to be ordered directly from the gallery for the best quality possible.
Albums
There’s nothing like holding your memories in your hands. Flipping through them every once in a while and not have them tossed on a thumb drive in a drawer. This is where albums come in and just like with everything else that I do, I’m here to help you make this process. It’s super easy and simple - all you have to do is select your favorite photos, and let me handle the custom design, layout, arranging your photos, ordering, and delivery.
I’ve created this system to make the process of having a family heirloom simple and easy so you can sit back, save hours of the design process and enjoy the heck out of your memories!

It’s truly an honor to have been part of your day.
Thank you!!
