Ordering online for clients? - DPChallenge Forums

I recently photographed my 2nd wedding and they want me to set up an ordering form online so other people at the wedding can order photos. I was thinking of adding a password protected area to my website but im not sure how to set that up. I also found this place www.photoherald.com.....
What are some other options??

Thanks!

The site seems pretty vague. I use Photo Reflect. I am always please with their system.

My partner and I use photo reflect for our sports images, and I use smugmug for my wedding business. If you give smugmug a try, use Yi9EsaJKWupHM as the referring code. :-)

yep I am also a smugger, there you can have private or also password protected galleries, the private galleries wont show on your website, I love them, I also shot my first wedding a couple of months ago and I put them in up on my site so people from the wedding or family members of the wedding can order prints.

my reference code for smugmug if u want to sign up is..... gRqDsQdX03m9M

Thanks for the help everyone!

Im going to try Photo Reflect for now, so far it looks like they have a pretty good system. I started uploading photos to the album today and it was pretty easy. Thanks again!

Ok so I set up 3 folders of the wedding (no password yet)
I don't really like the website itself but I plan to get a new layout for my own personal website with a section for weddings and portraits.
Anyway here are the photos..what do you think?? I wish the bride and groom would have let me take some photos of them before the wedding...

Justin, I will be very honest here. I think you are a much superior photographer to the images you presented. They are good, I am not saying that. However, you used a lot of high contrast, vignetting, d/b it seems, which is usually cool, but on some of the photos was a tad distracting from the b/g or whatever was the main subject.

I am thinking it is a good reminder that for all of us, the first time or two around a new experience, we will learn and grow. I am about to go through the same fire soon myself, so I will take all the insight you have to offer.

I too am looking at a place like photoreflect, but I am with you, I don't think I like photoreflect. I am leaning towards www.printroom.com. The website looks good and I have had good recommendations.

Thanks for sharing.

i think the photos are excellent, Justin, and the albums look great.

actually, i quite like the high contrast and vignetting you've used. it isolated the couple from the distracting background and added a bit more drama to an almost storybook setting. there's a good mixture of formal and candid shots.

nice work :)

well thanks for the honesty :), I was a bit disapointed too because the couple wouldn't work with me... I insisted on different things but they said they didn't want it. Another problem for me was the reception, it was at night in a place without much light so I had to use the flash (which I don't like much)...In the end she liked the photos a lot so I was releived (she said she wanted effects like that so they are more "artsy" :P)... Its only my second wedding so I have a lot to learn...

I'll have to look into www.printroom.com ... ;)

Well, I think the photos are amazing. I really like the treatment you've used on them.
