    I know many of you have worked with photographers who have given you digital copies of the photos with permission to print on your own.  I am just wondering what sites you've used, and how you've shared your photos with friends and family (especially for those who want to order prints)

    I originally set up a Shutterfly share site and asked our wedding guests to upload photos there...so there are already a few guest photos in additional to our professional pictures, if i use it.  I'm not sure I want to use it for our professional pictures because I'm not sure of the quality.

    I've already uploaded all my wedding photos to Flickr because I used Flickr for photo hosting on my blog. Flickr uses Snapfish to order photos, but again I'm unsure on the quality. (the positive for this option is all the photos are already uploaded!)

    My last thought was to upload all my photos to Mpix.com because I have used them for my own personal wedding photos to be printed, and it's probably the highest quality of the three.

    My photographers don't use any site of their own to host or sell their photos--they have always just handed off cds to the clients.

    What do you think?  What have you guys done?

    i am using flickr for the photos for everyone to look at...however...for my in-laws, aunts/uncles and cousins who live in town and want to actually print out pics, we downloaded the pics onto two different usb flash drives (both 16gb since the photos were so large) and their passing it around themselves. So far, its only made it to four different families but we don't know what else to do.  maybe it'll be passed around to everyone by the end of the year? lol.

    I'm planning on using Olapic to both share our pictures and get pictures from our guests. They let you download the high-res files or order prints directly from them. It's only $100 for a year (unlimited uploads/downloads), so I'm planning on getting it started this summer before our Vietnamese engagement ceremony so I can get pics from showers, rehearsal dinner, etc. I've heard great things about it on the boards so I'm hoping it works out!
