Most wedding photo coverage extends past 7 hours. In that time Cyrus will shoot around 3000 images on average and deliver about 700 edited images in the proof book. What happens to the other 2300 images? Well, first of all these are  moved to a folder called "Reserves" and archived away for safe keeping.

It's important to understand that these photos do not make the "cut" and  are not edited nor are they presented in the proof book.

If a couple purchase the photos on disc they will only receive the edited images, not the reserves. However, Lighthouse has a policy guarantee in regards to the reserves that enables couples to receive the reserves at an extra cost of $300.

The Reserves are obtainable only by first waiting 4 weeks after the edited images are sent and then making a written request via email.

Reserves are in the original RAW format, this means that these can not be printed or viewed by PC computers without specialised software. Most MACS can view RAW images. If you can not access your images on a computer we recommend you download ACDSee Pro to view these images. The trial version is free for 30 days.

After the reserves are purchased, another Lighthouse policy guarantee is that we are happy to edit up to 100 images in the reserves free of charge. After the first 100 images the cost of edit is $5 an image.
