Behind the Scenes with Associated Press: How We Protect Your Wedding Photos at BI
See Full Feature | Associated Press
We are thrilled to share that Bambino International was recently featured in an article by the Associated Press, highlighting an issue many couples fear: late photographers, surly attitudes, and unreliable service. The interview process was genuinely thrilling, and it gave us the chance to speak on a topic we care deeply about: what really happens behind the scenes after your wedding day. At Bambino International, we pride ourselves on delivering not just beautiful imagery, but the best possible experience from start to finish. We’ve heard the horror stories—and we’ve built our entire system to be the opposite of that.
Our process is rooted in trust, teamwork, and years of refining what it means to care for a couple’s memories. Because our job doesn’t end after we take the photo—it continues in how we handle, protect, and deliver what matters most to you.
That’s why we wanted to share what our process really looks like—from the first backup to the final delivery.
What happens behind the scenes? How we protect your wedding photos at Bambino International.
We shoot with dual card camera slots—every single image is recorded to two camera cards. This means every photo has a built-in backup from the moment it’s created. It’s a simple step that adds a powerful layer of protection.
Once we’re back in the studio, we carefully unload the memory cards onto a master hard drive dedicated to your wedding. This drive becomes the central point of our workflow, where everything is initially stored and cataloged. Next, we create a second backup on a production SSD. This isn’t just another copy—it’s the version our editors actually work from throughout the entire editing process. By separating this drive from our main archive, we streamline production while keeping your original files secure.
Our editing system is streamlined, efficient, and always intentional. From image curation to color grading, every step is done with care. We don’t rush—we refine. That’s how we ensure every gallery feels just as timeless and emotionally true as the day itself.
And our last layer of protection?
We don’t format or erase the original memory cards until every image is edited, uploaded, and successfully delivered to you (which is also a layer of backup). This extra buffer may seem small, but it’s a crucial safeguard—and one more way we show how much we care.
Our passion for this part of the process runs deep. This backend system didn’t happen overnight—it’s something we’ve built and refined over years of experience, as a team, with intention.
And this? It’s just one layer of everything that goes on behind the scenes at BI.

Rain fell softly over Covington the day Rachel and Collin said “I do,” setting the tone for a wedding that felt equal parts timeless and cinematic. From lace details and long sleeves to downtown streets glistening, their day unfolded with quiet elegance and moody beauty—proof that sometimes, the most memorable love stories are the ones written under cloudy skies.
No matter which communication method you choose, the goal is to keep your crew feeling included, informed, and excited to support you. A little intentionality goes a long way—keep it simple, keep it clear, and don’t be afraid to have some fun with it. With the right rhythm and tools, your wedding party will be your biggest supporters (and best hype team) all the way through “I do.”
Weddings are about more than just beautiful details and unforgettable moments—they’re about connection. As much as couples look forward to celebrating with their loved ones, it’s the energy between guests that often makes the day feel truly alive. From the way you design your seating chart to the kind of entertainment and guest experiences you offer, thoughtful planning can create the perfect environment for meaningful conversation to unfold naturally. Whether it’s laughter shared over cocktails or heartfelt words exchanged between old friends, the right touches can turn a celebration into a lasting memory.
At the heart of every great wedding is the feeling that guests weren’t just attending—they were part of something special. When couples infuse their day with intention, personality, and little sparks of interaction, it sets the stage for stories, laughter, and genuine connection. Whether it’s a creative guestbook, a signature cocktail, or a surprise dance moment that brings everyone together, those small choices invite your guests to do more than celebrate—they invite them to engage. And that’s where the magic happens.
When it comes to planning your wedding day, one of the most overlooked—but incredibly impactful—parts of the process is building a thoughtful, personalized timeline. While some couples fear that having a structured schedule will make the day feel rigid or overly orchestrated, the truth is just the opposite. A well-crafted timeline is what actually gives you the freedom to be fully present. It keeps things flowing smoothly, helps prevent stress, and creates space for those spontaneous, joy-filled moments you’ll remember forever. Whether you’re working with a planner or relying on your photographer and venue team, your timeline is the key to a day that feels intentional, relaxed, and entirely you.
Haley and Griffin’s wedding day was the perfect blend of sweetness, energy, and effortless connection. From getting ready at the timeless Lytle Park Hotel to rooftop portraits that felt straight out of a movie, their love took center stage in every moment. The indoor ceremony at Drees Pavilion was full of emotion, followed by candid skyline portraits and a reception that radiated pure joy. Every detail felt personal, every glance between them genuine—and their day was a true reflection of what it looks like to be fully present in love.
