Understanding crops is important.  Different crops have different aspect ratios.  The initial image is the same aspect ratio of a 4x6 print.  When you go to a 5x7, the print is larger, but some of the image is trimmed  off.  An 8x10 requires even more trimming.  It is not that big of a deal, as I take cropping into consideration most of the time.

For a wedding, I do not plan on cropping some of the scene or group shots.  That is why I offer the 4x6 and like sizes.  Those sizes are not traditional for portraits, so there is not a 4x6 option via the standard ordering process for a portrait session; although, you may request a 4x6.   

NOTE: If something cannot be cropped the way you ordered it, I will skip over it, and refund you the difference. 

Wallets are die cut (meaning they have rounded corners).  During the die cutting, about 1/4 inch all the way around is lost. I take this into account when I setup a wallet for printing.  Just be aware that when I add text, I have to adjust the position of the text for every crop, and that is why I charge a little for adding text to your pictures.

Here is a quick guide for choosing crops:
