Is the logo (watermark) going to be removed from the image?
Of course! The watermark is only used to protect our work against illegal downloads!

I want digital copies of the images is this possible?
Yes we offer lots of download options! If you order downloads your images will
automatically be processed as jpeg downloads. If you can’t download your images straight away you will receive an email letting you know when they will be ready. You have full rights to print these images for personal use only (they can not be used for commercial/marketing purposes).

I want to order multiple prints do you have any package options?
We have lots of print and download packages available. When viewing and ordering your images be sure to click on the packages tab to view all products/ packages available.

I’m trying to order a package including photos from two albums – Can I do this?

Yes this is possible providing the albums are under the same access code! In order to order a package which includes images across two albums e.g. portrait photos and action shots you first have to add your images to your wish list. To do this simply select the images you’d like to order and click on the heart icon to add to wish list.

Once all desired images have been added, go to your Wish List in the top right corner of the page from here you can order your package.

For more details on how to do this, view our ‘How To’ guide at the top of this page.

What is the quality of prints, posters, etc.?
We are committed to offering only the highest quality. All our prints follow a triple check system and our production team follow strict quality guidelines. If you are not satisfied with the quality of your photo products, please feel free to get in touch.

*Please note action shots from shows have extremely variable lighting which is unfortunately out of our control. Our photographers aim to get the best photos possible but sometimes the quality of the photos are lessened due to low lighting. Our production team do their best efforts on post production to increase the quality of these images for you but we strongly
recommend not ordering prints bigger than 6″ x 9”.

Can I crop the images?
Yes. You will find this option within the basket. If you crop the image, an enlargement of the selected area is created. Our production team crop the photos to ensure the best quality when the photos are printed, it is at your own risk if you crop an image significantly, especially action shots.

I rarely order online – how can I order my photos here?

Select a photo that you like from your album and click “Order photo.” Then select the product of your choice, enter the desired quantity and click on “Add to basket”. When you have placed all of the photos you like into your shopping cart, click “Basket” on the top right of the screen and follow the instructions.

Where can I see the status of my order?
The easiest way is to click the link within your order confirmation email. Alternatively you can login with the password and email address you received via email. Once you’ve logged in, your order details can be found under “My Account”.

How long will the delivery take?
The delivery time is dependent on the payment/ delivery method. We aim to have your order processed and shipped within 5-7 business working days. All our orders are sent 2nd class by Royal Mail.

Orders which include free shipping to your school are processed in bulk 5-10 business days after the order deadline. This means your order won’t be sent back to your school until after the deadline has closed. If you order after the batch shipping deadline delivery fees will occur for your order to be sent directly to you, your order will be processed in 5-7 business days and is sent 2nd class by Royal Mail.

Delivery time may also vary depending on the type of products ordered. For example larger prints/ canvases take longer to process.
