How long before I receive my pictures?

Medium resolution photos can be downloaded once payment has been made.

High resolution photos take approximately 2-3 weeks depending on volume.

Can I purchase prints?

Unfortunately, due to the decrease of clients ordering prints, we have ceased our in-house printing and only offer digital downloads.

If you want prints, we can recommend Photoking https://www.photoking.com/ Officeworks also do quality prints using Fuji printers for as little as 40c for a 5×7″ Officeworks

How can I pay?
We accept Visa and Mastercard via our secure server. You can pay by bank transfer and Paypal. Additionally you can also post us cheques or money orders with your order. Please make cheques payable to Philippe Penel Photography.
Can I download the digital files I ordered straight away?
If the photos were taken during a photo day or dress rehearsal they are already processed and you can download them straight away once your payment has been received by logging in to your account.

If the photos were taken during a concert they have to be processed individually to correct, the lighting, colour balance etc when they are ordered, so you can’t download them straight away. You will receive an email with a link to download them about 2-3 weeks after receiving your payment.
