Proofing sites

Yes. Don't proof online.
The most effective way to proof is in person.

What if it was a destination wedding and the person lives in the other coast?

Even if the person lives in the same city, sometimes in person proofing does not work out.
I know that in person proofing has been shown to bring higher sales, but sometimes, like now when I'm not really doing my photography for sales, but more for experience, in person proofing is not really economical.

Also, people like their distant relatives to be able to see the photos as well, and I've had people in other states order from my zenfolio proofing page...

beside you want to give them time. they're not going to want to make up their mind going through 600 pictures while sitting next to them. they might feel pressured to do it quickly vs taking their time for hours and days to pick what they truly want printed.
