Edit some photos with me and let’s talk turnaround times!

Lead times on full collection delivery can be anywhere from 10 to 12 weeks for most professional wedding photographers..
The reasons why I might surprise you, and it’s true that it doesn’t take us 12 weeks to edit your photos.
During high season, we shoot as many as one to three weddings a week, and sneak peek preview galleries are promised to be delivered within one week of your wedding date.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
During the week that follows your wedding (and sometimes 1 or 2 others), we upload and back up thousands and thousands of photos. Then we sift through and hand select anywhere from 50 to 100 photos to edit and send you for sneak peaks before we recharge/organize our gear to get prepared for the following wedding weekend.
(aka: little or no personal/family time 😆)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This leaves us little to zero time to actually edit full collections during wedding season so full galleries take a backseat until the season ends.
Once things slow down, we revisit the weddings in order from the beginning of season to the end as we dive into individually editing 600 to 1000 photos per gallery.
We ALWAYS prioritize a timely turnaround as best we can - and we always edit galleries in order of the queue, regardless of weddings sizes.
Our job doesn’t end after the wedding - it only begins!
So on behalf of all professional photographers, thank you for your patience as we edit your photos and deliver the highest standard of photos possible to you in a humanly manageable timeframe! It’s truly the fun, artistic part of our job and the time spent is what makes it magic when it reaches your inbox! ✨
