Question 1

How do you match my wedding editing style?

Accepted Answer

Send a few weddings you have already edited yourself. Your colourist studies your tone curves, white balance, skin tones and Lightroom presets, writes them down as a style profile, and edits every gallery against it. Your first galleries include a one-on-one calibration, so colour and skin tones stay consistent wedding after wedding.

Question 2

What if the edit does not match my style?

Accepted Answer

Send it back. Revisions are free and unlimited until the look is right, and under our Colour-Match Promise you owe nothing if the first full gallery still does not look like your work.

Question 3

How does the free wedding photo editing trial work?

Accepted Answer

Send 30 RAW files from a past wedding plus 3–5 of your own finished edits as reference. Your colourist builds a style profile and edits all 30 frames to your white balance, tone, skin and grain, so you are judging style accuracy rather than a stock preset. They come back within 24 hours, with no card and no commitment.

Question 4

How do I send my wedding photos for editing?

Accepted Answer

Export Lightroom Smart Previews instead of full RAW files (typically 1–1.5GB for a 1,000-image wedding) and share them through Dropbox, Google Drive or WeTransfer. The finished edits sync straight back onto your originals.

Question 5

How fast is your wedding photo editing turnaround?

Accepted Answer

A preview set of 80–100 finished frames lands the next morning, within 24 hours of your upload, so couples can share while the day is fresh. The full gallery follows in 3–5 working days. Because several editors work one gallery to the same profile, a 2,000-image wedding comes back as fast as a 500-image one, even in peak season.

Question 6

Do you also offer wedding photo culling and retouching?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Culling narrows thousands of RAW files down to the strongest storytelling frames, checking focus, expression and light, for $0.05 per image, or $0.12 per image together with colour correction. Retouching covers skin, flyaway hair and distraction removal for your hero images and albums. Both can be added to any wedding.

Question 7

What is wedding photo colour correction?

Accepted Answer

It is the editing that makes a whole wedding look consistent and like your work: white balance, exposure, tone, skin, crop and straightening, set frame by frame to your own Lightroom style. It costs $0.25 per image, which is $25 for every 100 images.

Question 8

How does wedding photo culling work?

Accepted Answer

Send the full, unculled wedding. An editor goes through every frame, removes blinks, missed focus and near-duplicates, keeps the strongest frame from each burst and every key moment, and flags the keepers inside your Lightroom catalogue. Culling is $0.05 per RAW file and usually takes 2–3 working days.

Question 9

Can I combine culling and colour correction in one order?

Accepted Answer

Yes. With the Colour + Culling plan we cull the wedding to your target keeper count first, then colour correct only the keepers, so the gallery comes back finished. It is $0.12 per delivered image and includes a second-editor QC review and a faster 2–4 day turnaround.

Question 10

Is the editing done by AI or by people?

Accepted Answer

Every frame is edited by a person working to your style profile. AI only helps with subject masks and the first culling pass, and an editor reviews both. Sliders, skin tones and crops are always set by hand.

Question 11

What files do I need to send?

Accepted Answer

A Lightroom Smart Preview catalogue is fastest, about 1–2GB for a full wedding. You can also send full RAW folders from Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm or Leica through Dropbox, Google Drive or WeTransfer.

Question 12

Can I change the edits after delivery?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Edits come back inside your catalogue, not as flattened JPEGs, so every crop, mask, curve and slider stays live. Revisions are also free and unlimited: flag the frames with a colour label and send the catalogue back.

Question 13

How much does it cost to edit a wedding?

Accepted Answer

It depends on how many images you deliver. A 1,000-image wedding costs $250 for colour correction, or $120 with culling included, and a 500-image elopement costs $125. There are no packages or minimums, and we confirm the total in writing before we start.

Question 14

How is the price worked out?

Accepted Answer

You pay per image, with no packages to outgrow. Colour correction is $0.25 per delivered image, which is $25 for every 100 images. Culling is $0.05 per RAW file, and colour correction with culling together is $0.12 per delivered image. We confirm the total for each wedding in writing before we start.

Question 15

How does the free 30-frame trial work?

Accepted Answer

Send 30 RAW files from a past wedding along with 5–10 of your own finished JPEGs — or even a reference gallery or Instagram account whose look you want. We calibrate to your presets, tone curves and grain profile and return the frames within 24 hours, free, with no card held and no obligation.

Question 16

Are the prices fixed, and what currency are they in?

Accepted Answer

All prices are in USD and fixed. Colour correction is $0.25 per delivered image, RAW culling is $0.05 per file, colour correction with culling is $0.12 per delivered image, and advanced Photoshop retouching is $2.50 per hero frame. There are no monthly retainers, no lock-in contracts and no off-season minimums.

Question 17

Do I need to upload huge RAW galleries?

Accepted Answer

No. We work from Lightroom Classic Smart Previews, so a full wedding catalog travels as roughly 1.2 GB instead of 50–80 GB of RAW files and uploads in 6–8 minutes. Your master RAWs never leave your own drive.

Question 18

Is any of the editing done by AI?

Accepted Answer

No. Every frame is edited by a person working to your style profile, and your editor checks the whole gallery before it is returned; the Colour + Culling plan adds a second-editor review. We use AI only to assist the optional culling pass, and a person reviews those selections too.

Question 19

What if a delivered gallery needs fine-tuning?

Accepted Answer

Revisions are free and unlimited. Flag the frames with colour labels in the returned Lightroom catalog and send the catalog back — it is only a few megabytes. We recalibrate until it matches your standard.

Question 20

Can I get a gallery back faster than 3–5 days?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Colour + Culling plan already comes back in 2–4 working days. On any plan, a 48-hour priority turnaround is available for a flat $75 per gallery.

Question 21

Will I work with the same editor every time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once the trial locks in your style, you are paired with a dedicated lead editor who handles your galleries season after season, with a trained backup colorist so peak-season volume never causes style drift.
