First of all, thank you!

Hello to all my wonderful couples!

First of all - thank you. Thank you for trusting me to capture such an important and beautiful chapter in your lives. It means the world to me to be a part of your wedding day, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly.

As my business sometimes includes both photography and videography, the editing workload can be a little heavier than for photographers who focus solely on one. Each wedding is carefully edited by me - nothing is outsourced - because I want to ensure that every image and every clip reflects the exact style and feel that you chose when you booked me.

Below, you’ll notice that progress is a little further along on some photography-only weddings. That’s simply because photo editing is generally quicker, and I often work on images during the evenings. Video editing, by nature, takes a bit more time and focus. That said, I promise each film and photo gallery receives the same love, care, and attention to detail.

Here’s a quick look at the workflow so you can see where your project might be in the process:

PHOTOGRAPHY WORKFLOW

1. Photograph your wedding and back up all images the same day I get home.
2. Cull the gallery - removing images with closed eyes, missed focus, or just not up to standard.
3. My wife then reviews the culled gallery and flags any photos needing extra Photoshop attention (e.g., removing exit signs, dress marks, or even the occasional cat litter tray!).
4. Apply my custom preset to begin the editing process.
5. Crop and fine-tune each image - usually just minor tweaks like straightening lines or enhancing composition.
6. Export all images and back them up.
7. Upload your gallery online.
8. Send you the link via email so you can relax with a takeaway, pop some champagne, and relive your big day!

VIDEOGRAPHY WORKFLOW

1. Film your wedding and back up all footage the same day.
2. Cull the footage - removing clips with unnecessary movement or moments that don’t add to your story.
3. Edit the ceremony and speeches, syncing them with professional audio.
4. Begin crafting your highlight films - this is the most time-consuming step and requires full focus, so I take my time to get into the flow and do it justice.
5. Apply my cinematic LUT (similar to a photo filter) for that signature film look.
6. Export and back up your videos.
7. Upload to your online gallery.
8. Send you the link so you too can enjoy your takeaway, champagne, and cinematic wedding memories.

Thank you again for your patience - it truly means so much. I’m working through the list as quickly (and carefully) as possible, and you’ll see it getting shorter and shorter over the coming weeks.
