What Happens After the Wedding – Photo Editing Explained

Ever wondered what happens to your wedding photos after the confetti settles? Here's a peek behind the scenes.

The vows have been exchanged, the cake has been cut, and you've danced the night away. But while your big day may be over, our work is just getting started. A lot goes on between shooting your wedding and delivering the final gallery and we're excited to take you behind the scenes.

📥 Backup & Sorting: First Things First

Before anything else, we back up all your photos. Multiple times. In both physical hard disks and online storage.

Your wedding day is one of the most important moments in your life, and we treat the files with the same care. Once everything’s safely stored on multiple drives, we go through thousands of raw images — yes, thousands — and start shortlisting.

We pick out the best moments — the laughs, the hugs, the stolen glances — while removing duplicates, blinks, and test shots. This is called culling, and it's a huge part of making sure your final gallery feels intentional and beautiful.

🎨 Editing Begins: Bringing the Magic to Life

Once we’ve shortlisted your images, editing begins. Every photo you receive is edited one by one — no bulk filters or mass processing here.

Our editing includes:

• Colour correction: to match our signature golden, natural tones

• Light and contrast tweaks: to make sure every image pops

• Cropping & straightening: for clean, balanced framing

• Skin tone adjustment: to keep things natural and flattering

• Minor touch-ups: for distracting background elements or flyaway hairs

  
  

We don’t go overboard — we want you to still look like you, just in the best light possible.

📸 Curating the Gallery

Once editing is done, we prepare your full gallery, beautifully arranged and complete with all your final images.We don’t separate them by folders or pick out just a “highlight” selection. Instead, you’ll get every meaningful moment in one continuous visual story, just the way it unfolded on your wedding day.

📤 Delivery Timeline & Optional Express

Our usual delivery timeline is 2 to 3 months. This gives us the time we need to do justice to your memories.

We don’t offer sneak peeks, but if you’re eager to receive your photos earlier, we do offer an express editing option at a small surcharge. Just let us know if you’re interested when booking!

🧡 Why It Takes Time

Every gallery goes through multiple layers of checks, edits, and fine-tuning. We’re perfectionists when it comes to colour, consistency, and mood.

And here’s the best part, we don’t hold back on the number of photos. Even if we go beyond the estimate on your package, we’ll include all the good ones. We don’t want you to miss a single memory, and we believe your moments deserve to be kept.

Final Thoughts

Your wedding may be one day, but the photos last a lifetime. And after your celebration ends, we’re working hard behind the scenes to make sure every image is something you’ll treasure forever.
