My thoughts on how many photos to deliver as a wedding photographer. Day 26 of the course! On to editing tomorrow. I know I lied in yesterdays video and said today was on to editing, but I figured this was an important topic to cover first.
Where I keep all my business videos (pricing/email scripts):
Full Free 30 Day Course:
My full length courses:
but how many of those do you indepth edit?
You're the best Tay!
300 max for me lol
This was so helpful thank you.
gotta love the dry sense of humor lol
😎❤️🇨🇦 Do you have to get your shutter replaced. I've had to on my D750.
A good number. I shoot around 1500-2000 on a wedding and deliver 400-600 depending. My 2nd shooter shoots around 1000 when we work together so the delivered number moves a little.
I know people who shoot 8000-15000 images or more which frankly is ridiculous.
How do you deliver images to your clients? If they print your already edited files do you tell them to print the raw files or jpgs?
I've got to laugh: When I began in photographyin the 1980's including Weddings, the norm was 12 – 24 – 36 or 48 shots! This was based on 12 exposure film lengths! Usually depending on how much the couple could afford, or how much interuption would be tolerated? Occasionally we would be asked to complet 60 shots, but this would require an assistant to be working away from the main Photographer! Of course each shot was unique and usuable in the Album if selected, and not just backups! Most Churches did not allow the Wedding ceremony be interupted, and only before and after shots were tollerated! Catholic Churches DID allow more freedom of movement, but not too much! S.

👍🏻 Great
Do you have price packages? If yes (or no xD) can you talk about it a bit?
Sony's Canadian pro support does still need some work. I'm currently in a mess of trying to get a lens fixed by them. It's with them for repairs for a third time now, because they have yet to actually fix it. They've sent me a loaner one of those times, and are currently sending me another loaner for this coming weekend. The first time I sent it in, they sent me the wrong shipping label the first time. So I had to race back to the depot before it got on a plane for the wrong city. The second time I sent it in, the shipping label they sent me was wrong the first, second, and third times. I've probably spent at least 8 hours dealing with this one repair thus far. Ugh.
I'm very excited for the haircut.
What lence should I get I m a beginner I can only buy a budget lence in which I can do most of my work 🙂 thank you 🙂
Do u edit all 700 images?
How many albums do u give & images?
Omg 700 photos delivered! Thats nuts! I aim for quality not quantity. I aim for 250, more then 300 would confuse clients in my opinion.
so you take the photos and then you send them instead you edit yourself ?
wao.. ok
I dont think a full wedding edit… is boring… maybe a livestream or timelapse?
Thanks for this! I deliver in your range and people always tell me it's too much. So now I feel better. Lol. I did a vow renewal a few weeks ago for 5 hours and delivered 550 & on a photography group on FB I got so much shit. Lol. I feel like I need to tell the story and it's their story not mine, so why keep great images away from them? That's my motto. Their memories not mine. So thanks for making me feel better! PS, so glad you're getting a haircut. 😂
I think it really depends on your photography style. Some shoot proper journalism where you should deliver 600+ photos to tell an emotional and deep story. Some people are making 1-2 stunning OMG nice photos in 1 location and move forward to make couple more 1-2 omg photos. In this case, you can deliver 200+ photos. Anyways guys, stay with your style and listen to your self at the end of the day it is YOUR photography and your style 😉
i average about 500 ..2 photographers with a 10 hour day ..and about 2500pics total ..pretty much like you .thanks for giving me an answer on it .
good morning!!!!
Who does the editing for you
I must be an anomaly. The people I have shot weddings for are exceedingly happy with the 200-250 I deliver. They've said they like not having to deal going through too many images.
how much do you take for a wedding?
TENTREEEEEE
I do average 600 to 800 pics for wedding
How much do you paid for outside Editing? Do you paid per image or bulk? also is worth having an outsider edit your images.
I love photography and would love to expand my knowledge in the photography world. I love watching your videos to get tips. Thank you!
Now, that was interesting 👍☺️
When you say you deliver your images to you editor what does this mean?
Do you shoot in RAW or JPG?
How much does that editor earn for editing those 500-900 photos
Ok…. Don't feel so bad now delivering average 600-900 images!
Still wanna see these edits!! x
Can you do a video on making your own tilt shift lens like the one on the 810?
I feel much better knowing youre getting a haircut tomorrow
