Before anything else, I import and back up every image from your wedding day. From there, I hand-select approximately 50-100 photographs that tell a little bit of your story, including moments from throughout the day, portraits, and some of my favorite details. Think of it as a little highlight gallery to enjoy while I work on the rest.

On a wedding day, I may photograph upwards of 4,000–5,000 images! During culling, I carefully review every single frame, removing duplicates, test shots, and images that don't meet my standards. The goal isn't to leave anything important out, but to make sure your final gallery includes the strongest photographs of every meaningful moment.

All of the film from your wedding day is developed by hand in my own lab. Once developed, each negative is carefully scanned and prepared for editing alongside your digital photographs. It's a hands-on process that typically takes about a week, but it's one of my favorite parts of bringing your gallery together.

This is where everything really starts coming together! Over several weeks, I work through your photographs individually, refining exposure, color, skin tones, and the little details that make each image feel its best. It's much more involved than applying a preset. My goal is to create a beautiful, cohesive gallery that still feels honest to your day.

Once editing is complete, I step away for a couple of days before returning with fresh eyes. I review the entire gallery for consistency, make any final adjustments, and check that nothing was overlooked. Then I export, organize, and upload your photographs, making sure everything is ready to view and download.

Your gallery is officially ready! You'll receive a link to your complete online gallery, where you can view, download, and share your photographs. Your physical gallery box will also make its way to you, giving you something tangible to hold onto long after the wedding day.
