01
Photographers with large galleries
The more frames a wedding produces, the longer the first pass takes. You pay per input image, so the cost is easy to estimate from your own count.
Image Selection
Wedding Photo Culling Service
Send the full set, tell us how many images you want to deliver, and we select the best shots of the day.
Who It Is For
For Photographers Who Would Rather Be Shooting
Culling decides what your clients finally see, and it takes time. Handing it over frees that time.
02
Photographers with a target in mind
Tell us how many final images you want to deliver and the selection works toward that number.
03
Photographers who want one workflow
Add culling to color grading in the same order instead of coordinating two services.
04
Photographers who plan by the numbers
The Editing Time Calculator includes culling at $0.04 per input image, so you can see the cost before you order.
How It Works
From a Full Set to the Best Shots
01
Decide your target
Pick the number of final images you want to deliver. Our culling guide suggests 500-700 for a full-day wedding, though you know your clients best.
02
Send your photos
Prepare a Lightroom Classic catalog with Smart Previews, compress it and upload it on the Send Your Photos page.
03
Specify the count in the order comments
Write your target final image count in the order comments. We conduct the selection so your clients receive the best shots of the day.
04
Add editing if you like
Combine culling with color grading ($0.20 per image), cropping or retouching in the same order. Standard turnaround is 5-7 business days.
Before and After
Drag the Slider to Compare
Culling has no before and after of its own. These are color grading examples of the kind of editing you can add after selection. See more on the Samples page.
