all about

FULL-SERVICE
PHOTO  EDITING

This is an all-inclusive experience that takes outsourcing to the next level. From culling to sneak peeks to editing, I'll handle it all. The best part? No anchors are required for this service. You'll show me your style during my onboarding process, and then I'll take it from there.

Choose this service if:
- You need an editor who can work without anchor images
- You want to spend as little time in Lightroom as possible
- You're hoping to save 8-12 hours per wedding

WHAT'S INCLUDED:

Let's break it down

Send your entire catalog to me. I'll cull the images, curating a gallery that beautifully represents your style and brand. You'll explain your culling philosophy and criteria during onboarding. When you send each catalog, you can request a target image range or simply leave it to my discretion.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT: 
There's nothing like the human eye. Unlike AI culling software, I recognize and implement the roles that story, emotion, uniqueness, and style all play into the curation of a gallery. 

After culling through your catalog, I'll sort your images into collections in Lightroom. You can request specific collection names or allow me to choose (i.e. Details, Getting Ready, Ceremony, Portraits, etc). I'll also synchronize timestamps between your lead camera and additional cameras.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT: 
Sorting your images into collections keeps your gallery organized and easy to navigate. It also allows you to export your images into specific folders for your clients, elevating their gallery and overall experience.

I'll deliver 5-10 beautifully edited images to your email just two or three days after you send me your catalog. You'll be able to import them into your catalog so that you can review and tweak if needed, then export your sneak peeks for your couple. 

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT: 
Just another way to "wow" your clients and market your brand. Post their sneak peeks quickly after the wedding - without needing to spend any time in the Develop Module.

I'll apply Lightroom adjustments to every image until the entire catalog represents your signature style. This includes white balance, tone curve, color grading, and more. Each image will be carefully reviewed and adjusted. The goal is for the edits to be indistinguishable from your own.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT: 
No anchors required. Need I say more? You'll receive high-quality edits and gain back hours of time that you would have otherwise spent in Lightroom - without compromising quality or style. 

If your editing style involves the use of local adjustments (i.e. brush, radial filter, A.I. mask, etc), I will make sure to apply them to your images as needed. This service includes up to 25 unique local adjustment masks, and an unlimited amount of masks that can be synced from those baselines. (Custom proposals available if more local adjustments are needed.)

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT: 
Local adjustments take your gallery to the next level. If your style involves brightening backgrounds or making subjects pop, I can make it happen.

Each image will be cropped to achieve a pleasing composition and straightened to produce even horizon lines.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT: 
Cropping and straightening are the understated foundation of beautiful image composition. But they are tools that can start to feel tedious when you're working with tens of thousands of images a year. Allow me to handle this not-so-fun (yet immensely vital) part of your catalog.

I'll suggest images for your blog post by marking them with 5 stars in Lightroom. My criteria for selecting 5-starred images involves choosing images that: reflect your brand, attract your ideal clients, tell the story of the wedding day, and encapsulate an aesthetic that is high-end and editorial.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT: 
No more over-thinking your blog images. I can curate a beautiful selection of blog images for you, so that you can reach your dream clients by showcasing your best work and boosting your SEO.

YOUR BURNING QUESTION

HOW WILL YOU
MATCH MY STYLE
                 ANCHORS? 

But they are not the only way. I've developed an onboarding process that will allow you to communicate your editing style to me in a very detailed way on the front end. You'll do a tiny bit of "homework" during onboarding to show me your style, but then I'll take it from there. I'll review your style questionnaire, study your galleries, and rely on your feedback in order to gain a clear understanding of your unique style and to edit your catalogs without needing anchor images.

It's true that anchor images have been the industry standard in the private editing world for a while now now - and for good reason. They are a great way for photographers to communicate their style efficiently and clearly.

Frequently asked questions

WHAT IS YOUR TURNAROUND TIME?

For full-service catalogs, I work with custom turnaround times that vary based on your scheduling needs. But on average, I deliver full-service catalogs within 10-12 business days.

HOW do you style-match without anchors?

You'll do a bit of homework during on-boarding, involving a Style Consult Questionnaire, anchor images, and past galleries. I'll study these resources very closely and touch base with you often.

what is the difference between basic editing and full-service?

My Basic Editing service requires the photographer to provide anchors for 5-10% of each catalog. And it does not include sneak peeks, collection sorting, timestamp syncing, or 5-starring.

HOW WILL WE TRANSFER CATALOGS?

You will have free access to my file sharing link located on your client dashboard. No Dropbox subscription required!

CAN WE DO A TRIAL RUN FIRST?

Full-Service editing is a highly specialized service that is available by application only and is fine-tuned to each individual photographer, so I am not able to offer trial runs for Full-Service catalogs.

is it okay if i edit a few of my own sneak peeks and blog images first?

Of course! Edit as many as you'd like. (This will cut your costs!) The beauty of the full-service package is that you don't need to worry about an anchor requirement for the entire catalog - just edit a few favorites if you'd like.
