The moment they realize they’ll love their wedding photos!
I never thought I’d be the photographer editing wedding photos DURING the wedding, but I’m loving how much my couples LOVE it! And here’s how I’m doing it:
When I’m taking photos during the day, I already mentally noting which photos would be good photos to quickly download and edit later. I usually pick 5-10 and it’s usually a couple of getting ready, portraits, wedding party, a ceremony shot, a reception detail, and a fun first dance or reception entrance photo.
During dinner I bring out my computer, pop in the memory card, and quickly download those photos. I try not to overthink it. Just a handful of fun photos to show the couple later in the night.
I drag them into Lightroom, throw on a preset and a few tweaks, then export and airdrop to my phone.
Is it a pain to bring my computer? yes. Do I get to relax during dinner? not much. Is it worth it? 100% yes!
Save this so that you can come back to it when you’re ready to wow your wedding clients!
