CUSTOM EDITING PACKAGES FOR WEDDING AND PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHERS

Some clients cap their budget and let us maximize what gets done. Others just want the work completed and let the time speak for itself. No image count estimates. No add-on fees. Just your budget and our time.

The experience doesn't change just because the pricing model does. You still get a dedicated Senior Editor who learns your style, a client portal for scheduling and communication, and the same long-term relationship we build with every client. Custom is about flexibility in pricing, not a compromise in quality.

If our other packages felt right but the pricing model didn't, you're in the right place. Whether you need a more flexible rate for your specific workflow or you're curious about how AI tools could stretch your budget further, this is where we meet you.

You set a budget per session, tell us what to prioritize, and your editor works within it. Whether that's culling, editing, a combination of both, or refining a gallery you've already run through AI, the work is shaped around what you actually need. 

Set your budget, set your priorities, and we work within them.

HOW CUSTOM PACKAGES WORK

How Our Clients Use This Package

How Our Clients Use This Package

These photographers needed something specific.
Here's how we showed up for them.

Portrait photographer

Cull + Edit within a set budget

She's a high-volume portrait photographer and her weekday calendar is fully booked. Each session lands around 80-90 images but she wants to deliver a more curated gallery of 50-60. The thing is, she's too close to the work to make those cuts herself. And she already felt like editing alone was pushing her budget, let alone adding culling on top of it.

HER WORKFLOW

She sets a max budget of $65 per session so she gets the most out of the service without going over what she's comfortable spending. Her dedicated editor culls the gallery down to 50-60 of the strongest images and then edits the full gallery including masks and object removal. There's no back and forth, no approval step. At this point her editor knows her style well enough to curate and edit the gallery with confidence and have it back in her hands within 5-7 business days. Most sessions come in under budget and some hit it depending on complexity, but she always knows the max she'll spend before the work begins.

Wedding photographer

Budget-first wedding editing with priorities

She shoots about 15 weddings a year and wanted to outsource her editing but had a firm budget of $200 per wedding. During our consult call we realized that fitting her into a per-image package would mean she'd need to do a significant amount of the editing herself on the front end just to make the numbers work. It would have added stress, not removed it.

HER WORKFLOW

Instead of making the math work backwards, we simplified it. She sends the fully culled gallery with her sneak peeks already in it and sets her budget at $200. Her editor prioritizes details, getting ready, ceremony, and portraits first. If there's time left in the budget, reception gets done too. If not, she finishes it when the gallery comes back in 10-12 business days.

HIGH VOLUME WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER 

AI as a starting point, human editor to finish

She's a high-volume luxury wedding and engagement photographer with large galleries that regularly land around 1,700 images. She runs everything through AI first to handle skin smoothing, teeth brightening, and exit sign removal. From there she sends about 5% of the gallery as anchors, the same images she used as sneak peeks.

HER WORKFLOW

Her editor goes through the gallery editing every image for consistency and making creative decisions for parts of the day that don't have anchors. As she edits, she tightens the gallery by removing images that are too similar and adds black and white virtual copies throughout. AI handles the time-intensive masking work across 1,700 images. Her editor handles the storytelling, the consistency, and the final quality that makes the gallery ready to deliver.

Our Approach

$0.85/min until the gallery is complete

Frequently Asked Q’s

How does per-minute billing work? +
Everything we do for your gallery is billed at $0.85 per minute. That includes culling, editing, AI refinement, masks, denoise, object removal, and black and white conversions. There are no separate add-on fees and no per-image calculations. Your editor tracks their time and you only pay for the minutes spent on your work.
Can I set a budget per session? +
Yes. You can set a max budget for each session and your editor will work within it, prioritizing whatever matters most to you. If your editor finishes before hitting the budget, you pay less. If the work hits your cap, your editor stops and sends back everything that's been completed. You always know the max you'll spend before the work begins. If you prefer not to set a budget and just want the gallery completed, that works too.
What can be included in a custom package? +
Culling, editing, AI refinement, or any combination. Some clients need us to cull and edit a portrait session within a set budget. Others send a gallery they've already run through AI and need a human editor to refine for consistency. Others want full editing with priorities on certain parts of the day. During your consultation call we'll talk through your specific workflow and build the package around what you actually need.
Do you use AI to edit my images? +
Only if you want us to. Some of our custom clients use AI as a starting point in their own workflow and send it to us for human refinement. Others want us to run their gallery through AI first and then edit on top of it. And some don't want AI involved at all. It's entirely up to you and we'll discuss your preferences during onboarding.
What if I use AI as part of my workflow? +
If you already use a tool like Imagen or Aftershoot, you can run your gallery through AI before sending it to us. Your editor will go through every image for consistency, make creative decisions, tighten the cull, and add black and whites if needed. You can also send us your AI profile and have us run the images through AI on your behalf before editing. We'll talk through the best approach for your workflow on your consultation call.
Do I need to provide anchor images? +
No. Anchor images are welcome and helpful if you have them, but they're not required for the Custom Package. If you don't provide anchors, your editor will send you sample edits from different parts of the session for approval before finishing the gallery. As trust builds over time, you can choose to skip the approval step and let your editor run with it.
Do you offer rush delivery and what does it cost? +
Yes. Standard turnaround is 10-12 business days for weddings and 5-7 business days for portraits. If you need a gallery back faster, rush delivery is available upon request and subject to your editor's availability. A 50% rush fee applies for 1-3 business day delivery and a 25% rush fee applies for 5-7 business day delivery. Rush fees are only added when you specifically request expedited turnaround. If your editor happens to finish ahead of schedule on their own, no rush fee is applied.
What software do you edit in? +
We work exclusively in Lightroom Classic. We do not edit in Photoshop, Lightroom Creative Cloud, Capture One, or any other software. If Lightroom Classic is part of your current workflow, we're a great fit. If you're working in a different editing platform, we wouldn't be the right fit at this time.
How do I send you my images? +
You don't need to worry about figuring this out on your own. We have a complete system in place with a step-by-step guide that walks you through exactly how to export and send your session to your editor. If you're not sure your Lightroom catalog is set up the right way or you've never worked with Smart Previews before, we'll walk you through it during onboarding. When you get your edited images back, you're not getting JPGs. You'll import our edits directly into your Lightroom catalog, which means you still have full control to tweak anything, add black and whites, apply denoise, or make any final adjustments before you deliver to your client.
Is there a contract or commitment? +
Yes, we work on an annual contract basis that runs January through December. We're looking for photographers who value a long-term relationship with their editor, not a one-off transaction. That said, we understand that life and business change. If it's not the right fit or your season shifts, we'll work with you to off-board thoughtfully and make sure the transition is smooth. We'll walk through the full terms together during your consultation call.

However, once I learned I could trust my editor and the outsourcing process was seamless, I was finally able to give more time to areas of life or business that I was dreaming about! Truly, outsourcing has only helped grow my business. I’ve never looked back ever since I took the step and let go of the reins!

My editor is amazing. She really pays attention to detail, she’s not afraid to ask questions, and she’s always so open to some constructive criticism. She doesn’t just care about your images and business, she cares about you personally. She has been a pure joy to know and work with every single year! I don’t know what I’d do without her! You all are rock stars! I wouldn’t change a thing!” 

"I get so many compliments on my photos, my process flows so well, and my editor is literally a wizard in Lightroom!
