My goal is to have your gallery delivered within 48 hours after the event. I know how important it is to relive those moments while they’re still fresh, so I prioritize a fast turnaround without compromising on quality.
Will My Photos Be Edited?
Yes. To give you the best images possible, all photos from your event will go through a process called global editing. This includes adjustments to exposure, white balance, black point, and other essential elements to make sure each image reflects the atmosphere of your event. These global edits are the standard enhancements applied to every photo you’ll receive.
While global edits enhance your images considerably, you may want additional pixel-based edits like object removal, blemish removal or teeth whitening. These detailed edits are not included in the standard service but can be arranged for an additional fee.

Your photos will be delivered as JPEGs via a Google Drive link. All images are optimized for web and mobile viewing at 2000px on the longest side, in the sRGB color space. If you’d like high res files or large format prints, those can be purchased after your event at the prices listed here.
