“When will my photos be ready?” We get it - you’re itching to see them. The short version: most couples have their digital files within a month of the wedding, and their printed album within four months. Those are cautious estimates, and it’s usually quicker. Here’s what’s actually going on behind the scenes.
Once your wedding’s over, this is what happens next:
- We retouch your photos. This is hands-on work, not a button we click. It can take anywhere from a couple of weeks when things are quiet to about a month at the height of wedding season. We know that’s a wait, but trust us - it’s worth it. As soon as they’re ready, we put them in a private online gallery so you can look, share and download straight away.
- We edit your video (if you booked one). Once the photos are out, we get to work on your film. Depending on the package you chose, that’s usually one to two weeks, and it lands in your gallery alongside the photos.
- We sort out your album (if you ordered one). We’ll ask about your preferences, take the final payment, and send you a design to approve. How long this bit takes is really down to you - reply quickly and it flies by; take your time and the album simply arrives a bit later.
- We send the album to print (if you ordered one). Once you’ve signed off the design, it goes to the print lab. Your album is made by hand and shipped from abroad, so between manufacture and postage it can take up to two months.
