Wedding Bulk Editor - Culling "Par" System
The numbers mentioned are approximations and we should be notified if there are too few viable images. Our contracts specify “a few hundred“ images, so anything higher than 200 for a project is a win.
This session involves one photographer for two hours and is not a part of every project. Usually, the couple wants to use one of the portraits to create a signing board or guestbook. Organize the collection into folders (Look 1, Look 2, or Look 3 - if applicable) then remove any photos with technical issues (blurry, over/under exposed) or where they are posed in an unflattering way, blinking and making awkward faces. The minimum expectation is 200 usable images from the session, but try to keep as many images as you can. This is often shot in a controlled environment so the lighting is consistent and lends itself to simple bulk coloring
