Exactly when you get your photos back varies depending on when you go through your proofs, my work load, and your package. But here are some examples of real weddings and when couples got their photos back. A wedding photo timeline is when you can expect to get proofs, pictures, and edited photos after your wedding.

My philosophy is that if I get pictures back before my next shoot, I can stay on top of the edits and keep up with life. So I work really hard to get pictures back to my couples as soon as possible. AND, I also remember my own wedding and how anxious I was to get my pictures back.

My philosophy of wedding photography includes the idea that pictures frame your memories of the day. That includes how quickly you get your photos back. It also includes things like stress level, your ability to connect with your new spouse, etc. I do everything I can to keep stress down and let you two enjoy your first few hours being married. I help a bit with posing and moving you two around, but I’m a huge advocate of authentic, natural expressions that come when you’re comfortable.
