Why we take 26 weddings a year

2 min

Both of us at every wedding means saying no to most Saturdays. Here’s the arithmetic.

We could photograph a wedding every Saturday from May to October. We don’t, because both of us come to every one, and each gallery takes about forty hours to edit.

Twenty-six weddings means one most weekends in season and time in the week to deliver the first 40 photos in 48 hours.

Where the forty hours go

About ten go on choosing: 3,000 frames down to 700. Twenty go on colour, one scene at a time, so the light stays true across the day. The rest is the order, the album selection and a last look on a phone, because that’s where most people see them first.

What it means for you

Your date is never one of three that weekend. And the people who photographed your wedding are the people who edit it.
