After the Wedding

One of the giant differences between wedding photographers is the amount of editing.  I have seen no editing just a disc, or light editing, and then some charge as much as $40 dollars per picture for full editing of the photographs.  Needless to say you will need to know what you are purchasing.  Certainly you can take hundreds of pictures during a wedding or event.  And it is not cost effective to completely edit all the pictures. However you should have some indication of the number of pictures that will be fully edited for the price of your package. Editing will require color correction, to as involved in changing eyes, or  faces, removing obstacles in the pictures, repairing blemishes etc.  So as you consider a photographer for any services, ask how many pictures will be fully edited for the fees, or is that an extra fee and if so how much.   As a professional photographer I like to give my clients a clear price, so they have no surprises.  I may lose some potential clients because my initial price may seem larger than others, who do little or no editing of  the pictures.  On the other hand I don't lose any friends by surprising them with hidden fees.
