Professional Wedding Photographers of Canada – Feature

Featured on Professional Wedding Photographers of Canada Website

We are professional wedding photographers. Each year without fail we receive a handful of inquiries asking if couples can have a discount on our services. Usually this request for a discount comes with a pitch – “You won’t have to edit the pictures; you can just give me all the RAW files.” My short answer is always “No, you can’t have unedited files.” That said, I want potential clients to understand why. One of the most important things we can do as consumers is to be educated about what we’re shopping for.

Skipping the editing might seem like a fair trade from a distance. Editing takes up around 50-60% of my work day, so having 60% of my time back to drink coffee and walk my dog, or dig in the garden is pretty much my dream. The truth is professional photographs don’t come out of the camera ready to print. So what do I spend my editing time doing exactly?
