Three Ways Editing Is Priced
The same work can look cheap or expensive depending purely on how it is billed. Comparing prices means comparing models first.
Per image
You pay a fixed rate for each photo edited.
Cheaper for irregular work and small batches, where you would not use up a package.
Per package
A flat fee covers a gallery up to a set image count.
Best value once a single job passes roughly 300–400 images — the effective per-image rate drops sharply.
Monthly retainer
A dedicated editor works to your style for an agreed monthly fee.
Breaks even against per-image pricing at steady high volume, and buys consistency plus reserved capacity in peak season.
A Worked Example
A full-day wedding: 700 delivered images, two-day turnaround, plus a 40-page album.
700 images colour corrected @ $0.12$84.00
40-page album design @ $0.90 / page$36.00
Total$120.00
Skin retouching is quoted separately. Booking multiple weddings as a season block lowers the per-image rate, and a gallery package (from $45 for up to 500 images) is cheaper than per-image pricing at this volume.
What Moves the Price Up or Down
- Gallery size
- Per-image rates fall as volume rises. A 300-image gallery is priced differently from 3,000 images across a season.
- Turnaround
- Standard delivery is 1–2 days. Same-day or next-morning delivery in peak season carries a rush premium.
- Editing depth
- Colour correction is the base rate. Skin retouching, object removal and full album design are priced separately.
- RAW vs JPEG
- RAW files give an editor more latitude and generally produce a better result at the same price; large RAW volumes affect transfer time, not cost.
- Style matching
- The first gallery includes calibration to your look. Once a style guide exists, later galleries need fewer revision rounds.
- Revision rounds
- One round is normally included. Repeated rounds on the same gallery usually signal the style guide needs updating rather than the edit.
What's Included in Wedding Editing?
- Colour correction & grading. Consistent tone and mood across the full gallery.
- Exposure & white balance. Fixes for mixed venue lighting.
- Straightening & cropping. Clean, consistent framing.
- Style matching. A dedicated editor learns and applies your signature look.
- Add-ons. Skin retouching and album design are available on request.
