Wedding Photography Culling Guide
A typical wedding shoot produces 3,000-5,000 photos while the final delivery is usually 300-500 images.
The 10:1 Rule
Most wedding photographers deliver roughly one photo for every ten captured.
AI-Assisted Wedding Culling
- Eyes closed detection to deprioritize weak frames.
- Motion blur detection for camera shake and subject motion.
- Exposure issue detection for fast-changing lighting.
- Duplicate grouping to keep the sharpest burst frame.
Recommended Workflow
- Upload ceremony photos in batch one.
- Upload reception photos in batch two.
- Upload portraits and details in batch three.
- Review S-tier and A-tier picks from each batch.
- Export and move into final editing.
With batch processing, full wedding culling can be reduced to minutes.
