Step-by-Step: Exactly What To Do
Open Your ShootProof Gallery
Use the gallery link from our email. If you can’t find it, tell us and we’ll re-share it.
Browse Your Photos (Take Your Time)
There are usually thousands of images. That’s normal — and it can feel like a lot. No rush at all.
Heart / Favorite the Photos You Want Edited
Click the Heart (or Favorite) icon on any photo you want us to edit. Try to select 50–100 favorites.
Optional: Download if Anything Looks Soft/Out of Focus
Gallery previews are often compressed so you don’t have to download enormous files. If something looks soft, try downloading the image to view it clearly.
When You’re Done, Let Us Know
Once your favorites are picked, message us and we’ll begin editing your selected images.
Important Reminders & Pricing
Please do not share unedited photos
Unedited images (RAW previews) are not a good representation of the final product. For this reason, we also cannot release unedited photos without watermarking.
Want more than the extra 100 photos edited?
Absolutely — additional edits beyond the extra 100 are $1 per photo.
FAQ (Technical Stuff — Optional)
Why do my unedited photos look really dark or really bright?
We shoot in RAW, which preserves a ton of detail in highlights and shadows. On bright days we may intentionally shoot darker to protect the sky and the dress. Editing is where the image becomes the final polished look.
OMG… why are there SO MANY photos?
Great photos require many things to go right: lighting, blinking, expressions, focus, flashes firing, and people looking in the right direction. We shoot plenty so we can deliver the best moments.
Why are there photos of the floor / wall / ceiling?
Usually those are test shots while checking flash power, bounce angles, or making sure a flash fired.
Why are some photos out of focus?
Cameras are computers and sometimes they miss focus — especially in low light (like receptions), with fast movement, or when the camera grabs the wrong focal point.
Okay, but ALL of them look out of focus?
Try downloading instead of viewing in the gallery. Gallery previews are often heavily compressed so you’re not downloading 100+ GB. Downloads will look much sharper.
Are these ALL the photos?
These are all the photos we took except the ones we’ve already selected, edited, and delivered — so you don’t accidentally pick duplicates. Any selections you favorite here will be new.
