Great to hear you're already thinking about this. For us, you'll have a sneak peek of around 20 to 30 fully edited images within about 48 hours, so you've got something to share while the day is still fresh and everyone's still buzzing. Your full gallery then lands within 4 to 6 weeks. It's worth knowing why that window exists, because turnaround can feel slow when you're itching to see everything. A single wedding day is often 600 to 800 finished images, and every one of those is hand edited by us in-house here in Queensland, never sent offshore or batch processed by someone who wasn't there. That means the soft afternoon light at your ceremony and the warmer tones once the dancing kicks in all get treated properly, so the gallery actually looks like your day felt. One thing I'd gently flag: be a little wary of anyone promising the full lot in a few days. Fast can be lovely, but it usually means lighter editing, and your wedding photos are something you'll be looking at for decades. A few extra weeks for work that's done with real care is worth it. My honest tip when comparing photographers is to ask each one for their exact turnaround in writing, plus whether sneak peeks are included, so it's all in your contract and there are no surprises later. Most of us land in that 4 to 6 week range for very good reason.

Hello,  Thank you for reaching out! I love that you’re already thinking ahead about your wedding photographs, it really is one of the best parts once the day is done. Here’s how my delivery process works: <ul data-start="456" data-end="942"> <li data-start="456" data-end="658">Within the first week, you’ll receive a small sneak peek collection of favourite moments (if you’ve signed the model release in my Wedding Agreement). It’s a lovely way to relive the day right away.</li> <li data-start="659" data-end="942">Your full storytelling gallery is then delivered within 10–12 weeks. This time allows me to carefully curate, edit & colour grade every image so that each one feels like a piece of art. While the agreement states 10–12 weeks, I often deliver sooner once everything is perfect. </li> </ul> If you have any other questions, I’d love to hear more about your plans! Thanks,  Dave
