Every gallery you receive from us is fully edited, never the raw files. The images you see on your wedding day are only the starting point. We take each frame through our editing process for colour, exposure, skin tones and that consistent look across the whole day, then deliver them as high resolution JPEGs ready to print or share.

One thing worth knowing: all of our editing is done in-house, by the same team who shot your wedding, never sent offshore or outsourced. That matters because the person who remembers the light at your ceremony and the mood of your reception is the one finishing the photos, so the final gallery actually feels like your day rather than a generic preset.

RAW files are the unfinished, unprocessed negatives, and most photographers, us included, won't hand them over for the same reason a chef doesn't send out raw ingredients. They're not representative of our work and they need professional software to even open. If having a say in the look matters to you, the best move is to scroll through a few full galleries from any photographer you're considering and check the colours and style feel consistent wedding to wedding. That tells you far more than any single highlight image.

Happy to talk you through how we deliver and roughly how long the turnaround is if that helps with your planning.

Hi, I don't hand out any RAW images as this is my name that is attached to my work. I will edit all selected photos. Hope this helps.

At A Day of Bliss Studios, I deliver nothing less than fully edited, high-resolution (top-quality) images — every single time. Your wedding day deserves to be captured in a way that feels incredible, so it’s super important that you absolutely fall in love with the photographer's style you choose. I always encourage couples to dive into a few full wedding galleries to really get a feel for how their day might be captured. Look for consistency in edits, rich colours, beautiful lighting, and that overall magic in the way the story is told.

Hi Brides!  All my images will be beautifully curated one by one, and you will receive all files edited.  I personally don't hand over my RAW files, and only deliver the beautiful end product to my clients.

I always and only ever deliver fulled edited high resolution ( Highest Quality ) Images. It's really super important that you LOVE the style of the photographer you pick. It might be helpful to take a good look through a few of their whole galleries of other weddings, to get a better sense of how your wedding images will end up looking. Look for things like consistancy with edits, colours, lighting, and overall style of how they've captured things.
