A few days ago, I found myself among a group of wedding photographers discussing how far behind they are with their editing. Answers varied, as did attitudes. Some felt they were only eight weeks behind, which was fine. Other photographers seemed anxious, with 17 or 18 weddings in a backlog lasting months. When it was my turn, I gulped. I said: “Two weeks. The wedding I’m delivering today was shot two weeks ago”.

This helpful video tutorial will show you everything you need to know to make sure you get the best possible results every time.
