Think through wedding editor rates with your own numbers.
Editor rates only mean something once you attach them to your scope and your volume. Instead of chasing a market number, use the calculator to estimate cost from the work your weddings actually require.
Estimate it with the calculator
All fields estimate-onlyWhy a single rate number misleads
A rate quoted per image, per hour, or per wedding can look cheap or expensive depending entirely on what is included. Culling, first pass color, retouching, and album prep are very different scopes, and they rarely come bundled the same way twice.
Rather than treat any figure as a benchmark, the calculator lets you plug in the rate you are considering and see what it implies across a real wedding and a real season.
Scope is the variable that moves everything
Before comparing any rate, get specific about what the editor is doing. The same headline price covers wildly different amounts of work.
- Cull only, or cull plus edit
- First pass versus fully finished delivery
- Retouching and skin work expectations
- Turnaround and revision rounds included
From rate to real cost
Once scope is clear, multiply by volume. A rate that feels manageable for one wedding can change character across a full calendar, which is exactly where the calculator helps.
You stay in control of every input. The tool just turns your assumptions into an estimate you can examine.
