Compare your wedding photo editing options side by side.
There is no single right way to handle wedding editing: you can do it yourself, send it out, or lean on an AI-assisted first pass. Each has a different cost in money, time, and control. Enter your own numbers and the calculator helps you compare them honestly.
Estimate it with the calculator
All fields estimate-onlyThree common paths, three different tradeoffs
Editing in-house gives you full control but costs your own hours, which are easy to undervalue. Outsourcing trades money for time but adds coordination and revision rounds. An AI-assisted first pass aims to reduce manual first-pass work, leaving you to refine rather than start from zero.
None of these is automatically best. The right choice depends on your gallery sizes, your hourly value, your turnaround pressure, and how much hands-on control you want over the final look.
What to weigh when you compare
Cost is only one axis. A fair comparison looks at the whole picture.
- Your own per-image editing time and hourly rate
- Outsourcing rates plus revision and review overhead
- How much first-pass work an AI-assisted workflow could reduce
- Control over consistency, style, and final adjustments
