How to Edit and Export Photos from Lightroom for Wedding Sneak Peek Delivery
Fantastic video! Nice and concise.
I have done exactly this and have some harsh highlights on their faces and slightly darker eyes. Any tips for handling this in post processing?
Thanks for sharing this, it's very helpful! Where do you get your flatlay mats?
How long does it take you to do all these things. I feel like this is where the time just goes so quickly on a wedding day. I'd be curious to know how much time you set aside for the details. Thanks!
Here is a big chunk of whats in my contract, what do you think? The client(s) understand that due to the artistic nature of this photography service, that there is no guarantee that the client(s) will find 100% of the photographs artistically pleasing, which in such case will not entitle the client(s) to any discounts or refunds. The photographer will to the best of his ability deliver photographs that will be in his own judgment artistically pleasing. The client(s) understand that factors outside of the photographer’s control may occur that can affect the artistic look of the photographs such as weather conditions, time of day, event location, event rules, event lighting, participation of the subjects of photographs, and amount of time given to the photographer. The client(s) understand that there is no promised specific amount of finished photographs as the final quantity varies based on the length of time of the event and number of guests. For example a 2 hour event could yield 90 photographs and a 12 hour event could yield 540 however the amount could be higher or lower. The client(s) understand that no digital raw files (unedited photographs) are released, and only edited photographs that the photographer has judged worthy of being been seen are released.
Where do you find the people you hire? Is there a specific platform for freelancers?
What part of the Carolinas , I’m here in Greenville
It would be cool if you made a video about the types of backgrounds and what aperture to shoot at and so on.
Good job on this video. Lots to this program. I'm looking to sign up and familiarize myself with it.
i just get mine, they are very beautiful
Discount know longer available in honey book 📕 tried it! Still worth the purchase tho!
Really wish they still had this timeline feature- I'm struggling on how to create a timeline like the one you did here.
whats an eye reveal ?
An aisle reveal :) It's the traditional reveal when the couple doesn't see each other before the ceremony, and instead see each other for the first time down the aisle.
Great tip thanks!
Thanks so much for this! Would you be able to make a video about the brochure and way you send the questionnaire to your clients with each option?
how do you invoice this? do you include all upfront in the deposit? Divide it within the 50%? Or invoice this separately a month before the wedding?
Where do you find one ?
I would to see how you export the different folder
How to make cover album in pixellu ?
This video was so helpful! Love it! Thanks for all the info and details 😊✨
🔥🙌🏼
Do you use natural lighting for flat lays?
I almost did the sending PDF system!
I think you are the ONLY one who mentioned the 2 locations for reception and ceremony addresses. OF COURSE 🤦🏾♀️ it maybe common knowledge but it’s an easy to looked passed detail! Thank you for the reminder. ❤
Where do you find editors to outsource to?
I'm a wedding cinematographer and your points are very helpful for my contact form.
Is this organization before or after you have edited all these photos?
This vid is about how to disrbute content, not about how to create educational content e.g. topics,
Would website SEO work better if you just used a blog within your website builder rather than through pictime?
I don't know if it would work better or the same. I just found that I wasn't blogging because of the extra steps it took to upload all the photos to my blog vs just having that step already done in Pic-time. Just seemed more efficient for me 👍
Love your work, you are gorgeous
Thank you so much!
What lens do you use for flat lays?
My 50mm and my 105mm macro
Thank you 🙏🏾
You are so welcome
Thanks.
Welcome!
Very useful information. Thank you very much. Does the size of the wedding/bridal party/guest list, etc factor in to cost in any way?
It doesn't for me since they generally don't know exact numbers when they are booking me. When we do their timeline call 4 months before their wedding and if we feel like we need more time for photos, then we discussing adding coverage then.
The moment I saw Boris, I hit the thumbs up button. If Boris is in there, the video must be good.
awe! Love this!
your free download was incredibly helpful thank you so much!
Glad it helped!
Let's see if your video helps. So far honeybooks is the most confusing thing in the entire world. But it might just be me feeling overwhelmed.
Any new platform or program is definitely overwhelming at first! I hope my tutorial helps!
It's not just you! I'm completely confused, even after this video.
@@andymkarol6641 I managed to get the basics.
I cannot get enough of Mystrika is comprehensive analytics feature. Being able to track open rates, click-through rates, and reply rates has allowed me to refine my outreach strategies and improve my response rates. The A/B testing feature is also a huge plus, allowing me to experiment with different subject lines and content to optimize my campaigns. Mystrika truly takes the guesswork out of cold email.
Thank you for this amazing video! Question: I don’t feel safe posting my personal address on google business, is your full address visible when you create google business?
I used the full address when I initially registered, but then hide it after it got approved.
One of the best videos on the topic! Thank you Hillary!
I'm so glad!
Where do u get these amazing boards?!
I'm glad you like them! All the links are in the desciption
Can those smart fields be auto populated?
yes! They should auto populate already.
This is very useful! Now is there a way to copy the photos into my Lightroom Classic folder from collections?
I'm not sure what you mean by that. Shoot me an email and I can try to help- hello@hillarymuelleck.com

Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
You're welcome!
Hey Hillary! Super helpful video! Would you please send me a copy of what your wedding planning guide looks like?
I used the Davey and Krista template- wedding.daveyandkrista.com/
Thanks for the information shared. What I liked most about this video is it’s uncut 😊… such a great reminder for someone struggling with perfection. Thank you!
Im glad you liked it!
Don't say "muddy skin tones"...sounds racist...blacks and hispanics have "muddy" skin...instead, say "darkened skin", or "flat lit skin"...I know you did not have bad intentions, but be careful how you word things. :-). PS A hispanic, muddy faced person. :-)
Did Honeybook remove the timeline feature? If so, was is replaced by an alternative option?
They did remove and are replacing it with a smart file option hopefully in the near future!
Definitely a crazy story and very unprofessional of that coordinator. Hopefully she learns from it. One of the most bizarre wedding photography stories I have had, was that I was hired by another photographer to be a 2nd shooter for a wedding. We messaged back and forth and spoke on the phone to go over details. We confirmed I was supposed to arrive at the venue (ceremony site) at 2:00pm. The morning of, he calls me and says he actually wants me to be at the hotel for getting ready photos at 10am. It was a 90 minute drive for me to get to the venue to begin with, and I was not at all prepared for a last minute change of plans the morning of! We even had a contract with the start time etc. I manage to rush and get to the hotel, and the bride said "oh good, the photographer is finally here, so we can get some pictures." The "lead photographer" guy who contracted me was already there, so I thought that was strange.. he said hi etc, and told me he wanted me to get some photos of the bridesmaids. I started taking photos and then saw the "lead photographer" with a video camera going around and videoing. I figured he was probably just taking a clip, like hybrid shooting and then would step in as the lead photographer. We later drive to the ceremony site and I chat with him asking where he wants me for the ceremony, and he said "do whatever you usually do." Basically he lied and hired me under false pretenses as his 2nd shooter, without once mentioning I was actually the lead photographer and he was a videographer! I was paid as a 2nd shooter rather as a lead photographer as well. He also had initially said he would buy my card off me with the photos and he would do all the editing (I even had bought a new card just for that purpose). At the end of the night he said he wanted me to edit the photos and send them to him via drop box. I wouldn't have taken this gig if I knew I would have to edit it, since I was already too busy to take on another job that required editing. It was far from ideal to say the least!
Oh no! That sounds horrible. Why do people do things like that???
