What Happens After the Wedding – Your Wedding Photo Delivery Timeline

Your wedding day in Devon, Somerset, or anywhere across the South West is full of unforgettable moments—and as your photographer, it’s my mission to capture every single one. But once the day is over and you're soaking in newlywed bliss, you might start wondering: “When will we get our wedding photos back?”

Let me walk you through exactly what happens after your wedding and share my full wedding photo delivery timeline so you’re never left in the dark.

Sneak Peeks – The Exciting First Look

I know how hard it is to wait—especially when you’re excited to relive the magic! That’s why I always aim to send over a handful of sneak peek images within 48–72 hours of your big day. These are perfect for sharing with friends and family (and yes, for updating your profile pictures!).

Whether your wedding was in a rustic barn in Somerset, a beachside venue in South Devon, or a romantic garden ceremony in Torquay or Exeter, these sneak peeks will bring back all the feels.

Full Gallery Delivery – What to Expect

Your full gallery of professionally edited wedding photos is typically delivered within 6–8 weeks. Every image goes through a detailed editing process where I enhance colours, lighting, and composition—so you get a collection of timeless, vibrant photographs that tell your story beautifully.

Once your wedding has been captured, it gets added to my editing queue. I work through weddings in the order they were shot, so editing priority is based on the date of each event. This means couples who marry earlier in the season will naturally receive their galleries sooner.

It’s also worth noting that turnaround times may vary slightly depending on the time of year—for example, during quieter months like winter, I may have a minimal editing queue, so galleries can sometimes be delivered even faster. However, in peak wedding season (spring through summer), the queue can be a little longer, so the full 6–8 weeks may be needed.

As a Devon and Somerset wedding photographer, I believe in quality over rushing. Whether your ceremony was held in Barnstaple, Totnes, Taunton, or Wells, I’ll make sure your gallery reflects every gorgeous detail.

You’ll receive your wedding gallery via a secure, easy-to-use online gallery platform. From there, you can download your images, share the link with loved ones, and even order prints straight from the gallery. Plus, you'll receive an exclusive 50% discount on prints for the first two weeks after your gallery is delivered—perfect for printing your favourite memories to your heart’s content and surprising family with keepsakes too!

Album Options – Tangible Memories That Last

Looking to turn your wedding photos into a beautiful keepsake? I offer a range of luxury wedding photo albums that are handcrafted to showcase your favourite images. Once you’ve had a chance to browse your full gallery, you can choose your must-have shots and I’ll design your album for you.

Many couples across Devon and Somerset love having a physical album to flip through on anniversaries or share with future generations—it’s truly a forever keepsake.
