Also asked as: What do I get with my wedding package? How many photos will I receive? Difference between videography and cinematography?
Photography: No limits—you receive all images that meet our quality standards.
We deliver approximately 50% of what we shoot. A typical 12-hour wedding may yield 700-900 edited images. A 6-hour ceremony-only event may yield 400-500 images. A 20-hour multi-day South Asian wedding may yield 1,200-2,000 images.
Every image is properly exposed, sharp, well-composed, and tells part of your story. We don’t pad your gallery with filler—only the best moments.
Videography deliverables:
Want even more edited photos? Use your InstantEditAI credits (included with every package) to edit additional images at your discretion.
Also asked as: How many pictures do wedding photographers give? Will I get all the photos? Do I get raw files? What’s the difference between video and cinema packages?
Photos: 2 weeks from your wedding date. We deliver fast without compromising quality.
Videos: 6-8 weeks from your wedding date (varies by season). Peak wedding season (May-October) may extend toward 8 weeks due to volume. Off-season weddings often deliver closer to 6 weeks. Cinematic editing requires extensive color grading, audio mixing, and storytelling—we craft each frame intentionally.
Sneak Peeks: 20-25 preview images within 24 hours (shared on social media with your permission, plus private gallery access).
Same-day sneak peeks available during cocktail hour/reception if we have 1+ hour between ceremony and reception.
Multi-day events: Turnaround times remain the same. We deliver all events together as one cohesive collection.
While others take 8-12 weeks for photos, we deliver in 2 weeks—it’s part of the Raj Signature Experience.
