You should.

I shot 1263. I culled 216 from my main camera last night and will probably have another 100 or so from my other camera. It was a really rough wedding for me.

Around 1200. Delivered 400.

I know it's somewhat of a controversial topic on here (having read a few threads) but my plan is to shoot more at my next wedding. My goal is 2000+. I just want to try it and see if I get better or worse results, or if it makes no difference at all.

Six hours, about 1200, delivered a bit over 300. Very typical for me.

I'd be curious to see what people are delivering in relation to how much they're charging.

2236 from me. 1138 from my 2nd photographer. Will cull down to 500-600 from me, 300ish from my 2nd.

Edit: I feel it may be necessary to say how long of day you shot. I know a lot of folks do 6 hour days, my minimum is usually around 10 hours. This day was 11.

For 8hrs, typically shoot around 2k (myself + second shooter), and are now delivering around 700. We used to deliver around 400. I don't imagine we'll go beyond delivering 700-ish. I really want to be more deliberate about every shot taken and work harder on planning compositions.

Last wedding, Simple 2nd wedding with only the home and the ceremony/ formals/ reception all at the same venue. Full bridal party 3+3. About 6 hours coverage, 400 ish pics, probably delivered about 380 or so. I only cull things like blinks and open mouths etc.

Typical wedding, 600 pics absoloute tops for a 12 hour or more job. Time dosen't make all that much difference to me unless I do Night shots after the reception. That may add 50 or so. I would be unlucky to edit any more than 50 shots ( probably not even that many ) from what I give the couple.

I pre layout the album before the couples come in and then just make whatever changes they request which typicaly is delete some pages and swap pics over on about 5-6 of them. I have no idea how many I put in the album now but the last big album I did was about 60.

Shot two weddings this weekend, 2700 at one, 3000 at the other. Both were long days with lots going on. They will probably get around 1000 from each.
