PHOTO EDITING
THAT is NOT the business you wanted.
Okay, so maybe you don't hate those tedious tasks that inevitably show up after every. single. wedding.
But you're darn tired of the hamster wheel that is your post-wedding workflow.
You start every wedding season with fresh resolve and serious vigor.
"I am going to NAIL the workflow this time!"
you get a few weddings deep
images in your queue to be:

The overwhelm sets in.
You start saying "no" to family and friends.
October hits.
Your hopes of having an organized workflow has turned into a mad scramble ... AGAIN.
Forget blogging. Screw SEO.
Now you're just trying to get done with your editing in time for the holidays to so you can actually enjoy them.
then ...
what you
really
wanted
• freedom to do something you enjoy
• to make money
• the opposite of feeling stuck in a 9-5
• your lifestyle to dictate your business
• to deliver an amazing experience
• praise from your couples
You can have all of that back!
Let's talk
"I want to leave a million positive reviews before we have even started working together. When you work in the wedding service industry, your life is about serving others and making sure they have everything they need. To be on the other side, to be asked what was important to me and what I need...I can't even put into words how much that means to me. Thank you. 💕"

GREAT. NEWS.
WE DO EVERYTHING YOU DON'T LOVE.
Why?
to EMPOWER you...
You got into photography because you wanted to take amazing photos of precious memories, or you wanted to tell stories, be around happy people, or connect with couples. Or hey, maybe you're just in it for the cake. You relish that cake my friend, and know you can go home and NOT cull those 4,000 images you just shot.
To Get back to the reason you started:
Get started
Let's be honest, when you got started you also wanted to put some cash in the bank. By outsourcing your workflow, you can put all those extra hours you used to spend editing into growing the biz.
TO SCALE YOUR BUSINESS:
Double headers? TRIPLE headers? You can say yes, knowing someone else is handling all the workflow tasks afterward.
TO BOOK MORE EVENTS:
Having more time means you can book more events. Booking more events means making more money. You can't afford NOT to do this!
TO MAKE MORE MONEY:
With our incredibly fast turnaround time, your couples could get their photos back on their honeymoon, which as we all know is a recipe for excellent referrals.
TO DELIVER AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE:
Couples who have good experiences make raving fans, and raving fans are loud about what they love, and if they love YOU, they'll be loud about YOU, which means more inquiries!
TO GET RAVE REVIEWS:
"You mean I can actually enjoy the weeks leading up to the holidays?!" ... Oh honey, yes. And if you wanna bake that pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving, you take your sweet time while we finish up those galleries for you.
TO KISS OCTOBER BURNOUT GOODBYE:
You didn't WANT to work a 9-5 remember? That's why you work for yourself. Time to give yourself a raise and delegate some tasks. That's what real bosses do!
TO BE YOUR OWN DANG BOSS:
Humans weren't meant to stare at a screen for a whole week just to edit a single wedding. Ya'll have heard of Computer Vision Strain right (it's a real thing!)? Carpal tunnel too, yo. Be nice to yourself.
TO STOP BURNING YOUR EYEBALLS:
Been wanting to take your kids to Disney? Just want a fruity, cold drink on a sandy hot beach? Go wherever you want! We'll handle the back end stuff and when you come home, you'll get all the praise!
TO TAKE A FREAKING VACATION:
Spend time with family and friends and not feel guilty about your workload. Coffee? Yep. Date? Yep. Mom's night out? OMG CRYING.
TO LIVE YOUR LIFE:
TO HAVE A CHOICE!
"I won't sugar-coat it...I was SO OVERWHELMED with editing work that just kept piling up, I KNEW it was time for a change! It's my first time EVER outsourcing ANYTHING in my business, so Meagan made that transition go SO SMOOTHLY!!! When I got back the first wedding I sent, I opened it up and CRIED!! YES! CRIED!!! It was SO PERFECT!! THANK YOU Meagan and Adam for bringing JOY BACK into my business!!"
THIS
not that
"What do I get to work on in my business today?"
"Shoot all four weekends in June? A double-header in September? Cha-ching!"
"Yea I can TOTALLY grab coffee Monday morning!"
"My couples LOVE me! The experience they’re getting is unparalleled."
"Can I host a Friendsgiving dinner? Duh, YES!"
"Hey honey, I'm going for my daily walk! I think I'll go for an hour today."
"Wow. My business is FINALLY thriving. So this is how the big name photographers do it."
"OMG I have NINE weddings to cull and edit."
"I couldn't handle all the culling and editing. I'd get backed up. It's too much. Nope."
"Sorry, I have to cull and edit this wedding before the next one."
"My couples are upset because I’m behind getting their galleries out."
"Are you kidding? Do you know what my November looks like?! I'll be lucky if I can even come."
"How am I ever going to find time to take care of myself?"
"I'll never be able to grow my business like the big name photographers have."
"[Outsourcing has] significantly improved our client experience. We went from delivering entire wedding galleries in a month and a half down to delivering them in ONE week!! That wouldn't be possible without the help of the Jepsons! We seriously can't rave enough about working with them!!"

TAKE IT!
Wanna know what your editing style says about you?
"Thank you for being the most trustworthy and considerate editor out there. I know that whenever I send you my images, they are in the best hands. You actually take time to make sure every image is perfect and how I would want it, not just glossing over all the images. Thank you for taking your time and giving me your best work. That's why I'll never leave you."
Our turnaround time is 3-5 business days.
It takes roughly three weddings (~700 images each) to get a feel for a new style. Your feedback will help!
Ever heard of Lightroom Smart Previews? They’re pretty awesome. We will give you step-by-step instructions on how to export images and import them back in (and we’ll be there if something goes wrong). You’ll be a pro in no time!
At this time, we only work with wedding photographers, but would be happy to refer you.
Nope. We like to make your experience as personalized and consistent as possible, so when you contact us we will decide which one of us makes the best fit for you and you’ll work one-on-one with your editor from that point on!
"[Their] heart for [their] clients was evident and that's something that is a huge priority to me in my own business, so I knew it was going to be a good fit and I could feel confident that there was still love being poured into images of my clients that I love so dearly. :)"
We've received your message, and will be in touch soon. If you need to contact us directly, you can email at meagan@the-jepsons.com.
