How many wedding photos should a photographer deliver to a client?

There is no standard number that every photographer delivers, because it depends on the length of coverage, the style of photography, and how many events you have planned. A photographer covering a full day, from getting ready to the evening party, might deliver several hundred images. A half-day shoot will naturally produce fewer.

What matters more than the raw count is that you receive a good selection of edited, high-quality photos that tell the story of your day. Ask your photographer before booking how many images they typically deliver per hour or per day, and whether that includes both colour and black and white versions. Also ask about editing, retouching, and whether you receive the files in high resolution for printing.

Some photographers deliver every usable shot, others curate a tighter set. Either is fine as long as you know what to expect. If you have a specific number in mind, say so early. And remember, quality beats quantity: a smaller set of beautiful, meaningful photos is better than hundreds of duplicates or blurry shots.
