Wedding Photo Culling Service
Sorting thousands of frames is the slowest part of every wedding. We pick the best shot of every moment and set aside the rest, so your gallery is ready for editing. Our photo culling service is done by hand, not by software.

What We Set Aside When Culling a Wedding
No auto-culling software. An editor goes through the whole shoot in order and keeps the frames that tell the story, the way you would if you had the time.
Duplicates and bursts
From a run of near-identical frames, we keep the strongest one.
Closed eyes and blinks
Every face is checked, including the people at the back of the group.
Missed focus and blur
Soft focus, motion blur and camera shake are set aside.
Bad exposure
Frames too dark or blown out to save are taken out.
Awkward expressions
Mid-word, mid-chew and half-smiles that nobody wants to see.
Test shots and misfires
Light checks, ground shots and accidental clicks are removed.

Do you delete my rejected photos?
No. Your selects are flagged in the catalog and rejects stay where they are, so you can review them or change a pick at any time.
Can I tell you how many images to keep?
Yes. Give us a target number or a rough keep rate, plus any must-keep shots, and we cull to it.
Do you use AI or auto-culling?
No. An editor views every frame and compares similar shots by hand.
What files can I send?
We work with Lightroom Smart Preview catalogs, RAW files and JPEG files. Smart Previews are much smaller to upload.
What if I disagree with some picks?
Tell us what you'd change and we'll adjust, and we'll remember it for your next wedding.
What Photographers Say
Fantastic, perfect, amazing! Wish I would have found you sooner. Your design is exactly what I would have done.
Pikartz was wonderful to work with and saved me countless hours of work. The turnaround time was lightning fast and the process was very easy.
