The Process
While we always aim to get as close as possible to your preferences from the sample process, naturally there's always a chance to feedback once you get your entire order back. Once you receive your edits you're able to send us notes so that we are able to continue to dial in your look until everything is perfect.
3. Feedback Time!
We require you to send a full job that is in your editing queue to start the sampling process. We’ll pull a selection of 20-30 images from a variety of different times of day and lighting situations to dial in your preferences. Once you've approved your samples, you're able to pay your invoice and we'll get to work on the full wedding.
2. You're in! Send your first job for samples.
Fill out our contact form to join our new client waitlist. We’ll quickly be in touch with you to let you know how long we estimate it will be before we can onboard you.

Learning Your Style
We have a team of passionate, talented editors who are always eager to impress. We’re so excited to show you what we can do!
To get everything started, we offer a complimentary sample set from a full, unedited wedding to help gauge your style and dial in your preferences. The sampling process is an integral part of our relationship! It is essential for us to fine tune your feedback until we have everything perfect and are able to progress with the entire order.

Creating Consistency
At RAW Digital Lab, we put a big focus on consistency. So we always recommend that our clients work with one colour preset and one black and white preset to ensure the images we edit for you are cohesive and give you a signature look. If you don’t have a preset, don’t worry! We’ll make one especially for you!
We like to use presets for every job as a starting point. Once the preset is applied, we commence our work. Every single image is edited frame by frame and enhanced to look it’s very best!

Turnaround
Our standard turnaround for most of the year for weddings is 10 business days.
Jobs under 100 files are 5 business days.
During our peak season we may extend our turnaround to ensure we maintain the high quality of the product we deliver. You'll always be told upfront at the point of submission if we have an extended turnaround at the time and an exact return date so you're able to make the choice if you'd still like to submit.

REVIEW
After trying may other companies I finally found an incredible editor that got my style and vision. As a high volume photographer, outsourcing has allowed me to have work/life balance and to deliver my clients' photos quickly. Every time I get my gallery back they are perfectly edited. Not only do I have more time to serve more couples, I have more energy to devote to them on their wedding day. I'm so grateful for RAW Digital Lab.

REVIEW
When I first considered the idea of outsourcing my editing I was totally against the idea. I felt that my work would be perceived as inauthentic or would lack my special artistic touch. That sounds ridiculous to me now, but I was worried that people would think I was a fraud. In reality, outsourcing my editing to RAW Digital Lab has freed me up to serve my clients 10 times better than ever before because I actually have the time and capacity to care for them.
RAW Digital Lab became the biggest blessing to my business. I actually think I’d lose my mind if it weren’t for them! From day one I have felt so cared for — they listen well to your hopes for your work, assign a specific editor to you for consistency, and will never nickel and dime you — their pricing structure is straightforward and clear. Send them your edits and free up your life!

Having RAW Digital Lab take care of our editing has been a total game changer for our business.
The team are so easy and amazing to work with so it has been an absolute pleasure. It's reassuring knowing that our images get placed in the hands of our one trusty editor who has our style down pat.
These guys are total life savers and we could not recommend them enough.

REVIEW
RAW Digital Lab has elevated my editing beyond my wildest imagination. My style coordinator works hands on with me for each of my three brands to nail the right feel, mood and styling for each situation. Whether it is an adventure elopement in Iceland or a hipster wedding in Brooklyn, the team at RAW Digital Lab customises each preset and each edit to absolute perfection. My studios would not run as smoothly as they do without the invaluable support of my editors down under.

Discovering RAW Digital Lab has seriously taken my business to the next level. It has allowed me to spend less time in front of my computer screen and more time behind my camera.
The RDL team are so personable and the entire process is so easy and straight forward. They are so good at what they do that I can't tell the difference between my edits and theirs. My only regret is not finding out about them sooner!

REVIEW
The day we decided to start working with RAW Digital Lab was a literal game changer. By outsourcing our editing, we've been able to dedicate more time to our couples, shoot more elopements, return galleries faster than ever, and enjoy more free time instead of spending hours upon hours in an "editing cave."
Our culler and editor at RAW Digital Lab now know our style so well, we hardly ever have any changes to final galleries. On top of that, the entire team at RDL is super kind, responsive, and obviously care a lot about their clients. We've sent over 100 galleries their way and will be sending hundreds more!”

Culling Services
This allows us to see as much detail as possible in every image. The beauty of working with Smart Previews in Lightroom is that you’re able to send across all of your images in the one catalog to have us make the selections.
Each of your images are viewed full screen during our culling process.
Highlight Selection
In addition to our culling services we also offer a highlight selection which is a separate selection process on up to 150 of the best images of the day. You’re able to get this service even if you’ve done your own cull.
This service is used by our clients to save them time when selecting images for social media, blogging, sneak peeks, album design and client slideshows. Check out our pricing page for further details on our culling fees.
