Culling shouldn't take you longer than the wedding itself. In this episode, I break down how I get through an entire wedding's images in under an hour, starting with why I cull on the day rather than waiting until I'm home. I cover: Why culling at the wedding, while your mind is still fresh, beats doing it days later The maths behind speed: how shaving even a second off each image selection adds up to hours saved over a season A live demo of FastCull, the culling app I built from scratch specifically for wedding photographers FastCull is a one-time purchase with no subscription, built to get you through thousands of images fast without AI making decisions for you.

It's kind of fitting that our 100th episode is to talk about our own daughter's wedding! We unpack how it felt to be on the other side of the camera for once.

Seventeen years in, wedding photographer Aiden Priest joins me for a wide-ranging conversation covering everything he's picked up along the way. From a chance start second shooting for his postman to running one of the fastest turnaround workflows in the industry, Aiden shares the systems, mindset and hard-won lessons that keep him consistent after hundreds of weddings. We cover so much including editing efficiency, kit philosophy, second shooter selection, data security, handling negative reviews and some of the more extreme situations weddings can throw at you, all tied together by the idea that experience teaches you what actually matters and what you can let go of.
