What is the average number of proofs that a wedding photographer provides to his/her clients?

I say about 50+/hour, but I also tell them it really depends on the size of the bridal party, how long the B&G will let you take pics for, how much action there is at the reception, how many family members they want pics w/, etc. Hope that helps!


*Gear: 5D Mark II, 2 5D's, 30D, 85mm 1.8, 50mm 1.4, 24mmL 1.4, 45mm TS-E, 16-35mmL 2.8 II, 70-200L 2.8 IS, 100mm 2.8 macro, 15mm 2.8 fisheye, 580EXII, 580EX, 430EX, AB 800, AB Ring flash, lots of PW's, stands, umbrellas, etc.

One thing I'm struggling with; Do you do touch ups on all of your proofs before giving them to your clients, or do you give them straight-out-of-the-camera images and let them know you will do touch ups on the images they select?


Canon 30D, Canon EOS 350D, 580EX Speedlites, 17-40mm f/4 L USM, 50mm f/1.8, Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 EX, 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM

I give my images a once over in Lightroom first, so they don't look too bad - and I also touch up a few images, with some special effects, to show them how it might look like, if they want that effect on other images. I give the client about 60% of the images I've taken.
