Shooting is three days. Editing is three weeks. Then delivery quietly eats another two — four hundred guests, four hundred small requests. Here is the workflow that stops the chase before it starts.
The delivery stage nobody budgets for
Shooting is three days. Editing is three weeks. Then comes the part that quietly eats another two weeks: sending the gallery, chasing people who lost the link, and answering "can you send me the ones with my family" for the fourth time.
For most Indian wedding photographers, delivery is not a technical problem — it is an administrative one that scales linearly with guest count. Four hundred guests means four hundred small requests.
The four delivery stages
1. Prepare the gallery
Create one album per function rather than one for the wedding. Mehndi, haldi, sangeet, pheras and reception have different guests and different photography, and separating them means each guest searches only what they attended.
2. Upload at full resolution
Upload in bulk and let the platform process in the background. This is where a platform priced by photo count becomes painful — an Indian wedding runs 2,800–7,400 edited photos, and it is entirely possible to exceed a tier you chose two months ago.
3. Publish and share
Publishing makes the album live. Two distribution channels matter: a QR code printed for the venue, and a private link for guests who have already gone home. For a wedding that has not yet happened, the QR goes on table cards; for one already delivered, the link goes out over WhatsApp.
4. Notify and archive
One notification action reaches every registered guest by WhatsApp and email. Then, when the season ends, archive the finished album to cold storage rather than leaving it in hot storage or deleting it.
What good delivery actually looks like
| Stage | What the client experiences | What it costs you |
|---|---|---|
| Link only | Opens, scrolls, gives up | Repeated support messages |
| Link + full album | Starts scrolling, rarely finishes | Some support, low downloads |
| QR + guest selfie search | Scans, sees own photos in seconds | Near-zero support |
The third row is the one worth aiming for. When each guest gets a private gallery of only their own photos, the follow-up conversation stops happening — not because you answered it faster, but because it never starts.
Pricing that does not punish a wedding season
| Plan | Storage | Price | Typical coverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 1 GB | ₹0 | A test album or small shoot |
| Entry | 100 GB | ₹833.25/mo, billed yearly | One large multi-function wedding |
| Mid | 500 GB | ₹1,166.58/mo | About half a season |
| Top | 1 TB | ₹1,666.58/mo | A full season with archives |
Prices exclude 18% GST. Every plan includes the full feature set; only storage changes.
Cold storage is bundled equal to your hot allowance. That is the piece most photographers underestimate: by year two you have a dozen weddings online and no appetite for deleting any of them. Archiving solves that without a second subscription.
