Same-Day Wedding Edit — Ceremony & Portrait Images Delivered During the Evening Reception
The same-day edit is a premium wedding photography add-on that delivers a curated selection of 30–60 edited images from the ceremony and couple portrait session during the evening reception — while the wedding is still happening. The images are typically shared on a private gallery link that can be projected on the venue screen, shared to guests’ phones, or simply enjoyed by the couple during dinner. It is one of the most impactful upgrades available for couples who want to experience their wedding photography on the day rather than three weeks later.
Yana Skakun Photography offers the same-day edit service as an add-on to full wedding photography packages, available at most venues where a technical setup is feasible. The service requires advance logistics coordination with the venue and is processed during the reception period — Yana edits while the party is underway, delivering the gallery before the speeches or during the first hour of the evening reception.
What the Same-Day Edit Includes
The same-day edit gallery typically includes: the most emotionally significant moments from the ceremony (first look, exchange of rings, first kiss, signing of the register), the full couple portrait session from golden hour or the afternoon portrait break, and selected arrival and pre-ceremony moments. Images are lightly but fully edited — the same colour grading and quality as the final full gallery, not phone-processed previews.
Does It Affect the Full Gallery?
The same-day edit does not delay the full gallery. The edited selections are a subset of the full day’s work, produced during the reception while no active photography is happening. Full gallery delivery follows the standard three to four week timeline. The same-day edit is an addition, not a substitution — the couple receives both the immediate selection and the complete gallery on the normal schedule.
