PLANNED / PHOTOS INTO PRINTS AND GIFTS

Keep the quality.
Make sharing useful.

Three product directions that support your work after delivery: print checks, family gifts, and controlled vendor sharing.

PRINT QUALITY / PROPOSED

Check the photo before it prints

Preview the crop and flag low resolution for the selected print size. Confirm product and colour standards during the pilot.

FAMILY ALBUMS / PLANNED

Turn a private album into a gift

Save family selections once, then use the same photos for a book, calendar, or other gift. Sharing the digital album stays optional.

VENDOR GALLERIES / PROPOSED

Share selected photos with vendors

Give a venue, florist, or planner a separate selection with photographer credit and agreed usage permissions.

Product concepts, not print-quality guarantees or a grant of image-use rights. Product, colour, and licensing requirements need agreement.

THE PRINT MODEL / CLEARLY EXPLAINED

Earn from prints.
For every wedding.

Earn 30% of print profit from your weddings, for life. Couples and guests order directly from the wedding page.

The planned model is funded through couple purchases and print orders, rather than a recurring photographer photo-hosting fee.

Request partner & payout terms ↗
See the calculation behind each order.

The proposed earnings ledger shows revenue, deductions, profit, and your share. A profit share is different from a percentage of the customer’s order value.

SAMPLE ORDER / CHOOSE YOUR OWN EXAMPLE FIGURES

See how the share is calculated.

These are editable example amounts, not actual product prices or costs. Partner terms determine which deductions apply.

From your weddings, for life. Confirm the profit calculation, attribution, and payout terms.

PIXIESET

Your markup, less fees

15% store commission on the free plan; 0% on paid plans. Processing and production costs still apply.

PIC-TIME

THE PLANNED AFTERGLOW EXPERIENCE

Hosting connects to the whole wedding.

  • ✓ Separate photographer and couple access
  • ✓ QR guest uploads in a separate album
  • ✓ Personal guest welcomes and links
  • ✓ Selfie search within permitted photos
  • ✓ Private family albums and photo gifts
  • ✓ Lifetime guest access and print ordering

Some of these are still in development. None are claimed as exclusive to Afterglow.

How is this different from event-app partner programs? +

GuestCam documents photographer access through event collaborators. We did not find a documented equivalent to Afterglow’s planned unlimited studio workspace and ongoing print-profit offer; that is not proof one cannot be arranged.

Wedibox has a partner dashboard, co-branded event packs, and photographer delivery pages. GUESTPIX offers referral commissions, partner bundles, and a pro subscription. A photographer portal or client setup is not unique to Afterglow.

Our intended combination: free unlimited hosting, a couple-controlled handoff, event guest contributions, permanent access, and 30% of print profit from your weddings. Test that combination against your current workflow and margins.

START WITH ONE WEDDING

Test the handoff.
Then decide.

Bring one completed wedding and your file requirements. Work through delivery and guest access with the team before considering a larger archive move.

Join photographer early access ↗
Built around our own wedding

Our own wedding was the first prototype. We’re inviting photographers to help shape the studio workflow.

01

Bring a collection and your requirements

Provide edited files, album folders, and any format, branding, video, or download requirements.

02

Test the prepared couple handoff

Check album structure, invitation access, preserved originals, and what changes when the couple activates their page.

03

Review the result before expanding

Confirm guest access, downloads, print samples, and partner terms. Success is a complete handoff that meets your studio’s requirements.

Check the tools your studio depends on.

Shown on this pageFolder-to-album uploads, separate couple access, guest contributions, photo discovery, and print ordering.

Confirm before moving your workflowRAW and video formats, Lightroom, proofing, custom pricing, archive migration, and contracts or invoicing.

BEFORE YOUR FIRST DELIVERY

Questions your
studio needs answered.

Start with the workflow and the economics. Confirm the details before moving your archive.

What is free, and who pays for the couple experience?

The planned photographer account includes unlimited weddings and wedding photo hosting, free for life. The couple experience is $149, once. Couples can purchase directly, or you can discuss including it in your wedding package. Prints cost extra.

What if the couple does not buy the full experience?

Photographer photo hosting remains free. The exact client-gallery publishing and download options available without a couple purchase still need confirmation before your first delivery. Do not assume the full guest experience is included without activation.

What does the couple control after the handoff?

They receive prepared albums and a welcome template. They can personalise the page, adjust guest sharing, and create private family albums. They do not need to re-sort your full edited collection. Your photographer account stays connected, and original photos remain preserved.

Can a couple invite me into their existing wedding?

Yes, that is part of the planned workflow. Accept their invitation and add the professional collection from your photographer account.

Can I keep using Pixieset or Pic-Time?

Start with Afterglow alongside your current delivery setup. Evaluate one wedding before moving more collections. Confirm your needs for RAW files, proofing, Lightroom, contracts, invoicing, and video separately; this page does not promise all of those tools.

Can guests see every original or the couple’s private albums?

The couple chooses what to publish. Original files remain preserved in the private collection, and private family albums stay private unless shared. People search must respect the albums each guest is allowed to access.

What happens to photos after the wedding?

The planned wedding experience has no upload deadline or storage expiration. Couples and guests can return to permitted albums, download photos, and order prints. Couples can also keep their own downloads.

How is the 30% print-profit share calculated and paid?

Your share is calculated from print profit on your weddings. The precise profit calculation, attribution, refunds, and payout schedule need to be defined in the partner agreement. Ask for those terms before estimating earnings.

Will I earn more than I do with my current print store?

That is not guaranteed. Compare actual margins and how much control you need over pricing and products. Pixieset and Pic-Time have their own markup and fee models; Compare the resulting payout per order before deciding which model works for you.

Can you migrate my archive or guarantee file compatibility?

Confirm formats, upload capacity, video support, and migration requirements with the team first. Folder-aware uploads and resume/retry are part of the vision; an automatic archive migration is not promised.
