Love to Edit
For Photographers Who
But Hate to Cull
Hi, I’m Macy — a professional photo culler with over seven years of experience serving wedding and portrait photographers. If you’re looking for someone who treats your images like moments, not numbers - you’re in the right place.
Culling isn’t just trimming a gallery. It’s preserving emotion, detail, and those in-between glances that tell the real story. I don’t believe in handing that off to AI or automation. Every gallery is culled by me - with human eyes, a storyteller’s heart, and deep respect for the legacy these moments carry.
Your reputation depends on what makes the cut — and I take that seriously, with joy.
Hi, I'm Macy
a professional photo culler
I was trained by Jessica Lowell of Five Fourteen Photography - my mom, and one incredible wedding photographer. She welcomed me into her world when I was just 16, teaching me not just how to cull, but how to see — to spot the most flattering pose, recognize emotion, and notice the little moments that make an image meaningful. From the start, she showed me how to approach every gallery with purpose, precision, and heart.
What started as a way to help quickly turned into something much more - a true partnership and a passion of my own. Since then, I’ve had the honor of serving other photographers with that same level of care and storytelling intention.
About Me
Hi, I'm Macy
I’ve also worked full-time for the Rocheal Matthews of Rocheal Photography and Stephen Armstrong of Armstrong Photo for over four years each, culling every single wedding and session they shoot.
Last October, Rocheal - who’s become like family to us - photographed my wedding (yes, I even culled my own gallery afterward!). That experience made everything hit a little deeper. These aren’t just photos — they’re people, memories, moments you’ll never get back. One day, they might be all you have of someone you love… and I carry that with me in every gallery I touch.
About Me
Hi, I'm Macy
You pour your heart into every gallery. You edit each photo with intention, emotion, and care — because these aren’t just images; they’re memories your clients will treasure for a lifetime.
But before you can tell that story beautifully, you have to sort through thousands of near-duplicates, blinked eyes, and off moments. That’s where I come in.
I’m here to help you hold onto the joy of editing — without drowning in the overwhelm of culling. With human eyes (not AI), I thoughtfully choose the strongest images so you can get back to what you love most: preserving legacies, frame by frame.
Photos Your Client Will Cherish
Your art, their story, REFINED.
That’s where I come in. I make sure nothing important slips through the cracks. You shoot with intention - your culls should reflect that.
You don’t need to spend another evening second-guessing your selects. That’s my job — and I love it.
Why a Human Culler Matters
AI editing has come a long way. But AI culling? Not so much.
- Recognize which photo flatters your bride’s curves just a little more than the rest
- Catch the subtle difference when your groom’s expression softens into something real
- Realize there are actually 8 groomsmen in matching suits, not 5
- Understand when a slightly under-focused image still deserves to stay because of the moment it captures
This is for you if...
it's not for you if...
- You’re a wedding or portrait photographer drowning in RAW files
- You care deeply about storytelling and emotional consistency
- You want a human to review every image, not AI
- You’re tired of second-guessing which photos to keep
- You value fast (but not rushed), clean, and professional turnarounds
- You believe every gallery deserves a thoughtful, start-to-finish story
- You want to spend more time creating and less time clicking through near-duplicates
- You are okay letting a robot decide what moments matter - skipping over emotion
- You’re only looking to reduce file count without intention
- You don’t mind if a few key moments slip through the cracks
- You’re not particular about flattering angles or expression
- You want a lightning-fast half-hearted job, instead of thoughtful selections
- You don’t care if five nearly identical images make it into the final gallery

When your galleries are tight, thoughtful, and on-time, your brand shines. You become the photographer who delivers beautifully—and doesn’t miss a thing.
Elevate the experience your clients remember
I remove duplicates, blinks, blurs, and “almosts” so what’s left is strong, emotional, and edit-ready. No more weeding through lookalikes—just clean, consistent storytelling.
Less clutter, more story
With culling completely off your plate, you’ll flow straight from shoot to editing - without getting bogged down in the in-between. Clear systems = faster delivery and happier clients.
Streamline your post-shoot process
Stop letting unculled galleries stack up and stress you out. I’ll take care of the image overload so you can breathe, reset, and focus on what actually moves your business forward.
Get out from under thousands of RAW files
Whether that’s more sessions, more editing, more rest, or more play—you get to choose. I’ll handle the scroll so you can stay inspired and in your creative zone.
Do more of what Lights You Up
With culling off your plate, you can finally take on more of what you love without sacrificing turnaround times or burning out. It’s time to grow with intention.
Work less. Book more. Grow smarter
When you’re not stuck behind Lightroom culling every wedding yourself, you have more energy to serve your clients, show up online, and say yes to the opportunities that actually excite you.

You'll export your Lightroom Classic catalog with Smart Previews (no negatives), zip the entire folder, and upload it via the link I send after you schedule. Don’t forget: one gallery per catalog only!
How do I prepare my catalog for culling?
No worries — life happens! Your gallery will not be canceled; Instead, your turnaround time will default to an 8-business-day delivery window, regardless of the originally selected tier. To keep your turnaround timeline, make sure to upload by noon on your scheduled date.
What if I miss my upload day?
Yes! Please mark any images you’ve already selected or edited green in Lightroom so I can keep them in your final culled gallery.
Can I mark sneak peeks or pre-edits so they don’t get removed?
No. Not Even A Little - and that’s my promise to you. Every image is reviewed with my own eyes, ensuring that expressions, posing, and storytelling are thoughtfully preserved.
Do you use any AI or automated culling tools?
Ex: If you reserve Tuesday the 1st and upload your catalog by 8pm, your 5 business day turnaround officially begins on Wednesday the 2nd, and your culled catalog will be delivered by end of day Tuesday the 8th.
How fast is your turnaround?
I offer 3-, 5-, and 8-business-day turnaround options. Uploads and payments must be completed by 8pm EST on your reserved date. Delivery is always by 9 PM on the final business day.
Your $50 retainer secures your upload day. Because I only take a limited number of catalogs per day, I can not rebook missed slots - they're considered saleable service dates.
Why is the retainer non-refundable?
