<p>In contrast to David and Pete, I actually edit out for my first round quickly then edit in the second round around. I think it depends on how your mind works. For me, I want to exclude the bad shots with not much thinking the first time around. Then I spend a little more time editing in. When editing in, I relate the pictures to one anther and make sure my selected pictures can tell the wholeness of the story of the day. I don't always count the hours but in general I will say I spend 4 hours to get to 300 to 400 photos from 1000. I often do a third round (another hour or so) on a different day with a fresh pair of eyes before I start on editing the finalists. So productivity wise for a ten hours wedding an additional 5 to 6 hours goes into culling and another 5 to 6 hours into finalizing and editing (and blogging). </p>
