How Client Photo Selection Works: The Complete Step-by-Step Process

A successful proofing system follows four defined stages: (1) Ingestion and quota configuration; (2) Client review and favoriting; (3) Final verification and lock; and (4) Filename export for retouchers and album layout designers.

Automating these transitions keeps the client informed at every juncture while protecting the photographer's production schedule.

Review our client proofing solution to see how this integrates with your studio dashboard.

Inside the GetMyMoment dashboard, the studio opens the event and enables "Client Proofing Mode." The studio defines the exact selection parameters: maximum allowed photos (e.g., 100), optional selection deadline, and custom PIN code.

The studio then sends the private URL and PIN to the couple via WhatsApp or email alongside clear instructions.

The couple logs into their private portal. The interface allows them to filter by ceremony (Mehendi, Haldi, Sangeet, Wedding) and view images full-screen.

Clicking the star or heart icon marks an image as selected. The client can view a filtered tab showing only their current selections, making it effortless to compare duplicate poses and narrow down their favorites.

When the client is satisfied with their curated selection, they click "Submit Album Selection." The portal immediately transitions to read-only status to prevent accidental modifications.

In the studio admin panel, the photographer receives a notification with the timestamped approval. With one click, the studio can copy the comma-separated filename list directly into Lightroom or Photoshop to begin final album retouching.
