Delivered, shared, unpaid
The full gallery goes out. Within a day the photos are all over social media and the family group chat. The balance? “After the honeymoon.” Then “next month”.
For wedding photographers
Never chase a wedding payment again.
No more full galleries all over the family group chat while the balance slips to “after the honeymoon”. The couple picks their favourites in a watermarked gallery — the photos are theirs once the balance is in.

Sound familiar?
The hardest part of a wedding comes after it.
The list of numbers
“We’d like 4, 17, 23, maybe 31, and the one with grandma.” The album selection arrives by email, then a second list from the bride’s mother, then a correction to the first list. You spend an evening matching file numbers.
“Can you just quickly …”
Remove the exit sign. Slim the arm. Brighten the dress. One more edit on the photo you already delivered twice. None of it was in the package.
Why it keeps happening
Once they have the files, the urgency is gone.
A download link hands over every photo before the balance is settled. Choosing favourites has no proper place, so it ends up in emails and screenshots. And edit requests come in one by one, so nobody sees how many there were.
The fix is the order: choose first, pay second, files last.
The fix
They choose first. They pay second. Then the photos are theirs.
Handover.photo gives the couple one link to a watermarked gallery. They mark favourites, pick their selection and note any wishes on the photo itself. The full resolution photos unlock once you have confirmed the balance.
Nothing shared unpaid
Before the balance is in, the couple only sees watermarked previews at reduced resolution. Nice to look at, not worth posting.
The selection, done for you
The couple taps favourites and selects their photos in the gallery. You see the exact list in your dashboard — no file numbers, no second email.
Wishes on the photo
Edit requests sit on the photo they concern, in one place. You see all of them at once — and every round stays on record.

Questions
What photographers ask before they start.
Can the couple pick their own favourites?
Yes. They mark favourites and select the photos they want, right in the gallery. You see their selection in your dashboard.
Can they share the photos before paying?
Only watermarked previews at reduced resolution. The full resolution photos stay locked until you confirm the payment.
Can I charge per extra photo beyond the package?
Yes. Use tiered pricing or a price per photo, and the gallery shows the couple what their selection costs.
Can I sell prints and albums through it?
No. Handover.photo focuses on one job: review, payment and delivery of the digital files. If print sales are central to your business, a print-focused gallery fits you better.
How does the couple pay?
Directly to you, by bank transfer, PayPal or Bitcoin. We never take a share of your fee.
