For wedding, portrait, and event photographers

Deliver client galleries on your own domain — without a $300/yr proofing app.

Pixieset, ShootProof, and Pic-Time are great if you need shopping carts and print fulfillment. Most photographers don't — they need a clean, fast way to deliver edited galleries on their brand. BulkShare gives you a branded subdomain like gallery.yourstudio.com, custom delivery pages, and per-client download tracking — for less than half the price of dedicated proofing platforms.

From shoot to client delivery

What a wedding or portrait delivery actually looks like.

  1. 1

    Set up gallery.yourstudio.com

    One CNAME record in your DNS, two-minute wait. From now on every gallery link uses your domain — guests scrolling through it feel like they're on your site, not a third-party platform.

  2. 2

    Upload your culled, edited deliverables

    Drop the final 300-800 photos from Lightroom export (or 30-50 sneak peeks the night-of). RAW files separately if you've contractually agreed to share them. No file count limit.

  3. 3

    Send the branded gallery link

    Couple receives an email — your logo, your colors, your custom message. They click, see a clean download page with your branding, and grab the ZIP. Or you can scope per-album with password-protected sub-links (e.g., one for the couple, one for the wedding planner, one for the venue).

  4. 4

    See exactly when they downloaded

    The dashboard shows the timestamp of every download. Useful for invoicing milestones ("50% on delivery") and for following up if a couple hasn't downloaded their gallery after 2 weeks.

Wedding gallery delivery — start to finish

One week from shoot to download. No proofing-platform price tag, no client signup.

Date-stamped, easy to remember, readable. Beats pixieset.com/?gallery=8f3kd92x every time.

Privacy

Pre-release photos shouldn't leak into Google Images

Commercial shoots, wedding sneak peeks, and any pre-publication work needs more than a generic share link. BulkShare auto-strips EXIF (GPS coordinates, camera serial) on upload — protecting both your studio location and your client's privacy. Password-gate sensitive sets, set expiry to match your contract, and watermark the previews while keeping master files clean.

  • EXIF / GPS / camera-serial auto-stripped on upload
  • Password protection on every gallery link
  • Custom expiry — 30 days for sneak peeks, 1 year for finals
  • AES-256 storage on Cloudflare R2
  • No public crawler access — no risk of Google indexing your client galleries

Common photographer workflows

Wedding

Final wedding gallery — 600 edited JPGs

5-12 GB delivery. Branded link, optional password (couple's wedding date). Download once, ZIP, done. No "watermark removal upgrade" hustle.

Wedding pre-delivery

Sneak peek the night after the wedding

20-50 best shots delivered hours after the event. Couple gets a branded link they can share with family — "here's your wedding link, gallery comes in 4 weeks."

Portraits

Family portrait session delivery

100-200 edited JPGs. Smaller than wedding. Branded page lets the family download, choose favorites for printing.

Events

Corporate event coverage

Same-day delivery of 50-100 highlights, then full set 1 week later. Two links — "highlights now" and "full gallery soon."

Commercial

Brand shoot RAW files to design team

200-500 RAW files for a commercial campaign. RAW files are huge (~50 MB each), so 10-25 GB delivery. Branded link with password since these are pre-publication assets.

Stock / archive

Yearly archive backup link to client

End-of-year handover — full archive of all shoots that year. Branded delivery, set 1-year expiry on the link so clients don't lose it but you're not hosting forever.

Photographer-specific tips

  1. 01

    Use date-based gallery URLs

    gallery.yourstudio.com/smith-2026-06 reads better than a random-token URL. The couple can email each other the link without an awkward jumble of characters.

  2. 02

    Compress RAW deliveries to TIFF before sending

    Commercial clients often want "RAW" but actually need TIFF. Converting before delivery cuts file size by 60%+ while preserving editability, and avoids the "my software won't open .ARW files" support email.

  3. 03

    Set link expiry to 6 months for personal clients

    Couples often re-download a year later for an anniversary or print order. 6 months protects you from open-ended hosting while being generous. Pro tip: send a "download soon, link expires X" reminder 2 weeks before.

  4. 04

    Use one master link + password for the couple

    Skip per-recipient links unless you're hand-holding stakeholders. Send the couple one link and one password — they distribute to family. Cleaner than tracking who has access.

  5. 05

    Watermark sneak-peek galleries, not final

    Sneak peeks (within 24 hours of shoot) often get shared on social. Light watermark on those. Final delivery should be unwatermarked since clients paid for them.

  6. 06

    Keep RAW separate from JPG delivery

    Two links — one for the couple (JPG only), one for any future re-edits (RAW + Lightroom catalog). Keeps the couple's experience clean while preserving your ability to re-work.

Deliver the next gallery from photos.yourstudio.com.

Free plan, no card. Add your studio domain on Pro — full-res delivery, opens tracking, expiry dates included.

Common questions

Can I send RAW files to clients using BulkShare?

Yes. BulkShare handles large file uploads so you can deliver RAW files, full-resolution TIFFs, and export folders without compressing or downscaling. Clients download the original files directly.

Do my clients need to create an account to download their photos?

No. Clients click your shared link and download immediately — no sign-up or login required. For password-protected galleries, they only need the password you provide.

Can I use my own domain for photo delivery?

Yes. With BulkShare Pro you can connect a custom subdomain like photos.yourstudio.com so every delivery link carries your brand, not a generic transfer service.

How do I know when a client has downloaded their gallery?

BulkShare Pro includes download tracking. You get visibility into when your shared link was opened and when files were downloaded, so you never have to chase clients asking 'did you get your photos?'

Can I password-protect client proofs before final delivery?

Yes. You can add a password to any shared link. This is useful for sharing watermark-free proofs with a specific client before they confirm final selects.

Can I set an expiry on gallery links after the project is closed?

Yes. BulkShare Pro lets you set expiry dates on shared links. Once a project is archived you can let the delivery link expire so old galleries stop being accessible.
