1. Prepare a clean set of final JPEGs.
Finish your selection and editing first. Export the photographs intended for this delivery into a dedicated folder, separate from RAW files, earlier proofs and alternate edits. Open several exported files to confirm that you have the finished versions.
When you combine cameras or photographers, watch for repeated filenames such as IMG_0001.jpg. Keep source folders separate until your workflow can handle those collisions safely. Do not overwrite one camera’s file with another simply because they share a name.
2. Check the timeline across cameras.
Compare recognizable moments covered by both photographers. If the recorded times disagree, address the mismatch before relying on chronological sorting. Check a later shared moment too, especially if a camera clock was changed during the day.
Keep the capture-time metadata available in the JPEGs you plan to organize. If metadata is missing, review the sequence visually rather than treating filename order as reliable chronology.

Make a simple chapter structure before copying the delivery files. Numbering folders keeps the intended sequence clear. Use only the parts of the day that apply to the assignment; an elopement and a full-day wedding do not need identical deliveries.
This example uses the chapters in Mizan’s Wedding template. The downloadable text file is a reference plan, not a script: it does not create folders or move photographs.

4. Review chapter assignments with the client in mind.
Manually copy photographs into the appropriate delivery folders, or use Mizan to propose chapters from your finished JPEGs and then review the results. Keep a separate copy of the edited inputs either way.
Look closely at transitions: the last portraits before the ceremony, family photographs near the reception, and speeches during dinner. A photograph may fit more than one chapter. Choose the placement that makes the final gallery useful, and check for accidental omissions or repeated delivery copies.
5. Verify the export before sending it.
Open the final delivery folders, check images from each chapter, and reconcile the delivered set against your intended selection. Confirm that you have not included rejected edits, duplicate filenames from different cameras, or files from another job.
Mizan exports organized copies without changing the originals. It does not replace your backup system or your final delivery review. If you upload to a client gallery service, check the uploaded version as well: folder handling and ordering depend on the service you use.
