Actually you can set up a few other things before going to bed by opening a new window or new tab and going back to http://studiotran.zenfolio.com. Scroll down a bit to see what steps you can be doing next in the new window.
You can also do this during the day and have it uploading while you are working on other things. Its entirely up to you. But it will take about 3-5 hours. Just remember to hit upload at the bottom.

Most likely all the images are still uploading to Reception. But we can create the other galleries we are going to use.
Click on New and create galleries for:
Bridal Prep
Ceremony
Reception – already made and uploading too
Formals
If there was a grooms prep, which usually doesn’t have as many pictures as the brides, just still make one gallery but instead call it Bride & Groom Prep
You can click on the folders/icons and drag the around, so drag them into being in the right order.
Once all the images are uploaded you will be able to select the images and move them to the folder/gallery they should go in. You will highlight/select the images and click on Photo Actions and in that drop down menu select Move
It will ask you where to move them to, just select the gallery to move them too.
Move all the formals, like all the bride with bridesmaids, groom with groomsmen, after ceremony and so on formal portraits to the Formals folder.
