RETOUCHING & PHOTO EDITING

FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS WHO'd rather be shooting

YOUR PERSONAL EDITOR

I've been editing professionally since 2016, and shooting weddings a little longer than that. I know what a late-night editing session with thousands of RAW images feels like. I know the ones that need a careful hand and the ones that just need a little tweaking. Most importantly, I know that your couples have trusted you with something irreplaceable — and that every image you deliver carries your name.


Whatever reason you've decided to outsource - you need more time, you generally don't enjoy editing, or you'd like a fresh set of eyes - I've got your back. That's why I treat every gallery I retouch as if it were my own. Behind every image is someone's memory — and your name.

WHAT I DO

Before a single image is touched, we establish your anchors - a handful of selects from your portfolio that define your look. Every edit that follows is calibrated against those, so your gallery comes back feeling like you, start to finish.


Culling

Working through your full shoot to select the strongest images. The ones that tell the story, hold up technically, and are worth your clients' attention. You get a curated, intentional gallery rather than everything that came off the card.


Colour, exposure, masking & cropping

Full correction in Lightroom or Adobe Camera Raw, depending on your workflow. Colour grading, exposure balancing, masking, and considered cropping across every culled image. Where straightforward removal work can be handled at this stage, it is. All of it edited against your anchors throughout.


Photoshop problem-solving

For the work that goes beyond what Lightroom or ACR can handle. Complex removals, guests in backgrounds, structural distractions, anything that needs a more considered approach. Each package includes a set number of Photoshop edits, with additional work available at a per image rate. What counts as a PS edit is outlined clearly in your agreement before we begin.


Working files, always

Everything is returned as working files. Your catalogue, your edits, your control. You can revisit, adjust, or build on anything delivered without starting from scratch.

FAQ

What is the turnaround time?

Turnaround times depends on the size of the project, and the amount of notice given. Weddings are typically turned around within 5 working days. Upon uploading the images, a return date will be confirmed. Rush fees may apply to projects not booked in advance.

Do I need to credit you?

No - ultimately I am a ghost editor. You are not required to credit me. However, if you want to tag me or share credit, I always appreciate it!

What is your process?

We start by chatting about your work and your needs. After we agree on a pricing structure, all you need to do is book your projects in, upload, and then let me do the rest. A full description of the process is given to every client.

What software do you use?

I use a combination of Adobe Bridge, Camera Raw and Photoshop. I prefer not to use Lightroom Catalogs, but let me know if you prefer it!

Do you use AI?

I try and stick to traditional editing as much as possible. AI software may be used during culling to speed up the process, but every final decision is 100% human.

Do you do custom quotes?

Yes! If you have a project that doesn't fit into the scope of my wedding packages, let me know and I can quote you.
