Hey Guys.

I haven’t made a post for a few days so I thought it was time to do one. Tonight I’m going to go through my usual editing process from taking the pictures at your wedding, to you receiving the final product printed at the end. I take great care and time on my pictures, hence there is a editing time before you even see your pictures from your wedding day ( Please note this is only usually about a week ). Below I have 3 of my steps from my editing process. If you click on any of the 3 pictures they will show a larger version.

1. Straight from the camera

This is a image from a wedding I done a while ago at St Mary’s Church in Southend-on-Sea. I purposely chose a shot that wasn’t a well exposed and “correct” shot to show the way my editing works.

2. The proof

This is how the proof will look that is uploaded onto your own private gallery on the website. I will make sure the picture is correctly exposed, curves, levels, fill light, saturation, vibrance and contrast. If you click on the larger image, you will notice that on the proof picture I haven’t done any work on the skin (blemishes). This is only done to the pictures that you choose. The reason being is it can take a lot of time and my aim is to get the pictures back to you as soon as possible!

3. The final product.

Once you have chosen the photos you would like to order, they are then completely re-edited. This means that I can spend a serious amount of time to get the photo to my high standards. Just a few of the things I will spend time on include: Skin blemishes, whiten eyes, teeth, smooth skin etc etc. As you can imagine, if you are ordering a lot of photos this can take quite a while. But I usually give an average turn around time of around 2 weeks until you get your photographs presented back.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

So that is a basic explanation of my editing process. I actually find it exciting improving the photographs and seeing the beautiful shots I end up with.

Some of you may be keen on shots that are black and white, sepia or have some colour selection in them, so where do they come in? I only change pictures into one of these colour tones if I think it improves it. Although now and then I am not sure which I prefer so there may be a chance that I just upload both for you to choose yourself.
