How do we Edit photos and Retouch?

We are sure that almost all photos taken with a digital camera need editing. To avoid misunderstanding, we decided to clearly show and explain what we mean by editing and retouching.

We understand that shooting conditions are often far from ideal: it may be hot, it may be cold, makeup may not be perfect, or may change by the end of the day. Therefore, we make certain adjustments and retouch all major portraits where it is relevant. Here's what we do:

  • AI Denoise in cases where there is a lot of noise in the photos (wedding and reportage photos often need to be taken with the available light).
  • Remove pimples.
  • Smooth out the skin from any imperfections (this is relevant for difficult lighting or older brides and grooms).
  • Even out the skin tone (relevant if it’s hot or cold outside).
  • Whiten the teeth (even perfectly white teeth can appear yellowish in photos due to white balance or warm external light).
  • Whiten the eyes and remove visible red capillaries.
  • Highlight facial features.
This is not something that will be immediately obvious at first glance, but it creates a wow effect, especially if you have concerns about your appearance, difficult shooting conditions, etc. We don’t change your appearance or make you look thinner (unless it's for an additional fee), but the things listed above can significantly improve the final result.

Sometimes we get a little carried away and it turns out like this (such changes are not included in the price, but are possible for an additional fee)::
