Often, wedding clients come to me with questions on retouching. “What is it?” “What exactly is done?” My definition of retouching is accenting the positive and reducing the negative aspects of a picture. It is a fine art; great care must be taken not to go to far or the result will look contrived. The trick is to create a wedding photo, that when viewed on its own, looks as if it could have just been taken that way.

As to how exactly retouching is done… Well, that is why clients hire me. I can’t give away all the secrets of my outstanding wedding photos. I can, however, make your photos look like they could be on the cover of Vogue.
