Wedding Photo Retouching for Photographers
A wedding shoot can yield hundreds, or even thousands, of photographs that require editing. This can be a tedious process, especially when another shoot is due or when a client is waiting to receive their gallery of images.
DESCREATE can handle the retouching while you concentrate on the photography. Simply send us your images and specify your requirements. We will tailor the edits to your instructions.
Before & After
Keep the Moment. Clean Up the Details.
The detail in a photograph often dictates a moment, but these little details can sometimes detract from the image. A stray hair, a distracting blemish or a momentary mark in an unimportant part of the photo may need to be removed. The process aims to ensure that these details are not apparent.
What We Retouch
What Goes Into Wedding Photo Retouching?
Each image requires different levels of attention. One image may only need a little skin retouching while another may need work on the clothing or the background. We assess the requirements of each image and determine the level of retouching needed.
SKIN RETOUCHING
Temporarily remove imperfections while maintaining the skin’s appearance.
FLYAWAY HAIR
Remove any stray hair while keeping the rest as is.
CLOTHING & FABRIC
Creases in gowns, suits, and veils get pressed out. Stray threads and small marks on the fabric go too.
BACKGROUND CLEANUP
Remove any unwanted objects or persons if necessary.
MINOR DISTRACTIONS
Anything that draws the eye away from the subject can be removed.
COLOUR & TONE
We balance the colours across the set so every frame feels like part of the same wedding gallery.
WEDDING PORTRAIT RETOUCHING
Give Their Favourite Wedding Portraits the Attention They Deserve
The portraits are often the favourite images of the couple, so it is important that they appear as perfect as possible. Removing some of the imperfections in the skin, hair, clothing and background can give these images the quality that the couple may desire. The images should still appear natural, and the couple should still be instantly identifiable.

WHY WEDDING RETOUCHING MATTERS
Make the Entire Wedding Gallery Feel Consistent
A wedding day is rarely consistent in terms of lighting, with the ceremony and portraits taking place in different locations and at different times of the day. When viewed as a gallery, the photographs should appear as if they are part of a single story, even if they were taken in vastly differing conditions.
Professional retouching keeps that level of finish consistent, without losing the subject’s natural appearance along the way.
