WHAT'S TRENDING?

A short Essay by Tye Acierto

Editing The Modern Wedding Photography

Let's talk about editing! While I often choose an editing style that suits each particular event, I'm also versatile and can adapt to the couple's desired style. Here are some modern photo-editing trends popular in wedding photography circles:

Light and Airy: Bright, soft, and dreamy.
Nostalgic Film-Look (Dark and Moody): Rich, dramatic, and vintage-inspired.
Color-Faithful: True-to-life, vibrant, and natural.

Light and Airy wedding photography Chicago

UN-EDITED ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPHS (by Ty Acierto)

Light and Airy: A modern favorite and a winning trend! This style is reminiscent of Claude Monet's paintings with his use of ocean greens and pale color palettes. You've likely seen this editing style in countless wedding magazines and high-end professional photographers' portfolios. It creates an illusion of brightness and a clean look by favoring negative space (the air) within the composition, almost entirely rejecting darker values. As a result, the photographs appear "dreamy" and surreal. Compared to the barely retouched photos, this style lifts the dark shadows to accentuate the lighter values in the frame, resulting in a lighting composition close to a 1:1 ratio.

Dark and moody wedding photography chicago

The Film-Look / Dark and Moody: There are no official names for the color schemes I'm discussing here, so we can even call this "Mary's Warm Tone Look"! If you’re into warmer tones and preserving the shadows in your photos, then this style is for you. The colors, although desaturated, remain true to the subject's natural color value. This style is becoming increasingly popular, thanks to celebrities on social media who embrace the nostalgic look of film negatives. Personally, I adore this type of editing, where nature plays a significant role in the aesthetics. It’s an ideal choice for portraits set in lush green or golden fields, especially during the magic hour at sunset. This style also works beautifully with urban settings and city landscapes.

Color Faithful: Simple yet elegant! The color-faithful editing style aims to balance contrast and highlights while staying true to the original colors of the subjects in the frame. Despite its simplicity, this style requires a meticulous approach. For instance, if you don’t want the color of your bouquet altered in post-processing (especially after spending a year finding the perfect shade of blue for that ribbon), make sure to mention this to your photographer. This might be the best option for you! The lighting and exposure need to be as close to perfection as possible. Relying on "fixing it in post-production" may not work well if the event was covered with a "Bright and Airy" style in mind. The shadows, dark values, and highlights are the key elements the editor focuses on during post-production with this style. I favor this approach for couples who desire very little editing to their photographs, preserving the look as close to the RAW files with minor adjustments.

Well, there you have it! These are just a few of the current editing trends for your wedding photography. Remember, these are only sample styles, and there are countless other options available. The only rule is to follow what you desire. No photographer should ever dictate the mood of your photos unless you’ve given them the full responsibility and freedom to do so. I offer free consultations, so please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about finding your wedding photographer. Even if I'm not your photographer, I'm happy to lend a helping hand and share my knowledge to help you make an informed decision. Contact me anytime if you need help with your wedding photography planning!

Many can take photos but few can tell lasting stories. Contact me for a free consultation.

It's your Big Day! Don't compromise, hire a Professional!
