Ah, the age-old question couples always ask me on calls: ‘Is your editing true to colour?’ And honestly? It’s a brilliant question… Because your wedding photos should look like YOUR wedding, not some random Pinterest board where the grass is neon green, your skin’s gone Tango-orange, and your white dress is… well, not white. (Big yikes.)

So let’s break it down… What ‘true to colour’ actually means, what my style is, and why it matters when you’re choosing your photographer.

What True to Colour Means

True to colour basically means: things look like they did in real life. Your pink bouquet is pink, your bridesmaids’ dresses are the right shade, and your skin looks like your actual skin tone (not Oompa Loompa orange or ghostly pale). Simple, right?

But here’s the thing… photographers interpret that a little differently. Some go super clinical… Like a corporate headshot while others swing the other way, turning everything moody, desaturated or overly warm. Neither is wrong, but it’s worth knowing where your photographer sits

My Editing Style

This is where I land:

Natural skin tones (you look like you, just on your best day ever).
Whites that are actually white (your dress won’t look blue, promise).
Colours that feel like the day (flowers, décor, outfits… All recognisable, nothing weird).
A tiny bit of polish… Greens are softened slightly, contrast is clean, and the overall vibe is future-you approved. Think ‘true to colour… but flattering.’

What It’s Not

I’m not the photographer who:

Cranks up saturation until your grass glows.
Turns you orange because the ‘warm vibes’ got a little too warm.
Or goes so dark and moody you can’t see Aunt Linda’s face during speeches.

My editing is designed to look good now and still feel just as beautiful when you look back years from now. Call it classic, call it lasting… Basically, it’s built to hold up.

Why It Matters

Your wedding photos aren’t just for the ‘Gram this week… They’re the pictures you’ll frame, share with your kids, and look back on in ten years. True-to-colour editing keeps things natural, real, and lasting while still feeling stylish and modern. Basically: the sweet spot.

Final Thought

So if you’re wondering if my edits are true to colour: YES. 100%. True to colour… With just enough polish to make you feel like you’ve stepped into a wedding magazine spread without losing what your day actually looked like. Zero cringe, zero regrets. Just the good stuff.
