Planning your wedding day? Let’s chat about something that can ruffle a few feathers: editing or adding filters to your photos. As your Cincinnati wedding photographers, we’re here to give you the inside scoop—with a bit of fun and sarcasm, of course. Spoiler: filters might not be your friend here. Let’s dive in!

Editing or Adding Filters to Your Photos: Why It’s a No-No

Ever frowned at your photographer’s contract and wondered why it says you can’t edit or add filters to your final photos? It’s not just us being picky. Those photos are a representation of our work, and slapping on a random filter can make them look completely different. Before you start tweaking, consider how it might affect the artistry you fell in love with and how it’s perceived by potential clients.

Match Made in Editing Heaven

Photographers spend countless hours editing to match their signature style. Think of it as their creative fingerprint. When you’re in the wedding planning phase, choose a Cincinnati photography team whose style makes you swoon. If you’re not into their editing vibe, that’s totally fine—but don’t hire them. Save yourself (and your photographer) the heartache by picking someone whose work you can’t wait to hang on your walls.

What If Something’s Off?

Let’s say you’ve gotten your gallery, but there’s something about the editing that’s bugging you. Don’t panic! Reach out to your photographer. Most professionals will happily collaborate to address any concerns. Above all, honest feedback helps us grow and ensures you’re thrilled with your final photos. Communication beats filters every time.

Keep It Timeless

Here’s the thing: You paid good money for these photos, so let the professional’s work shine. Adding a trendy filter might seem fun now, but it’ll date your photos faster than bell-bottom jeans. Trust us, classy and timeless wins every time. You’ll thank yourself when you’re showing off your album in 20 years.

Final Thoughts on Editing or Adding Filters to Your Final Photos

Editing or adding filters to your photos might seem tempting, but we promise your photographer’s work is already top-notch. By hiring someone whose style you adore and keeping those photos filter-free, you’ll ensure your wedding memories stay stunning and timeless. After all, this day is about celebrating your love, not figuring out which Instagram filter hides Uncle Bob’s questionable dance moves.
