Post-processing is an essential part of wedding photography that enhances your images and ensures they look their absolute best. While your wedding day is beautifully captured in-camera, editing brings out the emotion, color, and detail in each shot. Here’s what to expect from the post-processing phase and how it transforms your wedding photos.
