Top 10 wedding photographers edit services reviews

Professional photographers edit services reviews.

Professional photo editing service is a must-have or a whim? Wedding photographers edit their pictures using different software programs but when it’s the beginning of a new season, the best option is to hire a professional photo editing company to finish all the orders. I have gathered the most helpful wedding photography editing companies reviews to give you more information before you choose the best one.

It is quite evident that the more photos you take the more work you have, especially it relates to the professional wedding photography. Sometimes wedding photographers edit their pictures asking no help and enjoying therefore the greater professional independence, but it is a contradictory question. Photo editing services are aimed to contribute to better quality of your work and your good reputation which isn’t easy to establish. In our modern world people value time and that’s why no one wants to wait long. Clients can ask for their wedding photos even next week after the shooting. In my practice I usually try to have 2-4 months to process the photos and give them back to clients. But I can’t say for sure that during this period I will find one or two days in order for me to concentrate and do my job. Photographers edit photos longer that their colleagues - editors and retouchers, as their main source of income is taking photos, not editing.

A wedding photographer is apt to collaborate with a photo editing company that offers professional services. I often outsource my photo post processing. However it is rather complicated as the choice of a professional photo editing service affects the ultimate results. Photos being retouched by a photography editing service reflect my professional image and reputation.                         

I am not even going to tell you about the difficulties and problems I faced while working with freelancers on freelancing sites. A tremendous amount of photo editing work was put into the project – I spent so much time and energy. In the long run I deleted my profile from freelancing site and I am unlikely to ask for their photo editing services as they are really of little help for me.

Previously I worked with my friend, a retoucher and photo editor. He provided me with professional photo editing carring out my orders connected with the batch photo processing. He used to cope with the tasks during 30 or 40 days and I was quite satisfied with the results. The benefit was that he was trustworthy and I could rely on him after 3 or 4 orders. I knew what to expect – wedding photography editing provided by him was very nice. However, I`d like to say, that the price wasn`t that so low. I gave him 250-400 dollars for the batch photo processing and retouching of 5-10 wedding photos. But unfortunately, last year he told me that I had to find a new editor since he had found a different job. I was at a loss, I knew I’d die without help of a wedding photo editor, since it was the 20th of August - the season peak!

So, I`d like to tell you about my searching for the best wedding photo editing company in this review. To begin with, I should mention what a professional photo editing company is to do and what its duties are. Besides I need to say about wedding photo editing and what it consists of.

Usually the wedding photo editing service will ask you to send the RAWs, JPEGs or Lightroom Catalogue (with previews) for the post processing. They can process the photos with the help of a photo editing software, for example Lightroom or Capture One Pro. As for me it is more convenient for the post processing to be edited in Adobe Lightroom CC, since I use Lightroom CC (in my opinion it is the best program for wedding photo editing) and prefer sending files for the processing in Lightroom catalogue in order to spare time. Thus, I can get back Lightroom catalogue or files in JPEG or TIIFs.

I reckon that the professional photo editing services should definitely provide their clients with the following:                                

•  color correction with the required white balance and natural skin color;

•   the work with exposure and tone;

•   maintain the quality in white and black;

•   the work with sharpness, image noise;

•   the work with highlights and shadows;

•   the horizon straightening.

These are the basic professional image editing services. The higher level of work requires more professional approach and maintain the photographers’ style and their individual features.

How do I assess the quality of a wedding photo editing service? I believe it means that you get the best photo post processing that doesn’t violates photographer’s style, is delivered in the shortest time and for the minimal price. With that you don’t need to spend much time on the order submitting, because customer service and website usability are of the high quality. Moreover the photo samples need to be of the same level as the whole impression from the website. In conjunction with these criteria I`m going to add the next points:

1.   Overall estimate

2.   Quality of fulfilled photo editing work

3.   Maintenance of photographers’ style

4.   Batch photo post processing cost

5.   Photo editing price

6.   Average turn around time

7.   Estimate time of adjustments and revisions

8.   Photo uploading and downloading time

9.   The quality of the information provided on the website

I sent the order to more or less 10 wedding photo editing companies. My order consisted of the wedding photo set and I asked to do the following:                                             

Choose the best 700 photos from 1100 images, divide them into 3 categories and slightly retouch 10 pictures.

I attached 3 samples from each wedding. Overall, my style is simple. I don’t like when the images are over processed. I love vibrant colors but again not overdone. I don't like the neon color grass. I asked not to change the color of the bridesmaid dress. Just punched it up a little. I attached some examples. Also I asked to send me a couple of samples to approve the quality before proceeding with the whole set.

I am not going to show the results I got from those photography editing services, but I`d like to share my reviews. There is a review of 10 professional photo editing services in order for you to see the quality and level of their proficiency and how they met my demands – the demands of a customer with average requirements. I won`t say which photo editing company I’ve chosen, but I want you to know that some of these photography editing services I can definitely recommend to my friends and colleges.

TOP 10 Wedding Photographers’ editing companies review.

Photographers Edit - photography editing services reviews

When I saw Photographers edit site for the 1st time I was in raptures. My initial impression was rather positive, I was sure that Photographers edit was the professional photo editing service that I needed. During the first search “Wedding photographers edit” this one came out on the 1st place. Then I read several positive reviews on the authoritative websites and it gave me even more confidence that I found the photo editing service suitable for me. But unfortunately, Photographers edit failed to justify the status of one of the best photography editing services.

Judging from the structure of Photographers edit site, it looks as if it was quite easy to use and there were no extra buttons that could confuse or mislead me. Nevertheless, Photographers edit disappointed me, as they’ve got wrong usability. It comes natural that I wanted to see some pictures or look through photo sessions that were processed by Photographers edit team, because it was interesting for me to see how they feel about colors and balance keeping. However, I didn’t find any example of professional photo editing I could be captured by. That was little Photographers edit showed to their clients. Not much! It seems to me that it is possible to find more info in the photographers edit reviews on other websites but not on their own website...

Then, let`s come to the order. Photographers edit site took a lot of my time, as I had to tick all the points and read all the footnotes to these points for me to find out what kind of photography editing services I exactly wanted. Photographers edit had so many questions and it was lasting too long and tedious.

Guys, I just want you to process my photos as in example! Photographers edit, I am not going to be the part of your team! I just want to get good photos.                     

The process of preparation and uploading samples and the photos for my order took 30% of my work time which I could spend on editing wedding photos by myself. A few times server showed error to me while uploading the photos on Photographers edit site and asked me to start everything from the very beginning. At that very moment I wanted to get photographers edit coupon code. It is possible to find out the price for Photographers edit photo editing service only after having filled all the points in the form! Oh my God! Where is my photographers edit coupon code I wonder? I was a little bit annoyed.                                                                                         

For the batch photo processing plus selection of 700 photographs from 1000 and for editing of several RAWs which I asked to return in JPEG I gave 196 dollars. Photographers edit don`t charge so little in comparison to other companies engaged in professional photo editing. Besides, I got the message in which Photographers edit offered me to pay more and become a Premium member for 99 dollars. Being Premium member I can get dedication of Photographers edit team and guaranteed fast photo editing services. It is inevitable in my case, since I want my style preserved as well as professional photo editing done. At this rate every month I have to pay to Photographers edit 99 dollars even if I have no orders.

The quality of Photographers edit wedding photo editing services is very low, white balance wasn`t fixed well. Post processing doesn`t match my style. For that level of work Photographers edit could give me at least one photographers edit coupon code to get a discount.                                     

Photographers edit answered to my corrections rather quickly and after fixing I accepted the work. But since I failed to make the order for the photo editng at once, I had to make it once again and wait for the price. Photographers edit take 1 dollar for the minute of their photo editng work and thus I needed to pay 18 dollars for one picture and that was quite expensive. And that Photographers edit asked me to pay for slight photo editing! 180 dollars for ten photographs. It was beyond my budget and that is why I can`t assess the quality of photography editing services by Photographers edit team.

Wedding Retouching - photography editing services reviews

This wedding photo editing website looks quite simple, but it took some difficulties to find samples of works for color correction.            

I have visited a great amount of pages but that was of little help for me – I saw only photography editing work samples where they applied much professional photo editing techniques and they may have used the best photo editing software.                                                                                        

However I had to write in online chat after having submitted the order to understand what Wedding retouching team does – either they specialize in simple color correction or they can perform more complicated professional wedding photography editing.

The prices for their wedding photo editing services are rather low in comparison to others in the list. They ask 0,2 for the color correction and 0,05 for the culling. You can also save some money if you order Wedding package where you pay 99 dollars for 700 photographs. And my editing package costed 149 dollars.                                        

I was unsure about what photo editing level I had to choose – either 2 or 5 dollars per photo. It wasn`t quite convenient and for that reason I had to ask support team for a help. It pleased me that they were quick to answer.

Turnaround for completion of the wedding photography editing was 5 standard days and I didn`t want to overpay for the urgency.

The quality of their wedding photo editing services suited me and I didn`t alter anything. But I asked Wedding Retouching to add grain to the photos in order for them to match my style 100%. I received my wedding photos edited next day.   

We Edit Photos - photography editing services reviews

As far as I can judge the website was under re-construction and I didn’t find their photo editing portfolio and I couldn`t see how they edit wedding photos and other kinds of images. In comparison to Photographers edit their website was less convenient. I was even skeptical about this website, because I thought it was a new service and they may haven’t had any work experience. There were lots of samples of photo editing work, but there were no color correction samples exactly for wedding photo editing services.

The price wasn`t high, as I paid 159 dollars altogether for the wedding package. It was the lowest price among the other photo editing services. Well, I believe that 0,2 dollars per photo for the color correction isn`t high price at all and I can afford to pay this money and not to edit wedding photos by myself.

After registration I again asked the support for some help and they promised me that within one month their website would be ready and I wouldn`t have to waste my time and communicate with the support team.

The order was fulfilled in 4 days. This is quite fast, if taking into account that I didn`t pay for the urgency.

I liked the quality of their wedding photography editing and I didn`t have to ask them to fix anything. I was satisfied with this wedding photo editing service.

Photo Editing Company - photography editing services reviews

I didn`t like the website from the first sight unlike Photographers edit ones, they specialize in many types of photo editing. But when I found a wedding editing section, everything became clear to me, since all the necessary information was on one page. There were no hidden sub-items, commissions and nuances in terms of wedding photography editing. They have good price – their professionals took 0,25 dollars per photo for my order plus free selection. In total I paid 175 dollars for their wedding editing work. The lowest price for the photo editing work is 1,9 dollars per photo.

Despite the fact that it was a Philippine service, order submitting and files uploading were quite fast and I didn`t waste much time as in case with Photographers edit.

I can say that earlier I didn`t like India`s outsourcing for wedding photo editing services, but I was pleasantly surprised having cooperated with these guys. They are well organized and have highly qualified wedding photography editing service.

Unfortunately, the quality of their editing wasn`t that I wanted. But in the ratio of the price to quality we can say that it was normal quality.

I`d advise to use this website for not very serious orders that don`t need advanced editing of the wedding sets.

Fix The Photo - photography editing services reviews

The site looks very convenient, but unfortunately they don`t have in pricing the prices for color correction. I have found this info after long sought on page of editing wedding photography in the service section. It isn`t convenient and I hope that they will certainly fix it.

I couldn`t upload the order to the site. They sent me the link for the file upload. It isn`t very handy, but in such a way I didn`t have to find out how to use the site.

The price is 0,2 dollars per photo plus selection 0,05 dollars per photo. My order costed 190 dollars and that is rather inexpensive. I also asked for retouching work, since they are specialized in retouching and I ordered pictures that wedding photo editor processed for 2 and 5 dollars.                                                           

I got my fulfilled order in five days together with retouching and I didn`t pay for the urgency. If I had overpaid for wedding photo edit, I would have been able to get the photos even in 2 days.

I accepted the order with some slight revisions. But all of them were fixed within 2 hours and that is why I have no claims concerning the quality of wedding photography edit.

Shoot Dot Edit - photography editing services reviews

Shootdotedit is the most complicated and tiresome among those sites I`ve come across. Only imagine, you need to give shootdotedit site your e-mail to open pages with shootdotedit pricing. But after that they send you their advertisement. Nevertheless, having given my e-mail I didn`t manage to understand shootdotedit pricing. Shootdotedit team has 2 packages – one of them costs 119 dollars per month and the other – 299 dollars per month. That means, that I have to subscribe to shootdotedit flat fee, doesn`t it? So, you haven`t received any photos processed by a wedding photo editor from shootdotedit, no shootdotedit before and after, but you can be sure that they draw money from your card every month. In such a case even shoot dot edit promo code won`t help you. I thought that you could order wedding photography edit of one wedding ceremony and pay 119 dollars per month for 700 photos, but that was so before I found Additional Services and decided not to submit the order. My order that was connected with editing wedding photography costed 269 dollars plus annual subscription that made me pay shootdotedit 119 dollars per month. Nice shootdotedit pricing! Taking into account the fact that I don`t need wedding photography edit during the winter I suppose that I just give money to shootdotedit and that is all. I`ve come across alike comments in some shoot dot edit reviews.                                                                                               

As for the order placement on shootdotedit site it is quite a complicated process as you have to spend all day in order to make it. It is necessary to watch shootdotedit video instruction on their youtube channel. The shootdotedit video lasts 26 minutes and you need to watch it several times. And you should certainly do that since it helps to understand how you can send photos for post processing to shootdotedit site. You`re just wasting your time and energy! I need to sit in front of the computer during 3 or 4 hours submitting the order of post processing, but during this time I can easily process the photographs by myself. I`ve spent lots of time and gave up that process in the middle. I can`t assess the quality of shootdotedit work and shootdotedit retouching for which they ask you to give 50 or 60 dollars per hour (if I understood the system of shootdotedit pricing in the right way and read all the info in other shoot dot edit reviews).                                                        

I don`t like such difficulties and inconveniences that I encountered while working with shootdotedit, and I am sure that I don`t have any desire to work with them again. Shootdotedit pricing is unreasonable and I strongly believe that they don`t use best wedding photo editing software.                            

You won`t get shoot dot edit promo code and won`t find shootdotedit’s before and after on the site. However, having such prices they could easily give you shoot dot edit promo code, at least once a year. What`s more I didn`t find any shoot dot edit reviews that also disappointed me. It was just the waste of time and efforts and I wouldn`t like to work with them.

FotoFafa - photography editing services reviews

The information on the site is presented in a simple and understandable way. It is quite easy to use even if you visit site for the first time. I can say that I`m satisfied and can write something positive in some of the Fotofafa reviews. I didn`t give them 10 only because their photo samples were too small and I consider it to be unprofessional.

Color correction prices aren’t the lowest – from 0,21 dollar per photo and 0,08 for culling. My order costed 255 dollars.   

I submitted my order quickly and uploaded photographs without any problems.

My order was ready within 5 days – it is quite fast for such kind of work.                                                              

 As for the feedback – I had to write a couple of clarifying questions to their e-mail address. They answered me during 2 days and that, of course, this prolonged the process a little bit. Moreover it was necessary to send some fixing in terms of my order. I also got the answer withing 2-3 days. The same info I’ve read in other Fotofafa reviews.

The quality of work is not very high. It can be suitable for simple orders and unpretentious clients. I didn`t like their try to preserve my style as they added too much yellow and lost the info in white. That’s what I asked them to alter. I’m more than sure that they failed to use best program for wedding photo editing in a proper way, I mean Lightroom, Photoshop or Capture One Pro.              

As for the retouching the price is high – 1 dollar for 1 minute, but the quality leaves something to be desired. That isn’t their strongest point and specialists who wrote alike Fotofafa reviews agree with me.

Evolve Edits - photography editing services reviews

It is modern and good-looking site with beautiful photographs and videos, but I had to scan 10 pages to find out how to place the order. The gallery of works is full of eye-catching pictures. The photos are very delightful but the post processing isn’t that of high quality. I also have a question about the kinds of post processing they use and besides I have read such question in the one more evolve edits review.                                                             

When I tried to understand their pricing, the service turned out to be one of the most expensive ones, if you don`t subscribe to monthly flat fee and don`t get membership. The price for color correction was 0,3 dollar per photo and for selection – 0,05 dollar per image plus saving a picture as JPEG file costed 20 dollars. I gave 280 dollars for my order and photo retouching of higher levels was 70 dollars per hour. Concerning the above mentioned info I have read some other peculiarities in other evolve edits review.

For order placement I spent 24 hours of consultation by e-mail in terms of my choice of services and the level of post processing. I asked them to use best program for wedding photo editing and I believe it was quite reasonable. Customer service worked in a proper way, since they had too many additional services and levels of post processing, it led to the loss of time. Unfortunately, they didn`t give me evolve edits promo code. However, I think if you become their regular customer you may get desired one.                                                                

The quality of work satisfied me only after several revisions. The level of evolve edits professionalism isn’t high and it wasn’t easy for them to meet my demands from the 1st time.

I didn`t order retouching, because to my mind it is too expensive to pay 70 dollars per hour. In this case I wouldn’t say no if they offered me evolve edits promo code and I’ll work with them in the future. That`s what I wanted to say in my evolve edits review.

Vital edit on request “photographers edit on the 2nd page”

The site looks ok and it is easy to understand. As in the majority of services for photographers they showed good quantity of photo samples and that’s wonderful and helpful. Their advantage was also that I found the pricing almost at once and quickly submitted my order. It is convenient and modern site, as that was said in one of the vital edit reviews.

 As far as the samples of photographs is concerned I couldn`t assess the level of quality of their service, the feeling of light and it was even difficult to understand whether they were able to fulfill my order or not. As for the other vital edit reviews I came across, I saw the same doubts.                                                          

When it comes to drawbacks I want to mention that their customer service didn`t work well. The telephone hasn`t answered during two days, and they wrote me on my e-mail only on the third day. The price for photo post processing had lots of additional services. My order for post processing costed there 307 dollars. But the price for retouching was 3 dollars per photo and that was unacceptable for me. That is why it was pleasant to get vital edit promo code.

The quality of work was average. I had to asked for the revisions and fixing my order 2 times. They didn`t take money for that, but they were fixing my photos other 5 days.

After the second fixing and long wait as well as waste of my time and their support I was lucky to get the photos I wanted. I almost did not have to do any other edits for my order by myself.

Retouch Up - photography editing services reviews

On this site I also wasted plenty of my time. From the first sight it looks very interesting, but then you begin to understand the pricing, conditions of work, photo editing samples only after you have placed your order. I saw lots of complaints in other Retouchup reviews as it seems to me that it’s easier to find the way how Lightroom or Photoshop works rather than their website. Tones of the info that you had to read and agree with, a huge amount of buttons in the account that led you everywhere but not to the photo editing order page. I tried to save my time by submitting the order on their website, but I just spent hours looking for the right button to press. The same can be said about the photo editing samples that I didn’t find. It was like a blind order. I suppose they could give me a Retouchup coupon for that inconveniences.                                                                                                                  

The price for their photo editing services isn`t low and my order costed 290 dollars, but I failed to order selections since I couldn`t find it there. That is why I had to do it by myself. Guys, you really have to give at least one Retouchup coupon to your clients! The price for photo editing was 5 dollars per image. Again, it isn’t very low. However it is better if we compare it to work per hour. Lots of Retouchup reviews told about that.

The quality of photo editing was low. Even after 5 revisions I wasn`t satisfied with the quality of their work: no color correction, no retouching, and still no Retouchup coupon to save money. One of the advantages is quick communication on e-mail and time of getting back the revisions and the order in general. It is the quickest service I’ve come across and the same I read in other Retouchup reviews. But, unfortunately, the fastest doesn`t mean the best one for me.
