See Your Wedding in Every Style: True to Color, Ember & Film (Side by Side comparison)
When you’re choosing a wedding photographer, you’re also choosing how your memories will feel every time you look at them. That’s why I offer three distinct editing styles, True to Color, Ember, and Film, and why this post includes side by side comparisons of each look next to the original image.
As you scroll, you’ll see the same photo in three versions:
True to Color
Ember
Film
This way, you can clearly see how each style transforms the same moment while still keeping your story honest and beautiful.
(true to color- true to color= no change)
True to Color
What it looks like:True to Color celebrates the authentic beauty of your day exactly as you designed it. This style honors your chosen palette of the florals, linens, bridesmaids’ dresses, and all the little details you spent time curating. By prioritizing natural skin tones and the original vibrance of your setting, we create a timeless, versatile gallery where every memory feels as radiant and real as the moment it happened.
The Fit: True to Color is the perfect fit for couples who:
Put a lot of thought into their color palette and want it to stay exactly as envisioned
Love clean, natural tones
Want their photos to feel classic, true to life, and flattering in any season or setting
In the comparison images, look for how the True to Color edit keeps your flowers, décor, and outfits looking just like they did in person simply polished and elevated.

Ember
What it looks like:Designed for the couple who dreams of a moody, warm, editorial gallery, Ember brings a sophisticated depth to your memories. This style weaves together rich, painterly contrast with enhanced complementary tones, while still keeping skin tones natural and flattering. The result is a timeless look that feels both dramatic and deeply romantic like your favorite cozy, candlelit evening turned into a visual story.
The Fit: Ember is perfect if you:
Are drawn to cozy, romantic settings
Love warm, rich tones and a slightly moodier feel
Are planning an autumn or winter wedding, outdoor ceremony, or celebration at a historic or rustic venue
In the side by side comparisons, notice how Ember adds depth to the shadows, warmth to the highlights, and a cinematic richness that makes each frame feel like a piece of art.

Film
What it looks like:Inspired by the timeless romance of 35mm film, Film creates a nostalgic, cinematic legacy through hazy depth, intentional grain, and soft, ethereal light. We preserve your natural skin tones while embracing an editorial aesthetic that feels like a classic movie still. This style is all about emotion and atmosphere: gentle, dreamy, and full of quiet magic.
The Fit: Film is perfect for couples who:
Are drawn to venues with soft natural light (think gardens, estates, open fields, or bright indoor spaces)
Love the look of old film photographs and classic cinema
Want their gallery to feel like a romantic, museum‑worthy film still
In the comparisons, look for the subtle grain, softened highlights, and dreamy glow that give the Film edit its nostalgic, storybook quality.

How to Choose Your Style
As you scroll through the galleries and compare each version, ask yourself:
Which edit feels most like us?
Which one matches the vibe of our venue and décor?
Which style would we love to see in an album or framed on our walls?
There’s no “right” choice, only the one that feels most like your love story.
You can choose one signature style for your full gallery. The style you choose doesn't change the truth of the moment, but it certainly colors the way you remember the atmosphere.
