Unlike many London wedding photographers, who apply a single signature look to every wedding they shoot, I don’t believe one style fits everyone. Some photographers are known for heavy black and white coverage, others for ultra-vibrant colour or Instagram-led filters that look great on a phone but date quickly. My approach is more flexible. I use a range of editing styles and colour finishes, chosen to suit the couple, the light and the feel of the day.

One of the most popular finishes I’m using at the moment is a rich, deep, slightly desaturated colour palette with gently crushed blacks. This image is a good example of that approach. The colours feel grounded and calm rather than punchy, and the shadows have weight without swallowing detail. It works particularly well for urban weddings, winter light, and venues with strong architectural features, but it can be just as effective at summer weddings where couples want something a little less glossy.

The style you choose for your wedding photographs has a bigger impact than most people realise. It doesn’t just affect how the images look on screen, but how they feel when you come back to them years later. Colour treatment shapes mood. It nudges memory. A warm, saturated edit can make a day feel energetic and celebratory, while a more muted palette often feels reflective and timeless.

That’s why I talk to couples about editing style early on. I want the finished photographs to feel like an honest reflection of the day you actually had, not a preset applied after the fact. Trends change quickly, especially in wedding photography, but thoughtful colour choices tend to age far better.

In the end, good editing shouldn’t draw attention to itself. It should support the story, the atmosphere and the people in the frame, letting you remember your wedding as it really felt.
