Natural Wedding Photo Retouching

I have a set of wedding photos that need careful, detailed retouching. The priorities are straightforward:

• Remove any trace of blood-shot eyes so the couple looks fresh and well-rested.
• Refine the groom’s jawline just enough to look flattering—no plastic-smooth skin or cartoon-like contours.
• Apply balanced colour and exposure adjustments across the full gallery so the images feel cohesive while still looking like real life.
• The groom had a makeup artist put consealer under his eyes to hide the dark rings but this looks not natural - this needs correcting with the highest priority

I’m aiming for edits that hold up to close inspection yet never feel fake. Please preserve skin texture, natural grain, and the original mood of each shot. Final files should be delivered back to me at the original resolution (JPEG and, if supplied, RAW) with clearly named versions so I can compare before and after.

If this sounds like the kind of meticulous work you enjoy, I’d love to see a sample of your wedding retouching style or a quick proof on one frame.

I do photo editing myself but this is a time consuming project so I would prefer a freelancer to do it - afterall I havent gotten to it in over 14 years :) Budget range is between $50 and $120
