What questions should you ask a wedding photographer about editing and retouching?

Editing is where your photos come to life, so ask about it before you book. Ask how many fully edited photos you will receive, and whether that number is guaranteed or just an estimate. Ask what their editing style is. Do they use a light and airy look, a moody and dark look, or a true-to-life colour? Ask if they edit every photo or only select ones. Ask if retouching is included, such as removing blemishes, smoothing skin, or fixing flyaway hair. Ask if they retouch group shots, and how much retouching is too much. Ask if you can request extra edits after you see your gallery, and if there is a fee for that. Ask how long editing takes. Is it two weeks, four weeks, or longer? Ask if you receive a preview or a sneak peek before the full gallery. Ask if you get the high-resolution files and the print rights. Ask if they provide a print release for your own printing. These questions help you know exactly what you are paying for.
