For Wedding Photographers
A Wedding Photo Editor Who Edits Like You
Peak season is when editing falls behind: six weddings in a month, thousands of frames to cull, and couples waiting for their gallery. A dedicated wedding photo editor takes that work off your desk without you hiring staff or handing your look to a stranger.
Before the first wedding, your editor studies your presets and your finished galleries, then edits a trial wedding you check against your own work. After that, the same editor handles every gallery, so the look stays the same from the first wedding of the season to the last.
Only need one backlog cleared? See per-photo wedding editing.
What your editor does
- Culls the full card down to your final selection
- Edits colour and exposure in your Lightroom style
- Matches a second shooter’s camera to yours
- Retouches skin on portraits and family groups
- Sends sneak-peek images first, the full gallery after
What to send before the trial
- Your Lightroom presets or camera profiles
- 20 to 30 finished images from two or three recent weddings
- A short note on skin, crops and black-and-white
- The RAW files of one wedding for the trial
Video Editors
Hire a Dedicated Video Editor
The same model for video: an editor who works only on your footage, learns your cuts, captions and colour grade, and delivers on the schedule you set. Priced on your monthly volume.

Common Questions
Hiring an editor questions
Can I hire a video editor through Pinnacle Edits?
Yes. A dedicated video editor works only on your footage, learns your cuts, captions and colour grade, and delivers on the schedule you set. Video editing is priced on a custom quote based on the hours and footage you send each month, and we quote within 24 hours. That covers short-form reels, long-form YouTube, wedding films, real estate walkthroughs, and corporate, event and podcast videos.
How do I hire a photo editor for photographers and studios?
Book a consultation to discuss your volume and editing style, and we match you with an editor who specialises in your niche. A 2-week trial confirms the style match before onboarding. A part-time editor (80+ hours a month) is $600 a month and a full-time editor (160+ hours a month) is $1,100 a month, both with a 6-month minimum.
How does a dedicated editor compare with freelance video editing services?
A dedicated video editor works only on your footage, learns your style, and delivers on the schedule you set, priced on your monthly hours and footage. Your files are covered by an NDA and secure file transfer, and video work includes three revision rounds. For a fuller side-by-side, see our comparison of a freelancer vs. an editing company.
Where can I hire a wedding photo editor who matches my style?
Send us your presets and a few finished galleries, and we match you with an editor who specialises in weddings. They edit a trial wedding first, so you can compare it with your own work before you commit. A part-time editor is $600 a month and a full-time editor $1,100 a month.
My editor quit in the middle of wedding season. How quickly can you help?
Book a consultation and send the most overdue wedding as the trial. While your dedicated editor learns your style, our per-photo wedding editing can clear the backlog.
What should I send an editor so they match my Lightroom style?
Your presets or camera profiles, 20 to 30 finished images from two or three recent weddings, and a short note on how you handle skin, crops and black-and-white. For the trial wedding, send the RAW files. The more finished work we see, the closer the first gallery comes back to yours.
Is it okay to outsource wedding editing without telling my couples?
Many wedding photographers outsource editing: you shoot, you set the style, and you approve every gallery before it goes out. Check what your client contract says about who edits. We sign an NDA, and client photos are never used to train AI.
How much does it cost to hire a video editor?
At Pinnacle Edits, a dedicated video editor is priced on a custom quote, sent within 24 hours, based on the hours and footage you send each month. Paying per video, short-form starts at $20, YouTube editing is $15–$20 an hour and wedding films start at $150.
