• Storytelling is a huge part of my brand, and it’s one of my favorite ways to document people’s love stories. I wanted to create edits that reminded me of all my favorite classic romcom movies so I can make each session feel unique in its own way. A documentary and cinematic style of photography is on the rise, so I decided to make photographers’ lives easier by sharing the base presets I use, mimicking those soft and muted tones while still maintaining the natural feel that old love movies have.  I know that a lot of us creatives struggle with color grading and simply cannot put our finger on the tones we are trying to achieve – as if something’s missing. I spent countless hours studying the color grade of movies that inspired these tones and even getting feedback from a couple of retired filmmakers. I actually had no intentions of creating this preset pack, but after tons of experimentation with different edits, I noticed that I started to master the vintage and nostalgic feel, and I simply could not resist sharing these recipes with you.  These presets have seriously made my editing process significantly smoother when trying to achieve this style of editing. I absolutely love incorporating these edits into all sessions, even weddings. It amazes me how a simple click can add so much life to a photo and make it actually feel like a movie scene. The Cinematic preset consists of 13 presets.

This preset was inspired by portra film stock shot with point-and-shoot cameras, having a pop in color and minimal grain. This preset is used in just about every wedding gallery I send out.
