V/04 Graded for feeling, matched for consistency

Wedding video color grading.

Log footage in, a finished look out. We match every camera, protect skin tones under mixed lighting, and apply your signature grade so each wedding looks like it belongs in your portfolio.

The service

What video color grading with Alpha Edits looks like

Wedding days are brutal on color. Morning window light, tungsten hotel rooms, midday sun at the ceremony, and LED uplighting at the reception — often shot on two or three different camera bodies. Matching all of that is the difference between a film that feels cinematic and one that feels stitched together.

We correct first — exposure, white balance, and camera matching — then apply your creative look. Skin tones are protected throughout, so the bride doesn't turn orange under tungsten or grey under an overcast sky.

What's included

  • Log and raw footage handled with correct color-space transforms.
  • Shot-by-shot exposure and white-balance correction.
  • Multi-camera and drone matching so angles cut together seamlessly.
  • Skin-tone protection under mixed and colored lighting.
  • Your creative look or LUT applied consistently across the film.

Why Alpha Edits

Consistency is the real product

A great grade on one film is easy. The same grade across forty weddings, shot in different light on different cameras, is what builds a recognizable brand. That's why your look is documented and applied by the same editor every time.

Every graded film passes a second-editor check on skin tones, highlights, and camera matching before it ships.

How it works

Four steps. One editor. Two sets of eyes.

01
Brief & reference

Share your files, a reference look, and your delivery spec. We lock the style before we start.

02
Edit

Your dedicated editor works the whole job for consistency — not a rotating cast.

03
Two-pass quality check

A second editor reviews color, retouch, pacing, and audio against your reference.

04
Deliver on deadline

Files arrive in your naming and format spec, on the date we promised. Revisions included.

Questions, answered

Wedding Video Color Grading — FAQ

Do you grade log footage?

Yes. We handle common log profiles such as S-Log3, C-Log, V-Log, and similar, using the right color-space transforms before applying your look.

Can you grade a film I've already edited?

Yes. Send a locked timeline or XML/EDL with media, and we'll grade and return it.

Can you match my existing LUT or look?

Yes. Send your LUT or a few reference frames from past films and we'll match it, then refine shot by shot.

How do you handle mixed lighting at receptions?

We correct each shot for its own light source and protect skin tones with secondary corrections, so faces stay natural even under colored uplighting.
