About the Role
We’re looking for a Photo Editor who understands that wedding photographs are not just images — they are emotional memories of people, families, relationships, and once-in-a-lifetime moments.
At Framed Memoirs, photo editing is not about applying presets blindly or making images look trendy. It is about preserving the honesty of real moments while elevating them through thoughtful colour, tone, skin correction, consistency, and storytelling sensitivity.
You will work on wedding galleries, couple shoots, portraits, family celebrations, and other emotionally driven photography projects. Your role will be to help create images that feel natural, timeless, cinematic, and deeply human.
This is a role for someone who has strong editing taste, patience, attention to detail, and the discipline to work within a structured post-production workflow.
About Framed Memoirs
Framed Memoirs is the wedding storytelling vertical of Framed.
We focus on creating emotionally immersive wedding photographs and films rooted in authenticity, relationships, nostalgia, and human connection.
We care deeply about emotion, atmosphere, storytelling, visual honesty, and timelessness. We’re building a team that values craft, discipline, ownership, and sensitivity toward human stories.
Key Responsibilities
1. Wedding & Portrait Photo Editing
- Edit wedding, couple shoot, portrait, and celebration images.
- Maintain natural, timeless, cinematic, and emotionally sensitive editing.
- Ensure consistency in skin tones, exposure, warmth, contrast, colour, and overall mood.
- Understand the emotional context of images and edit accordingly.
- Preserve the authenticity of moments while improving visual quality.

- Maintain consistency across large galleries and full wedding sets.
- Match the visual language of Framed Memoirs.
- Work with presets and references while applying personal judgement where needed.
- Ensure images feel cohesive across different lighting situations, events, and photographers.
3. Retouching & Image Refinement
- Perform basic to intermediate retouching in Photoshop where required.
- Clean distractions, minor blemishes, background disturbances, and visual inconsistencies.
- Retouch skin naturally while preserving texture and realism.
- Prepare selected images for albums, social media, and final client delivery.
4. Workflow & Project Discipline
- Organise Lightroom catalogs, folders, exports, and final files properly.
- Follow Framed’s internal folder structure, naming conventions, and export settings.

5. Photo Shortlisting & Selection
- Shortlist images from large wedding, couple shoot, portrait, and celebration galleries.
- Identify strong images based on emotion, composition, expressions, storytelling value, lighting, and technical quality.
- Remove duplicates, missed-focus images, awkward expressions, repetitive frames, and technically weak photographs.
- Select images that represent the full story of the event — people, rituals, details, emotions, décor, candids, portraits, and family moments.
- Assist in preparing selections for final edits, Director’s Cut, albums, blogs, and social media when required.
- Maintain balance between emotional value and visual quality while shortlisting.
- Understand the importance of key family members, important rituals, and client priorities while making selections.
- Follow Framed’s internal shortlisting standards and folder/category structure.
