TikToker Alexandra Jaye Conder‘s complaint about her wedding photographs has ignited a full-fledged debate on social media. It all started when Conder shared a video claiming that her wedding photographer’s sepia color grading turned everything orange and yellow.
The Allegation
The photographer, Han, is known for a style that emphasizes warm yellow tones. In the video, Conder admitted she liked the photos from her rehearsal dinner and wedding reception. However, on the actual wedding day, overcast weather affected the natural light. This impacted the warm tone-leaning editing style of the photographer, which Conder did not like. Although the photographer re-edited the photos, Conder remained dissatisfied. She requested the RAW files, but Han allegedly demanded $4,000 for them.
Photographers Share Their Views
The video went viral, prompting several photographers to share their professional opinions in the TikTok comments.
“I think these are all gorgeous. The editing is consistent, the difference is the lighting & background which plays a role in the final product. No image will look exactly the same in different light, “Hudson Valley NY Wedding Photo wrote.
Photographer @asiachristine_ shared her own take on the photos, saying, “11 yrs as a wedding photographer- it’s 100% the lighting, location, backgrounds that makes them look so different. LOVE film edits, but it’s so tricky bc it can look so beautiful in some situations & muddy in others. They can be tweaked so they’re not so warm & give more true tone. Photog edited in her style & this is expected based on her edit bc lighting/environment is constantly changing on [wedding] day.”
Alexandra Jaye Conder’s Final Comment
After her videos went viral, Conder posted a series of short videos from her wedding day with the caption, “All that matters in the end. Thank you to everyone who listened to my experience & my story. I will no longer be sharing more on this issue as i need to move on with my life. If the photographer ends up sharing her story on the matter, i will comment. But as of now, im going to try to re do my wedding portraits & close this off…”
