how i edit a moody engagement shoot in lightroom

The natural light on this shoot day was EXACTLY what we were looking for. A dark and moody engagement shoot that ended up being one of my favorites to-date. That posed a challenge when shooting with super low light and making sure I got all the detail I wanted, so the color grading and editing was super important here too!

Every camera is different and everyone's settings they start off shooting in are different, so please keep that in mind if you use my settings to learn to edit in my style! Personally, I shoot with a Sony a7iii.

The most important thing is not the specific +/- settings themselves, but the patterns you see for each setting... bringing down the clarity, blacks, highlights, and contrast, and boosting the shadows, exposure, and whites. It takes time to learn so don't be afraid to play around until you feel like you're starting to understand how manipulating each setting works!
