"As a luxury destination wedding photographer, my editing process is just as important as the moments I capture. Working with Marta Locklear through her mentorship program at Refined Co. has been a game-changer for my workflow, my artistic vision, and ultimately, my business.
Marta took the time to deeply understand my aesthetic, my creative goals, and the emotions I aim to evoke through my work. With her expertise, she crafted a bespoke preset and profile tailored specifically to my style—ensuring my images retain their depth, elegance, and natural beauty with minimal effort in post-production.
The results? A seamless editing workflow, a more refined and cohesive look, and most importantly, more time to focus on my craft and my clients. This has not only elevated my signature style but has also been a huge win for my business, my clients, and my overall efficiency.
If you’re a photographer looking to enhance your editing process, refine your style, and create a consistent, high-end look, I can’t recommend Refined Presets and Marta’s mentorship program enough. It’s an investment that has transformed my workflow and allowed me to deliver an even more exceptional experience for my couples.”
