Wedding Video Touch-Up: Color, Stabilization & Reframing (Indoor/Courthouse)

I’m looking for a video editor and colorist to improve a short indoor video clip with harsh overhead lighting. The goals are correcting a green/blue tint, making skin tones look more natural, and adding contrast to a flat image. Light face balancing and subtle background separation would also help. The clip has movement so color must remain consistent throughout. There is slight camera shake, so stabilization is needed as long as it doesn’t introduce distortion or excessive cropping.

The footage has distracting elements including empty seats at the bottom and people in the background. I’d like the editor to reframe or crop to improve composition, shifting the frame upward to keep focus on the subjects and reducing background distractions where possible. Any repositioning should look natural and not feel overly zoomed in. Open to any other suggestions such as subtle vignetting or face-specific brightness adjustments.

I am looking for secondary color corrections, not global adjustments. Skin tones, background, and saturated colors like clothing should be treated independently for a natural, balanced result.

I’d like to send a frame for a sample edit before moving forward and would appreciate honest feedback on what’s realistically achievable. Overhead fluorescent lighting has limits, I just want it to look as good as it can.

Budget: $200–$250

About the client
My husband and I recently got married at the courthouse, and now we’re putting together some photos and video to share with friends and family who weren’t there. I shot a short video indoors, but the lighting isn’t great, so I’m looking for someone to help improve it, especially with color and overall look. It’s a simple project, just want it to look as good as it can.
