After years of shooting weddings, editing thousands of images, and refining my style, I finally created film inspired presets that reflects exactly how I want photos to look — bright, colorful, natural, and timeless.

Introducing Film-Inspired Presets by Mary Catherine Echols.

These presets were designed to brighten + elevate your everyday photos while keeping skin tones realistic and colors true.

What’s Included In The Collection:

This preset pack includes 17 total Lightroom presets, giving you flexibility across different lighting situations, seasons, and moods.

Included are:

14 color presets with a bright, airy, film-inspired look

3 black & white presets with subtle grain and softness for a classic finish

Small adjustments to exposure, warmth, or shadows might be needed to fit your specific image.

Editing Style & Aesthetic:

My editing style is inspired by film photography — soft contrast, true whites, balanced warmth, and colors that feel alive without being overdone.

These presets are ideal if you love:

– Bright, natural light

– Clean whites without harsh tones

– Soft color that still feels rich

– A timeless aesthetic

Lightroom Mobile Friendly (iPhone & Camera Photos)

These presets were designed primarily for Lightroom Mobile, making them easy to use on iPhone photos, but they also work beautifully on images taken with a digital camera.

If you’re new to Lightroom, don’t worry — the process is straightforward, and once installed, the presets are saved directly into your app for easy use.

How You’ll Receive the Presets:

After purchase, you’ll receive:

– A PDF download delivered to your email and available in your Etsy account

– Clear, step-by-step installation instructions

– A screen-recorded walkthrough video showing exactly how to install the presets in Lightroom Mobile

Installation takes a few minutes since there are multiple presets, but once they’re saved, you’ll be set. View this YouTube tutorial for a step-by-step process.

Designed for Real Life

This collection was intentionally built with enough variation to handle those shifts while keeping a cohesive look across your photos.

Thank you!!

This collection is the result of years behind the camera and countless hours refining color. If you’ve ever wondered how I achieve my editing style, this is it! I can’t wait to see how you use them in your own photos!!

Lots of love,

Mary Catherine
