Reels Editor for Photography-Based Content (TikTok & Instagram)

I’m looking for a skilled short-form video editor to create three distinct Reels per project using:
-- Behind-the-scenes iPhone video footage (casual, natural, setting the scene).
-- Final high-quality images from the shoot.

The goal is to craft visually compelling, romantic, and sophisticated Reels that smoothly transition from the raw video into the polished photos—capturing the emotion of the shoot while ensuring a fluid, aesthetic, and natural experience for the viewer.

These videos should feel clean, modern, and polished but still maintain an organic, TikTok-friendly look. I do not want them to feel overly produced—just elevated, engaging, and highly shareable.

???? What I’m Looking For:
?? Trending Music Selection – You’ll provide song suggestions that align with current trends and fit the mood, helping maximize reach & engagement.
?? Smooth Transitions – The iPhone video and final high-resolution images should flow seamlessly together without an abrupt shift in quality.
?? Engaging, Story-Driven Editing – The video should lead into the photos naturally, almost like a mini music video—setting the scene with BTS clips, a romantic mood, and then a beautiful transition into the final gallery.
?? Sophisticated Yet Organic Look – The Reels should feel dreamy, high-end, and visually captivating but not overly commercial or artificial.
?? Multiple Editing Styles – Each Reel should feel distinct (not just variations of the same video with different songs).
?? Text Overlays (Optional) – You can suggest text overlays if they help enhance engagement, but my priority is the visuals.

???? Deliverables:
???? Three unique Reels per project (for use on TikTok & IG Reels)
???? Trending music recommendations tailored to the content
???? 15-30 seconds per Reel (unless a different length fits the footage better)

Example Reels that capture the style I’m aiming for so you have inspiration.
