B&W or colour photography?
Twenty years ago, it would have been considered mad to ask your wedding photographer for black and white photographs, they were not fashionable, and wedding photographers were reluctant to offer Black and white. This was really due to the difficulties in switching between different rolls of photographic film. Nowadays, I seem to be doing more and more of them. To my eye, done properly, they can convey a lot about the mood and emotion of the time the photograph was taken
Thanks to modern digital camera technology I can easily produce both black and white and colour wedding photography for photograph that are taken split seconds away from each other.
In the main I mainly photograph in colour, but on request black and white, monotones and duotone prints are available. I am also able to offer spot colouring to black and white images. This is something I do if I am asked, but not something I recommend – as it really is a passing fashion
One other advantage of digital has been that we can pick and choose after the event which images I convert to black and white, and I can also do differing individual colour to black and white conversions – frame by frame. This flexibility and creative control allows me to offer a whole range of images form a single starting point, which from an artistic point of view is marvellous
One point I would make about colour photography – I strive to ensure the colours on the prints are as faithful to the colours at the event. Sometimes brides usefully provide me with a swatch of the major colours used. By fine tuning the final photographs to these swatches I can ensure that I give you images that show how much effort and time you spent getting the colours right on the day. I know you spent ages deliberating about the colours of fabrics and flowers etc. Which is why I make every effort to ensure that the colours taken faithfully represent the colours of your wedding
