Digital Photography

The advancements in digital photography has greatly expanded the creative potential of wedding photographers.  Today's professional digital cameras are quite capable of producing better images than medium format Hasselblad and Bronica cameras.  The key is the photographer behind the lens.  There are a lot of differences when shooting digital instead of film.  Even competent professional photographers need time to learn the new technology.  So, if you are hiring a "digital photographer" make sure that he or she is well versed in this craft.  I would recommend at least 6 months of experience.  Also ask your photographer how the digital pictures are printed.  The only acceptable answer is "on photographic paper".  Not on ink jet photo paper or by dye sublimation that some will say looks just like a real photograph.  To guarantee the longest lasting quality images only accept real photographic paper prints.  Now,  here are just a few of the benefits of using digital equipment.

1-  Your photographer will always have a back-up copy,  unlike with film when the one and only set of images is sent out to the lab.

2-  The ability to check lighting, expressions, and overall quality of each image immediately.

3-  Freedom to experiment with new and spontaneous ideas.

4-  Endless possibilities for each image, including-  black and white,  sepia tone,  selective color,  infra-red,  and hundreds of creative effects limited only by your imagination.

5-  The ability to adjust to virtually any lighting condition.

6-  Better print quality and control.

7-  Images on CD for email or posting on websites.

8-  Easier and more cost effective retouching.

9-  Virtually unlimited number of pictures can be taken,  freeing the photographer from thinking about keeping a shoot within budget.

10-  All of this leads to better pictures- no matter what style you are looking for,  digital offers a number of benefits to both you and your photographer.
