Wedding Photographs

Do people prefer B&W or Color Wedding Photographs? If B&W, are thy good enough from Digital photographers?

I am doing some research about black and white photography, and thought this is a good place to start. I have been under the impression that today digital wedding photographers really do not pay as much attention to final product, and instead give their customer photographs straight from their camera, and let the customer do with the photographs whatever they choose. Do you other people think the same way?

Hi,

As a digital photographer myself, personally, the final product is everything to me. Each image is proof of what I can give to a potential client. I get work mainly from word of mouth and every photograph I take is individual and special, just like the client.

When I have shot the wedding, I sort through the images to ensure only the best ones are presented as proofs to the client. They will then look through the images to choose which ones they would like to keep. I give suggestions as to which would look better in B&W based on my experience as a photographer.

B&W can look very 'arty' if the right images are used. Obviosly any images that have a lot of colour, ie flowers, cake etc would be better in colour and as a general rule, scenes with a lot of detail look better in B&W as colour can sometimes be distracting.

I do know of photographers than run a system where the client chooses the images and then simply prints them or worse still, just gives the images on CD/DVD and the clients has to print them themselves, but professionals will take time to retouch images so they look the best they can for years to come. After all, once the cake has been eaten, the suits returned and the honeymoon is over, the photographs will the lasting memory of the couples special day.

Hope that helps.
