Why You Should Go
For Digital Wedding Photography
With the resurgence of film photography in recent years,
should you and your partner consider going all-film for your wedding photos?
Well, you could, but digital is still generally a better option. Here’s why:
More room for
error
While the actual wedding ceremony may be calm and
organized, the reception may not necessarily follow suit. People will
definitely be moving around more (and unpredictably too). Some will be dancing,
some laughing over dinner. There will most likely be kids running around as
well.
Long story short, there’s a big chance that your
wedding photographer ct would end
up taking a lot of bad shots that they’d then have to replace with new, better
ones – which shouldn’t be any problem at all with a digital camera.
Unfortunately, this could mean significantly higher costs if your photographer
is using film.
The ability to do
post-processing
Shooting in film requires
wedding photographers to get
the perfect shot every time because there’s practically no way to touch the
photos up. Unfortunately, this can only happen when all the conditions are
right, i.e., the lighting, the poses, and even the camera settings line up
perfectly.
Obviously, a skilled photographer can make something like this happen. They’ve
been successfully doing it way before digital cameras were invented. But it
takes time – and there are just so many unexpected moments at weddings that
photographers could miss if they lose focus for even a split second.
In contrast, minor imperfections in digital photos could
easily be remedied using various image editing software so photographers armed
with digital cameras can focus better on the task at hand: capturing all the
special moments the happen throughout the event.
Film-like quality
Back in the day, there was a clear difference between the
quality of digital and film images. But digital camera technology has advanced
so much over the years that this difference has become practically
imperceptible today. Even professional photographers say the same thing.
And even if, by design, film is supposed to look better,
considering the fact that you need near-perfect conditions for it to work at
maximum efficiency, you’d still end up taking more great quality photos with a
digital camera.
The bottom line
In terms of value for money, flexibility and overall
photo quality, digital wedding photography is your best bet. Of course, if you
have money to spare and are really a fan of film photography, then go for it. It’s
your special day. You should not settle for something you’re not completely happy with.
