I remember looking through many family photo albums filled with black and white photographs of everything from weddings to family reunions to Easter Sundays. There was always a charm and elegance that emanated from those photos, a timeless look and feel that had survived the years of storage in a dusty attic. The crisp details and classic look in each image had an immediate and lasting effect, like looking at a museum piece. And this was amateur photography! It then made sense to me that the artistic and romantic nature of black and white photography is perfectly suited to weddings. As everyone knows, weddings are about details and nothing suits details like black and white photography.
Because your wedding day will be one of the most important days of your life, you'll want to capture it with a photography style that will last, one you won't be embarrassed to show to friends twenty years from now. You want to cherish your wedding photos, not hide them away.
Color photography fades over time, but black and white images hold their classic look. Although time has an effect on everything and black and white images will change, the same effect always remains, something you can't always count on with color. If you're the Victorian type, hand tinted and sepia toned images bound in a beautifully crafted album will suit your style completely. You may also want to consider the type of paper your photographs are printed on. One option we offer our brides is the Iris print or giclee. This process allows the image to be printed from a digital format onto watercolor paper. When you add hand-tinting to the mix, the overall effect is beautiful. The white wedding dress and black tuxedo thrown together with tinted flowers, eyes and hair bound in a handmade Victorian album beautifully and romantically conveys the mood of the day.
But like everything else on your wedding day, to get the look you want you'll need to do some planning. Make sure you plan what shots you want and give a list to your photographer. The last thing you want to do is worry that the photographer is getting everything and everybody. Make a list of people, events, locations and anything you want photographed. You can discuss what shots you want hand-tinted later, but if you want a particular mood or setting, communicate that beforehand. Planning and communication are the key to getting what you want and having a less stressful wedding day. So consider all your options when choosing your photographer and think about the style that suits you. You're wedding pictures should produce happy reminisces every time you look at them, immediately recalling the romantic elegance of the day. They should suit your style and character. If you feel uncomfortable with all black and white in your album or can't decide on one or the other, consider doing half in color. You'll get the best of both worlds. By communicating your own creative interests and style to your photographer and considering all the options, you'll get beautiful photos and perfectly preserved memories, which will the most valuable wedding gift you receive.
