| Q. |
How
many photographs are taken on a wedding day? |
| A. |
As
many as you would like. There is no limit. On an average
wedding day, with the ceremony starting in the early
afternoon about 1:00 or 2:00, and pre-ceremony photography
starting about three hours earlier, a bride and groom
could expect at least 250 images to choose from.

| Q. |
Is
it possible to have black and white photographs on our
wedding day? |
| A. |
Yes!
As requested, we are happy to photograph some black
and white photographs. Another option which is more
popular is taking a color negative and having it processed
to look black and white (this is accomplished by having
the printer use panular paper). The reason this avenue
is popular is because the client will have the choice
of color or black and white. Once an image is captured
with black and white film, it can never be in color.
The purest will argue that black and white film is the
only way to get the best quality black and white photographs.
This is true although most people cannot tell the difference
between the pure black and white photograph compared
to the black and white(panular image) made from a color
negative. Many photo processors do a terrible job of
printing a color negative to look black and white although
the better photo processors do a superior job. Photographers
that are higher priced and more concerned about quality
will use the best photo labs in United States while
photographers that have the lowest prices and inferior
skills will use others. |

| Q. |
Is
it possible to have black and white photographs of us
from our engagement session or wedding with part or
all of the image hand-colored? |
| A. |
Yes!
Black and white photographs with hand-coloring is very
popular. Kim Anderson has really made this type of photography
popular again. Black and white photographs are already
expensive and with the addition of an artist hand-coloring
part or all of the image adds to the cost even more.
The cost is about two or three times more than that
of a normal color image. |
