Struggling to decide over digital wedding photography vs film?

Ask yourself why Hollywood professionals still shoot on film rather than digitally? It looks better and lasts longer. And doesn’t your wedding deserve the same?

Lasting Quality. With film you benefit from a warmer, deeper and richer looking print than a digital simulation. And experts agree that film handles different situations better — allowing the photographer more creativity and opportunities to create stunning wedding photographs.

In contrast to digital photography, film negatives give you the highest reprint quality – allowing your wedding photographs to be enlarged without thought limitations. You don’t have to worry about how many digital pixels your wedding photographer’s camera supports.

Flexibility. With film you also have the full benefits of digital photography. Belle Fine Photography scans the negatives into high-resolution digital images – allowing you the choice to have images edited, color tones modified from full color to black & white or even sepia tones, and of course email your favorite wedding photos to friends and family.

Security. With digital we’re tied to the technology flavor of the moment whether it’s CD drive speeds or file formats.  Negatives are physical and permanent; ensuring that you will always be able to have your memories reproduced.  Another surprising benefit is that you get every shot taken during your wedding day. There is no ability for a photographer to ‘pre-screen’ and delete photos they don’t think are important as they can and do with digital wedding photography.  With film, you get to see and choose from every shot.

And it’s all yours. We at Belle Fine Photography have a unique philosophy that your wedding day is truly yours, and with it your photos.  From us you have the best of all worlds:

  1. MOST IMPORTANTLY, YOU RECEIVE ALL THE FILM NEGATIVES
    With real film, you have both the superior quality of film and its ability to be enlarged without constraint. You also receive all your images digitally, but you aren’t tied to technology trends or pixel limitations.  And because you receive all the negatives, you can come to us or go elsewhere to have additional prints made.
  2. A CD OF ALL YOUR PHOTOS IN HIGH RESOLUTION
    We want you to share your joyful memories with your family and friends! We understand the importance of shooting on film. But we also understand the importance of having a digital copy as well. We scan your negatives and provide the digital wedding photos in high resolution on an un-encoded/ unlocked CD. This means that there are no hidden limitations. Email your digital photos to family and friends; make copies of the CD and send by post; reprint the photos on your home printer; post them on your wedding website; create a collage; etc. They are your memories to share and to treasure.
  3. ARCHIVAL QUALITY HAND PRINTED PHOTOS
    You receive beautiful hand printed archival quality wedding photos that are ready to frame and will last for life. (no proofs or coded images) And because you have all the negatives, you are free to come to us or go elsewhere to have additional prints made.
