We Go one Extra Step to Assure you that your Photos will Come out Beautiful!
Ever since acquiring our new Nikon D1 professional digital camera in January
of 2000, which was an $8,000+ investment, and our pair of Kodak Professional
Dye-Sublimation Color Photo Printers, another $10,000 investment, we have
the ability to produce digital photo prints that hold their own with the
best film based prints. Digital also let's us see the results of what we
have captured immediately. [UPDATE (2-2-06): I am currently on
the 4th generation of Nikon's Professional digital cameras, with the
D2x's, which has the capability of 12.4 megapixels of capture per
image! Only the very best for my customers' weddings! ]
When I leave the reception, I know for certain that I've got the good digital
images that are required to be able to deliver the type of coverage that
today's smart brides require. It makes my job a lot less stressful to know
this.
I have even more control over my images with this digital camera than the
Hasselblads gave me with film. On our digital camera, I can used computer
controlled 3D multi-sensor balanced fill-flash, where I can't do that on
the film cameras. (This makes the flash photo look much more naturally lit
than with regular flash.) (I just shake my head and smile in disbelief when
I see this flexibility in action and the quality it produces!!!
During the reception, I flip open my laptop, upload the digital camera images
and let the bride, groom, wedding party and the wedding guests see all the
digital images that I've taken during the wedding day in a looping "slide
show style" display. The bride and groom get to see them while they eat their
meal at the head table...now, that's living! Let me tell you, it is one of
the highlights of the reception. Everyone enjoys it. Once the slide show
is set up and running, I usually leave it running for everyone to enjoy during
the course of my coverage and whenever there is a lull in the coverage, I
upload all the new images I've taken since the last upload.
How important is it to have digital camera backup of your wedding memories?
Nobody likes to think (or be reminded) of what can happen when disaster strikes
your wedding photos, but consider this: without digital camera coverage even
the absolute best wedding photographer in the world doesn't have anything
worth having until their wedding film has been successfully developed and
returned! If the pro lab screws up the developing of their film or their
film gets lost in transit, all their hard work and creativity is down the
drain and that professional photographer has absolutely nothing to fall back
on...no rabbits out of the hat this time...you're just flat out of luck.
Sorry! they'll say.
However, with the digital camera coverage, the finished order can be printed
into beautiful 8x10 photographs from the digital camera images and the day
(and your precious wedding memories) are saved from being lost forever! ("Many
members {full time professional studio photographers} have had the kind of
experience I described. Either film being lost or problems at a lab ,"a
Professional Photographers of America official told me recently by email
when I was inquiring about whether the PP of A Indemnification Trust covers
lab mistakes or film lost in transit...it doesn't!)
The most a lab will usually do if it screws up your film is give you an equal
amount of unexposed film...boy, that really helps! Without digital backup
at great expense, the wedding could possibly be "restaged for pictures",
but you still would not have any images of your actual event, would you?...
No, just photos of the recreation, all without the feeling and spontaneity
of the real moments as they actually unfolded. The trouble is that very few
full time professional photographers are bothering to use digital camera
backup!
Brides are always telling me that their wedding day went by in a blur and
that is the reason my wedding photos are so very important to them. They
rely on my photos to help them unblur their wedding day's memories, so that
they can enjoy and cherish them forever.
As you can see, when I photograph your wedding, you have one extra assurance
that your photos will come out great than you'll probably get from any other
photographer you might consider choosing to photograph your wedding. If I
was a bride looking for a good wedding photographer, that alone would be
reason enough for me to want to hire the photographer that was willing to
take this extra step to assure me that my beautiful wedding photos would
come out great!
