What's all this talk about negatives?? When was the last time you looked at wedding photographers-none I know have used film for some years now!
VERY few still do, but that is rare & tends to be medium format stuff & they do charge a premium for it.
I disagree with the OP (I would though wouldn't I) I'm a big believer in you get what you pay for.
Go & talk to some professional photographers & see thier work & compare it to amature photo's you can get for a fraction of the price-there is a difference.
I'm getting married in Feb & haven't got a huge budget, but we are having a decent photographer, who's Yorkshire based actually.
No photographer in their right mind will pass the copyright to you, but most will grant an unlimited licence to reproduce the images. Very different things.
Get it done on fil, it is better?? Twaddle. Professional digital has a higher dynamic range than film & much more adjustability in camera to get it right when it counts-on the day.
Give this man a call if you want to have a chat with him & tell him Dave said to ring.
