Do wedding photographers use roll film or digital memory cameras?

Question

I should think film is best for the album

Answer 1

Its all digital now xxxxxxxxx

Answer 2

At the last two weddings I've been to, one within the last two months and the other within the last six months, the photographer used medium format film exclusively. One photographer used a Hasselblad, while the other used a some sort of little Bronica 645(an ETRSi, maybe).

The wedding I went to before that was shot entirely with a pair Fuji S3 Pro DSLRs.

So, I think that based on my limited evidence, there are plenty out there using both.

One other thing-at the wedding two months ago, the photographer said that although he still used film, he was about at the switching point. The reason for him was the lack of quality local processing, since the only pro lab in Kentucky closed last July. I have to admit that this has been a big shock to me as well, although I've adapted by finding some good send-out labs which I trust.

Oh boy, a new can of worms has been opened. According to the DRM law, niether the Camera Operator or the Wedding Participants are entitled to claim ownership of the Intellectual Knowledge that made the Digital Images. The owner of the Marketing Rights and the Manufactureing Rights of the Hardware and Software are the owners of anything that the Hardware and or Software is used to create. Next time you google a picture on the web search part, look at those hyperlinks that say "Some media displayed is owned,,,yad yada yada......." , now take this concept and Law one step further, Are the photographs Public Domain, or have the Rights to use the Intelectuall Property that gathers and accesses the digital data been bought and protected by an idavidual or corporation. Its allways darkest just before the nuclear dawn steams out the eyes of Bambi.

Answer 4

It depends on the photographer. Many are switching to all digital now, some still use medium format or 35 mm film. My husband and I used both -- one digital camera and one film camera.

As far as quality for the album, they're all printed with the same machines and the same paper now, especially if they're processed at a professional lab...so the quality is the same.

Answer 5

It depends on the Photographer, many will still use medium format and film. Digital seems to be the way things are moving though and often you can improve your work with the many software programs on the market.
Although digital is easier, film has, for me always been the best for weddings

Answer 6

some use both, some just use one or the other. my husband and i decided to have a guy who just used roll film, was a disaster cause his camera was faulty (despite the fact he tried to tell me it was the shadow form the church, and that his camera was a brand new £4k one) thus all of our photos have a shadow down one side or across the bottom depending on the way the picture was taken. He later admitted, it was a fault with his camera but we never got any money back.
Had he used a digital, this would never have happened and any faults could have been ironed out. if we did it again i would choose a photographer who uses both.
we have friends who do wedding photos and they use both!

Answer 7

This is very specific to each photographer and any more there is nearly no noticeable difference when using high end digital equipment and materials. My photographer (and I got married in a small town) used both. I honestly can't tell you which photos came from which camera.

Answer 8

the one at my wedding used digital photography. He was able to show the photographs he had taken on his laptop during the reception, and he managed to create a hardback book of photos (using a fancy program from Apple) instead of the standard photo album.

Answer 10

the FUJI S3PRO is the camera of choice for weddings with a lot of pro photographers ,it uses 2 sensors and will capture colours more evenly.

Answer 11

They might use either depending on their preferences and the preferences of their client, though at this point digital is the much more common choice.
