Kerry gave specific instructions that she wanted us to shoot on film, so we did. With our old standby, black and white film in a Leica we photographed the wedding and reception with film beside our normal digital cameras.

The result makes a really nice accent to the color photographs in her album and will make a few good prints for family and friends.

Interpreting a wedding into photographs can create some extreme results. This type of photography isn’t for every bride, and not for every photographer. But if you like it, we can do it.

We love to photograph in this style there is a freedom to capturing the human moments and motions instead of the form images.

This was an experimental shoot that we did on the streets and beaches of Fort Lauderdale. We used a dress by Patricia South and a friend as the stand-in bride. Thanks Stines!

Beth & Will’s Wedding in Rockville, Maryland

These photographs require the Flash plug-in.

David Degner photographed the wedding of Beth & Will in Rockville Maryland, just outside of Washington D.C.

Glenview Mansion made a scenic setting for the Scottish themed wedding. The a pillared, neoclassical, 19th century home, is an ideal venue nestled in the Rockville Civic Center Park.

This wedding was special for us to photograph because the bride wanted the pictures taken on black and white film to give it a more traditional look. I used a Leica M6 and Neopan 400 film.

Back in the lab it took another 100+ hours of post processing and printing on fiber based paper to get the final product. In the end the bride had a very unique wedding album of gorgeous archival prints, and the scanned hand-toned digital files to send to family and friends.

Black and white photography gives unique images but it also creates truly archival images that many future generations will be able to look at. There is an odd paradox with photo technology that the newer technologies have shorter lifespans.

We are constantly trying to make new photos that show the emotion of the day. This is one example of a wedding that Edward Linsmier shot, in part, with a Holga and black and white film.

These photos are examples of types that can be be used in thank-you cards and to add variety to an album or scrapbook.
