My wedding is THIS weekend and I'm freaking out about the photographer
Original post by BHW
Some background: My parents chose the photographer (on a recommendation from several friends) b/c I did not have time to book all of the vendors as I live out of state and got engaged right before starting a new job with long hours. I was a little worried about leaving something so important up to my parents, but they had seen his work before and people had good things to say. We had engagement photos taken recently (all in color) and was happy with how they turned out.
Today my FI sent my dad the photo list to give to the photographer. It was long and detailed, but it mainly listed a bunch of combinations of different family members. The photographer told my dad he probably can't get everything in b/c we're under a time constraint. I wasn't happy about that, but I'll try to make the best of it. The thing that got me so worried was my dad called to say the photographer is only going to take photos in color. Apparently, the photographer says it will take too much time to switch between black and white film/camera and color and since the prints (or camera?) are digital, they will make any shot I want in black and white afterwards. Has anyone ever heard of this? Will they come out the same as if he originally took the shots in black and white? I really like black and white and want a lot of black and white pics especially at the arboretum. Am I crazy for being worried? I just don't want to find out that the altered black and white shots look bad b/c having black and white pics are really important to me. Thanks for all of your help.

Its EASY to change your digital photos from color to B&W and even sepai tone. Usually with just the push of a button. No worries

The reason some photographers have to use two cameras is because they are still using the actual FILM cameras, so they have no choice but to use two, and switch back and forth.
Anything can be done with digital. I had my engagement pictures taken,( my photographer uses a digital camera) and had some in B/W, some in color. And you can also have the pictures made that are both B/W and color, you know, the ones where only the bouquet is colored and the rest is B/W. IMO you can do alot more with digital. Don't worry!!!
