Photographers:Do you give negatives to your brides after their albums are completed?

Just curious. Which photographers keep the negatives, how long do you keep them, do you charge more for enlargements after a certain date, do you sell the negatives to brides or give them the negatives. Thanks for the info.

We are married 35 years and have the negatives to our wedding. I believe all bride and grooms should posses all the negatives as well as the proofs, and of course, a spectacular wedding album ! We sell the negatives to bride and groom's
with the smallest packages. We give the negatives free when bride and groom's order extra photos for their album, etc. or when they start with a larger package up front. Hope this helps...
