no
05
Do you use digital or film? Do you photograph in colour or b&w?
What type of equipment do you use?
Because of the greater flexibility and reliability of digital photography, we are 100 percent digital. Digital also allows us greater security when it comes to backing up your most important shots. That said we are also suckers for the look of film…. We love bringing a polaroid to your wedding and sometimes an old film camera so we can get some extra, creative shots to add to your final product.
We offer both colour and black & white! We generally convert as our eyes and artistic style see best, but this can always be changed at a later date.
We are a solid mix here in the Collective between Nikon and Canon and Sony. We also shoot with a full range of professional lenses and we always arrive at your wedding with a back up camera!
no

Will you back up my images?
