Black and White Wedding Photography

Black and white wed­ding photography

Black and white pho­tog­ra­phy has come full cir­cle, from being the only option* to going right out of fash­ion when color took over, to being fash­ion­able again. Have you thought about black and white images in your wed­ding album? You should!

*Andrew Hind, you are not THAT old!

Andrew com­pares black and white images vs color to read­ing a book and then watch­ing the film based on the story. Black and white requires imag­i­na­tion and cre­ative inter­pre­ta­tion from the viewer — images are richer because you add your own thoughts, feel­ings and mem­o­ries to bring life to them. Colour images — like the movies — present it all on a plate. They look the part, but do they lack something?

I know of some wed­ding blog­gers who try not to pub­lish black and white images. Per­son­ally I love them and will pub­lish them on the Eng­lish Wed­ding Blog when­ever I can. But after read­ing this arti­cle I will see them in a whole new light. So to speak! Have a read any­way, it’s fas­ci­nat­ing stuff!
