Ariana - Ahh thank you so much for this post! I worked with film in high school and have started my business with digital but really really really love the film look and want to learn! Thanks so much for sharing!
Terry Thomas - I too shot weddings on film...in the mid 1960's. As a teenager I photographed weddings using a 4x5 Speed Graphic. The studio I worked for at the time charge $75.00 for a black and white wedding and $125.00 for a roll film color wedding (again using the Speed Graphic with a roll film back). I processed the b&w sheet film in the darkroom and printed the album in another darkroom. Another part of my job description was inserting the photos in the album-all for $1.00 an hour. I didn't have to deal with guests with cell phones and digital cameras thank goodness. I had to be sure to get the formals and "candid" pictures done before some guests and wedding party had too much to drink. Thank you for letting me share my experiences.

Lloyd - Edmonton Wedding Photographers - Started my wedding career on film 16 years ago. I found the first question on your FAQ kinda ironic (Is shooting film scary?) because I resisted digital because I thought digital would be scary haha.
Oriana - I love hearing your insights in this film journey! I also learned as a teenager with b&w 35mm that I developed at the local art center darkroom. But I haven't touched film in yeeeeears. Maybe one day! :)
:) camille - Wowzers! I didn't know that you shot that styled shoot so early. Impressive!!!
Paul - Every time I stop by your site, I'm always amazed and inspired. If I had as much talent as you have in the tip of your finger, I'd be shooting portraits and loving every minute. I'm glad you know Who gave you that talent!! I rejoice with you.
