As good as home ink jet printers have become, remember that those papers do tend to fade in a short amount of time. You may want to find out from your photographer if the prints you receive will be ink jet prints, prints from a machine lab (such as many one-hour-labs), or prints from a high quality lab with Endura papers that will not fade or be smeared or stained by fingerprints. Some of the top wedding photographers in the country use traditional film in the same way I do, and combine the digital technologies to offer their clients the most in choices, touch ups, and custom work. Perhaps one of the best ways to test a photographer against your expectations is to arrange an engagement photo session. You will invest a relatively small amount, have a professional image for the newspaper and your family, and you will then know what to expect. Remember a superior image is created by one who brings together the knowledge and experience of their techniques and their style of artistic expression. My goal has been to provide you with valuable information in your pursuit of quality photographs of your most important day, whether you are making your choice based on budget, quality, or style.
