All photographs are taken with Kodak Professional film, and printed on Kodak Professional paper. There is a difference between Professional and amateur [off the rack] films and papers!

All processing is done at a professional custom lab. One-hour labs are NOT used. Black and white film is of the traditional type - hand processed and printed in my own darkroom.

Having the proper equipment is essential. I photograph weddings with both Bronica medium format and Nikon 35mm cameras. However, good equipment isn't the only thing you should look for; your photographer has to be someone with whom you can work for up to eight hours.
