I recently shot a wedding in Newark, Delaware. I made some edits and created some black and white photographs. The black and whites were fabulous. While looking at them, I started to remember that it was not very long ago that black and white photographs were not the in thing. Very few people appreciated how they look. Frankly, I think that the editing process has improved so dramatically in recent years that a black and white from years ago is nothing like a black and white created today. Brides and groom now ask for a couple of buzz words. Photojournalism & Black and Whites are always on the buzz word list.
There is officially a high demand for black and whites. As I look around Delaware, Maryland and Virginia, I can find wedding photographers that take the supply and demand rule seriously. Some actually charge extra for the photograph to be converted to black and white. Donald Pope Photography would never charge for black and whites. They should always be included in the pricing of a professional wedding collection or package.
