I asked wedding photographer Adrienne Page for her tips on what to look for when hiring a photographer. Here's her fourth tip on what to look for when hiring a wedding photographer.

Digital/Film: There are photographers that still shoot film while others shoot digital images. Know that there is a difference and decide which best fits your style.

Some photographers are not willing to give up the structure of the grain in film and its printing options. It may be a bit more expensive because you get the best of both worlds - digital capabilities (the negatives can be scanned), archiving images both digitally and with negatives, and you get to have custom darkroom prints or digital prints.

Digital is another option that creates a different look and it can allow photographers to be incredibly creative as well. You may also want to research the size of digital files the photographer shoots to see if that fits your needs.

Wedding Note: When you’re meeting with photographers, ask them whether they shoot in film or digital. Weigh the look of the pictures they shot and the cost of the photographer before making a decision.

If you hire someone who shoots in digital, ask them if they upload all of the images to a website or give you a CD with the images. If you opt for film, ask about the cost of development and if you own or can buy the negatives so you can develop pictures in the future on your own.
