Bill Fink Communications, LLC offers wedding photography packages emphasizing the "photo journalism" or "documentary" approach to the event. Elaborate lighting and posing setups are avoided in favor of candid, as-they-happen images of this very special event. Formal groupings are still done, but they are not the main emphasis of our work with you.
We shoot primarily digital (Nikon cameras), and will shoot film (Olympus cameras) if requested. Our digital cameras are both single lens reflex (SLR) and electronic view finder (EVF) models. An EVF camera may be used, if you wish, during the actual ceremony since it is much quieter and less intrusive than the SLR. The SLR, on the other hand, handles dim light and rapidly unfolding action better than the EVF.
We prefer to let you select images and build your own "hard copy" albums, since our emphasis is on capturing the important moments and getting those images up on the web for viewing by you and your family and friends. Frankly, selecting photos to print, printing and building an album are extraordinarily time consuming and create much extra expense for you. We will direct you to album building services that will use our photos and your wishes to build the album you wish.
Two CDs containing all images shot (good and bad) serve as your own equivalent of having the digital "negatives." You also receive any actual negatives shot with film. The best digital images, and the best digitized film images, are placed on a web page so that everyone connected with the wedding may view the best images of the event, either picture by picture, or as an automated slide show. This web site permits either open or password protected access, and uses custom printing services to produce long-lasting, high quality prints at nominal costs. Full sized images are download-restricted, but are used in all prints ordered. The gallery of your wedding images normally stays available for about a year after the wedding.
