ABSTRACT

First, digital improvements over the past several years allow color,

saturation, and sharpness to be superior to what fi lm can achieve.

Second, digital allows for online proofi ng, which means that the couple

and their friends and family can look through the proofs regardless of

where they reside. Third, digital allows for almost instantaneous feed-

back. Rodney Bailey, who is the exclusive photographer for this book

and is featured in Vendor Spotlight, Case 15.1, explains that when he

is hired for two-day coverage such as the wedding day and a brunch

the following day, he can pull together a set of images from the

wedding and set them to music for a slide show that can be presented

during the brunch. Finally, digital images can be safely stored in mul-

tiple locations so there is no fear of losing original work.
