I photographed one wedding using a Canon D60 digital. Yes, it was great to be able to see the results on the display. No, it wasn't fun looking at the results on my computer and tweaking them to make me satisfied with the results. When I shot with film, I knew what I would get because I had done so many using the same techniques I had developed over 30 years. Did a wedding last September where the owner of the wedding site said her husband had gone back to using film because of the stress in having to look through hundreds of files and tweaking them. There was an article in a local photo magazine about a wedding photographer who claims he is "different" from other photographers shooting digitally because he uses film, a medium that his clients are no longer familiar with but who like his results. I'm photographing a wedding next weekend. My client is happy I am using film because she likes film results over digital.
