Sepia Wedding Photography

Sepia toning is used to give black-and-white photographs a warmer or antique appearance. Traditional processes for sepia toning involve replacing silver in the black and white photographic print by silver sulphide which is brown. The print is first bleached, briefly washed and then treated with the sulphide toning solution. Although the final print finish has a very pleasing appearance the entire process consumes a lot of time and is difficult to reproduce when matching prints. Fortunately, modern image-editing software make this process easy and reproducible.

All of our wedding photography is captured digitally with state of the art professional grade cameras producing high resolution colour files of the photographs we take. From the colour files we then uniformly process each into a new file with a sepia tone, with the overall appearance dependent on whether you prefer a lighter or darker brown finish.

The fantastic advantage of our proofing system is that we include a sepia, black & white and a colour image of each photograph on the proofing CD to select your prints or images for the wedding book, allowing you to preview which tones will work best for each photograph. Unlike a film based system this also allows every photograph to be processed in whichever toning you prefer and makes it possible to have multiple copies of the same photograph in sepia, black & white and colour. The restriction of a film based system is that periods of the wedding have to be photographed in a single tone as each has to be captured with a different film type.

To give you the flexibility to have whichever finish you like for each photograph then a digital based system is a must. At PR Weddings sepia wedding photography is blended with our other styles of wedding photography to give you stunning coverage of your special day with very special photographs.
