As there's no wedding portrait forum I'll see if this one fits in here.
This was shot on a pebbly beach at the water's edge in the late afternoon.

Jan, the bride, wanted her entire wedding shot in B/W
so I chose Ilford XP2 and converted this image to warm sepia.

Yes taff, that's exactly right. It's a chromogenic film, which simply means that is compatible with minilab colour processing.
Very handy if you don't feel like developing it yourself. Kodak also make one, T-Max, isn't it?
But I heard that Kodak stopped making film ... again, correct me if I'm wrong.

T-Max is developed in B+W chemistry , best results in TMAX Developer great results up to 6400 ASA (dont know if you can still get it though)

Kodak's answer to Ilford XP2 was BW400CN, a professional chromogenic film,
specifically designed for printing on colour paper. I tried it but didn't like it as much as XP2.

Fabulous shots Mark! I can only imagine how happy the couples were with them. The tones are lovely.

Thanks Vickie. I have always been passionate about wedding photography. For me it is the greatest photographic challenge - only war photography could be more so!
