Q. What photographic cameras do you use?
A. We use a variety of cameras and format dependant on the work which we are undertaking. Typically we use either Hassleblad or Bronica medium format cameras for traditional wedding photography and portraiture while reportage wedding photography is undertaken on Nikon and Canon 35mm cameras.

Q. Why medium format for traditional wedding photography and 35mm for reportage?
A. Medium format cameras produce a larger negative than that of 35mm cameras, consequently when a photographic print is produced from a larger negative (medium format being of a larger neg size than 35mm) a greater amount of clarity is retained in the final printed image, however medium format cameras are physically larger, have to be focused manually do not lend themselves to the more candid style of reportage photography at the 35mm format excels. As they have a greater degree of automation and are inherently quicker to work with therefore more able to capture the fleeting moment.
