Re: Is film really so out of favor?
It's weird - I do wedding photography and people still ask me if I "Shoot film" or have a "film backup"... yet at the same time ask for the digital files and wouldn't know what to do if all I gave them was prints and/or negatives. There was one client (who was a friend that I knew very well and had already given their deposit) who asked and I said "Yes, I'm all film" and she was so taken aback that she didn't even know what to say and started stuttering and all that. Of course, I then alayed her fears and we all had a good laugh. I'd never 'mess' with people like that normally, but they were some of my best college friends and it was over 6 months from the big day... so I wasn't adding stress.
I suspect they are getting it from an out-dated bridal magazine that says they are supposed to ask. Who knows.
