Still, why do some wedding photographers still “include” the negatives?
I can only assume here: For one, the difficulties of obtaining quality enlargements and the associated time and logistical expenditure make it quite attractive for the photographer to simply give a bag of films to the client at the end of the wedding day. Also, bridal magazines sometimes advise their readers to request the negatives from their photographer in order to save on reprint costs. It might indeed look like a good deal for both parties. That is until client receives the first (or second) set of the £0.09 prints…
