Classic Black and White or Glorious Colour

It's a hard decision isn't it, black and white or colour.  For years people have enjoyed beautiful colour as it is still relatively new but in this digital age it is so easy for us to choose afte rthe photograph has been taken.

Is it that simple though...?  Sometimes images will work only in black and white for many many reasons, in music it may often be due to colour casting from stage lights, sometimes it may be due to colour balance or a high level of noise form a night time shot but with weddings, well you can pretty much choose colour or black and white.  How do you make that choice?  Why do you make that choice?

Brides spend so much time choosing their colour schemes, from the colour of the bridesmaids dresses, the mens waistcoats, flowers, even down to nails and eyeshadow and then we take it away by transferring to black and white!  Colour photos can be so vibrant and beautiful but we are still intrigued by the timeless feel we get from a stunning black and white classical portrait.

So which would you choose, why would you choose it?  Sure why not just get both, all of my images are supplied in colour and black and white for my couples to choose from themselves.
