Black and White Wedding Photos

Who loves black and white wedding photos?

I have to say I do, but it really takes the right kind of image to look good. Photos with architecture, patterns and are not too busy work best.

Take for example the image taken at Paradise Palms. In colour it’s great, but in black and white it looks a bit flat. 

Paradise Palms has the most beautiful grounds for colour photos

All the greens of vegetation just become lots of variations of grey.

Black and White Wedding Photos need lots of contrast

Then look at the one taken in the Shangri-la near Bar8. It is really cool as a black and white with the woodwork.

Great Shangri-la Cairns black and white wedding photo

But what about something a bit in between? With digital photography we can do that and I really like the subtle toning of the 3rd photo taken in a Cairns cafe. What do you think?
