I have a photography question: for a wedding is film or digital better?

Have a photography question: for a wedding is film or digital better?

My sister got married in 2005 and used film because she was told by her photographer that if something happened to a roll of film she would be out about 15 pictures, but if something happened with digital, she would be out everything. Has anyone heard of this and what about for a 2009 weddng? Film or digital?.

Additional Details
Maybe I should have been more specific - I think the issue is that with the film if a roll of film got lost or damaged then 12-15 pictures would be lost or damaged. But if digital then if the memory card (I guess) got lost or damaged then 50 or 100 or 200 or more pictures would be lost or damaged. That is why I'm wondering about the film vs digital question. Can people please give me their opinions for a 2009 wedding? Thanks.

It's definitely best to hire a photographer for the event. They usually dont use digital cameras for these type of things, and if they do they are often the really expensive ones.

using a normal digital camera doesnt provide that "intimate" look that most couples go for.

I wouldnt worry about losing pictures as being the main problem...what is the likeliness that something will go wrong?


i actually prefer film for these type of things, and then getting them developed at a realllllly nice place where they make them into big sizes and everything.


Still, your best bet is to call in a photographer to take the pics for you. They do really nice portraits and usually have a money back guarantee.
