I will be taking a small wedding in a couple of months. the couple would like me to take film and I am not sure what film would be the best for their color portraits. so if you guys have any recomendations for good color film that I can get a hold of that would be great!

Thanks

Meghan :D

Kodak makes a pro grade film that is labled as NC which means normal color, which should hold natural skin tones. You should be able to find the exact name on the Kodak web site. Or just ask for it at a REAL camera store, not Wally World. It should be kept refrigerated at the store and at home. Just remember to let the can come to room temp prior to opening so as to not get condesation on the film or in your body.

I use these films with my medium format camera and they also come in 35MM from any pro store.
Kodak Pro films
UC "Ultra Color" (100 & 400 ASA)
Portra NC "Natural Color" (160 & 400 ASA)
Portra VC "Vivid Color" (160 & 400 ASA)
Portra 800 (800ASA)

Fuji Pro Film
NPH (400asa)
NPZ (800asa)

Kodak film is normally more expensive than Fuji.
