Mix B&W, Sepia, & Color
The question of Color vs. B&W for your images is purely a question of personal taste. Since color film was introduced most images have been shot in color. However, with the advent of high quality professional digital cameras, there is no reason why you can't have it All. We shoot all images in color and then convert them to B&W, sepia, and mixed color & B&W based on the image.
Color photographs will display flowers, decorations, and sets with the vibrancy that only color can capture.
B&W photographs have a classic nostalgic look, and some images just look better in B&W. B&W can have clarity, simplicity, or frankness that you can't get with color.
Sepia photographs are subset of B&W, these are B&W prints that are "toned" to have a warm brownish tone. Sepia images tend to have even more of a nostalgic look than B&W.
Mixed Color and B&W photographs are hand tinted to let a little bit of the color of the image remain while the rest of the print is B&W or sepia.
