I don't want to do the scans and CD burn myself for two reasons: First, I don't have the time to scan 300+ images myself. And second, many of them will be on medium format. Personally, I don't particularly care for editing my proofs. I have found that what to me may be a slightly substandard may be the couples' priceless picture with the once in a lifetime expression. This has happened to me before & more than once clients have told me they resent photographers editing their wedding. So what I'm looking for is a lab who has the capability to run them off quick and dirty as a part of the processing and printing/proofing, but who also does good work in terms of the printing. If anyone has any recommendations, I'm all ears. Thanks!
