You’ve probably noticed that some photographers shoot digital, some shoot film, and some do both. So why do I shoot film, and why does it make such a difference for your wedding photos? Let me break it down for you.
Film has a way of capturing light, color, and emotion that feels timeless. It’s soft, organic, and somehow nostalgic, the kind of images that feel like they’ve always existed, and like they’ll last forever!
Film Captures Emotion Differently
Digital cameras are amazing, don’t get me wrong. But there’s something about film that makes every moment feel more intimate and real.
- It slows the process down just enough to notice the little things: your parents’ reactions, or that fleeting laugh with your best friend.
- It creates a natural, warm tone that makes every image feel emotional and alive.
- The slight imperfection of film the grain, the texture, the soft light — adds character and gives that in the moment feel.
Why Film Feels Timeless
When you look at film photos, they don’t feel like a trend or a style that will fade. They feel classic.
- The colors are true, soft, and romantic.
- Each image has depth and dimension that feels like it belongs in a magazine, even if it’s just a candid moment.
- Your photos won’t feel dated 10 or 20 years from now — they’ll feel like your wedding day, exactly as it was.
How Film Elevates Your Wedding Gallery
When I shoot your wedding, I combine film with digital to give you the best of both worlds:
- Film for the emotional, dreamy, and timeless moments
- Digital for the moments that need precision or extra flexibility (like low light or fast-moving action)
This blend gives you a wedding gallery that’s:
- Full of storytelling and genuine emotion
- Polished and editorial when it matters
- Timeless, beautiful, and unique to your day
Why I Love Shooting Film
For me, shooting film is more than just for fun, it’s a way to honor your day. It slows things down just enough for me to see the magic in every moment, and it ensures your photos will look and feel like art!
The result? A gallery that feels emotional, authentic, and real !
Below are some film images throughout several wedding days, I hope you enjoy these !
