….and why I include it in every wedding and elopement package
Imagine seeing your wedding photos for the first time — and feeling like you’re looking at a memory. That’s the magic of 35mm film wedding photography — it doesn’t just document what happened; it captures how it felt. Film feels nostalgic from the start — because every old photo you’ve ever seen before digital cameras existed was made on film. It connects us to that timeless, emotional look that digital can’t quite recreate.
The unique grain, color, contrast, and texture of film pull out details and richness that feel alive. That’s why I include film in every wedding and elopement I photograph. It creates a well-rounded gallery full of variety, emotion, and magic that tells your story in a deeper, more honest way.
What is 35mm film wedding photography?
35mm film wedding photography means your moments are captured on real analog film — the kind photographers have used for generations. Light hits actual film, creating a physical negative that’s developed, scanned, and turned into digital files you can keep forever.
This isn’t a preset or a digital filter pretending to be film — it’s the real thing. Every frame is intentional. Every image has its own texture, character, and soul.
Why couples fall in love with 35mm film wedding photography
1. It feels nostalgic from the start.
Film photos instantly look like memories — soft, emotional, and timeless.
2. It brings out color, contrast, and detail in a way digital can’t.
Film highlights the richness and depth of a moment, with organic tones and real grain that add character.
3. It makes your gallery more meaningful.
Film gives variety and emotional range — from artful details to unscripted moments — so your gallery tells a fuller, more honest story.
4. Every frame is unique.
No two film photos are the same. What we capture on film is yours alone.
Film vs digital wedding photography: What’s the difference?
Digital wedding photography is crisp, clean, and versatile. It’s amazing for capturing every angle and all the big, fast moments of your day.
Film? Film is soft, nostalgic, and full of emotion. The tones, the grain, the intentional pace — it tells your story with warmth and heart.
That’s why I use both. Together, they capture your day in a way that feels complete — polished and raw, modern and timeless.

Why I include film in every wedding and elopement
believe you shouldn’t have to choose between digital and film. You deserve both. Film brings emotional depth and variety that makes your gallery feel like more than a collection of images — it feels like your story, told honestly and artfully.
