35mm FILM WEDDING PORTFOLIO

35mm film photography is a lost art in an instant world. What once was the modus operandi for any photography is now a niche. In my opinion, what we left behind with film was intentionality. While on burst mode, I see a lot of digital photographers just hold the shutter-button and rely on charisma instead of skill… You’re bound to get at least one decent photo in 200 of the same pose right?

I think wedding days deserve a deeper level of artistic commitment and technical ability. Film photography is that in a nutshell. It somehow, captures light, colour and texture in ways digital cannot replicate. It’s described as authentic and It demands the photographer know what they’re doing and to be present. I think it’s therefore perfect for meaningful wedding images.

With that being said, it does require someone experienced. film is very different to digital – it can be unforgiving and expensive if not done well. Someone described it as a chemical miracle, which I think is apt. Therefore, picking a photographer who is comfortable with this lost craft is essential if you want to include it on your special day.

I’m lucky enough to have had a mentor who prefers film and whose dad developed film with him as a child. It’s been a real gift to learn this skill from him and now offer it to you. I’m also lucky enough to have access to working vintage cameras, which most don’t.

Below are some of my favorite film images from previous weddings. If you want to include film in your wedding package, you can know you’re adding really unique, authentic and special images to your overall gallery. Just let me know it’s something you are interested in when you inquire and I’ll include it in your quote.
