Why I shoot 35mm Film
Why I shoot 35mm Film? If you’ve ever looked at a photo taken on 35mm film, you know that there’s something different about it. Something special. It’s hard to put into words, but there’s a depth, a warmth, and an undeniable nostalgia that digital just can’t replicate. That’s why I love shooting on 35mm film—it captures moments in a way that feels timeless, and the results are just as raw and real as the emotions that filled that moment.
Film has a certain magic to it. It’s not about perfection; it’s about imperfection. Every frame holds a bit of unpredictability—the way the light hits, the soft grain, even those little quirks that give the photos personality. When I shoot film, I’m not just capturing an image—I’m capturing an emotion, a feeling. It’s a tactile process that makes me slow down, be intentional, and truly focus on the moment. There’s something about film that forces me to pause, and in that pause, I get to capture the essence of a memory.
When you look at a film photo, it’s like you’re holding onto a piece of time. It feels more personal, more nostalgic. It’s not just a picture; it’s a tangible connection to the past, a physical representation of a memory that will last. That’s something digital photos often miss—digital can sometimes feel fleeting. But film? Film is eternal. It holds onto the soul of the moment in a way that nothing else can.
I believe the photos I create on 35mm film aren’t just for today—they’re for generations. They’ll live on, passed down from one generation to the next, reminding future generations of the love, joy, and spontaneity that filled your wedding day. Film holds the kind of magic that lets you relive those emotions in a way that digital simply can’t replicate.
It’s not about making your wedding photos look like something out of a magazine or Pinterest board. It’s about capturing you—the real moments, the laughter, the raw emotion, and everything that makes your day uniquely yours. And when I shoot 35mm film, I know I’m capturing those moments in the most authentic, timeless way possible.
This is my WHY on why I shoot 35mm Film and why it comes included in every wedding package.
Let’s get your day captured in it’s truest form.
X,
