Wedding Photos on Film


There is something real about film. Something timeless and true. I’ve always been drawn to it, in it’s many forms; disposable cameras, the 35mm film I would load into the my brick of a film camera in high school, polaroids, pinholes cameras, plastic toy Holgas and Dianas, medium format Mamiyas. I could go on and on about my love affair with film and all of its vessels. 

I’ve thought so much about why we have such an affinity for film. Maybe it’s because in the digital world we live in, where trends are fleeting and tastes are fickle, there is still something dependable, consistent and timeless about the analogue nature of a photo taken on film. It’s intentional, it’s grounded.

A photo on film is taken with a specific aperture in mind, the perfect shutter speed, with light that was observed and adored and the photographer clicked the shutter once, not many times in hopes of getting the right image. *That* was the chosen moment. *That* is the memory you see and feel and get to keep. 


Here you’ll see a mix of 35mm film, medium format taken with a variety of cameras, and polaroids. I love it all.
