Film Wedding
Photography

There’s something undeniably special about film photography—its rich tones, organic grain, and the way it captures light with a timeless, almost ethereal quality. As a wedding photographer, I’ve always been drawn to the emotion and nostalgia that film brings to an image. Shooting on Kodak Portra 160 & 400 for color and Ilford HP5 for black and white allows me to create wedding photographs that feel both classic and effortlessly modern. Film has a depth that digital can’t quite replicate—the soft highlights, the painterly colors, and the authentic imperfections that make each frame unique.

Including film in my wedding photography isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about storytelling. Film forces me to slow down and be intentional with every frame, capturing moments as they truly unfold. This approach aligns perfectly with my documentary-meets-editorial style—preserving raw, unscripted emotion while ensuring each image feels refined and artfully composed. Whether it's the warm glow of golden hour on Portra 400 or the moody elegance of Ilford HP5, film photography brings an extra layer of depth and nostalgia to your wedding gallery. It’s included in select packages, seamlessly blending with my digital work to create a wedding gallery that’s both timeless and deeply personal.

5 Reasons to Include Film in Your Wedding Gallery

  1. Timeless Aesthetic – Film photography has a rich, organic look that never goes out of style. The soft highlights, fine grain, and beautiful skin tones create images that feel both nostalgic and elegant.

  2. Authentic & Unscripted – With a limited number of frames per roll, film encourages a slower, more intentional approach. Every shot is captured with purpose, resulting in raw, genuine moments that feel effortlessly real.

  3. Dreamy Colors & Texture – Kodak Portra 160 & 400 deliver beautifully soft, true-to-life tones, while Ilford HP5 offers deep, dramatic blacks and whites. Film captures light and skin tones in a way that digital simply can’t replicate.

  4. A Unique Touch to Your Wedding Gallery – Mixing film with digital photography adds variety and depth to your final gallery. The blend of modern crispness with film’s nostalgic charm creates a visually stunning wedding story.

  5. It’s an Experience, Not Just a Photo – There’s magic in the anticipation of film. Unlike instant digital previews, film takes time to develop—adding an element of surprise and artistry to your wedding images.
