Film isn't a trend for me. It's honestly where all of this started.

I fell in love with photography in a high school black and white film class. I'd spend hours in the darkroom developing my own rolls, watching images slowly show up on the paper. That's still how I think about your wedding day. Slow down, pay attention, and never rush the real stuff.

Film makes you do that. You can't fire off a hundred frames and hope one works. You notice the light first, you wait for the moment, and then you trust your gut. Every frame means something.

And you can genuinely feel the difference. The grain, the softness, the way the light kind of glows around the edges. Film photos have a texture that makes you feel like you could step right back into that moment.

That's why film is part of every wedding I photograph. 35mm, medium format, Polaroids, all of it. It's not an upgrade you have to talk yourself into. It's just how I work.

If you want your day in motion too, you can add Super 8. It's warm, grainy, a little dreamy, and honestly the closest thing to watching your own memories play back.

For me, film isn't about nostalgia. It's about taking real care with the moments you only get once. Your photos should already feel lived in the day you get them, and they'll only mean more with every year that passes.
