I love bringing an old film camera to weddings or shoots. As a Los Angeles wedding photographer, I LOVE how film adds nostalgic vibes to a day. The unedited moments from your wedding, elopement, or shoot are a special addition to a digital gallery. The magic of film is multifaceted; from limited shots on a roll, to film’s perfectly imperfect nature, to the anticipation of development, every roll thrills me. Film wedding photography reminds us to slow down, savor the moment, and remember what mattered most. I love distilling the art of photography down for a few moments on a wedding day. Film brings us back in time to when we couldn’t snap photos on our phone and instantly share them. It truly is a timeless add on to any occasion.
So, what does a film wedding photography really look like? Here’s just a taste of what this wedding at Terra looked like on 35mm film! From getting ready photos, to the reception, I had my film camera on me ready to capture special moments. The tones and texture of the shots are so much fun. As a Los Angeles wedding photographer, film is one of those things that makes my job extra exciting. I can’t see the result right away, and I have to be incredibly intentional with the photos I take.
