In a world of instant everything, there’s something deeply beautiful about slowing down — about capturing a moment not just with pixels, but with light, texture, soul.
Film photography is an art form that doesn’t just document what you looked like — it captures how it felt.
As a wedding photographer who works with both film and digital formats, I often get asked:
“Why does it matter?”
“Is film really better?”
“Should we care?”
The truth?
It changes everything.
Let’s talk about why hiring a film wedding photographer who shoots on both formats can take your wedding memories from beautiful… to unforgettable.

What Makes Film Photography Different?
Film captures depth, softness, and tones that digital emulates — but never quite replicates.
The dynamic range, the grain, the painterly quality of real film creates an emotion that feels timeless.
In wedding photography, film does something magical:
It slows down time.
It turns fleeting glances, brushed fingertips, a tear caught in sunlight — into pure art.

Why I Shoot Both Film and Digital?
Each format has its strengths.
• Film is perfect for portraits, details, sun-drenched outdoor ceremonies — moments where softness and depth matter most.
• Digital allows flexibility for fast-moving receptions, low light, and spontaneous moments where agility is key.
By weaving both into your wedding story, you get the best of both worlds:
Romantic artistry and real, raw storytelling. One of my favourite film stocks
