Happy Film Friday!

H+N eloped at the courthouse then we took photos at the top of a parking deck with their car, some bubbly, and lots of love!

All on black and white 35mm film!

Film was the perfect addition for their nostalgic vibe!

I love the timelessness and how every photo feels like it could be a vinyl cover!

Let me know if you have any questions about film!

Fall weddings can be colorful too!!

🩷 Can we get some love for her PINK veil?! 🩷

The day was perfect - from her green shoes to a rainbow of fall flowers to a cotton candy machine at cocktail hour!

The day before their wedding I met everyone for a pickleball tournament and it was the best way to kick off wedding weekend!!

Wedding day was full of personal touches, unique details, and joyful moments!

Drone, 35mm film, and colorful flowers!!!

I love how film really captures the authenticity of the day and all the amazing candid and unplanned moments! And how cool are my drone photos?! They really show off the epicness of the venue and details from a unique perspective!

Outdoor ceremony flipped to alfresco dining and dancing under the stars is the dream!! It really felt like one big family gathering and party!

Grateful to my amazing couple who even though they were the ones getting married made sure me and growing baby were taken care of! Truly felt so loved! And a big thank you to this incredible wedding vendor team!

🎞️ Happy Film Friday! 🎞️

In my totally biased opinion as a film wedding photogrpaher, film is more than a trend!

Here is why I will always be a film wedding photogrpaher and am still in love with the colors, the authenticity, and the vibe after over a decade of photographing with all kinds of film and film cameras!

✨ Save or repost this to read later ✨

Film is timeless, romantic, and the perfect compliment to digital photos on wedding day. As a film and documentary wedding photographer, I live for those sun soaked moments, flash lit dance floors, and totally unexpected candids. Film wedding photography offers irreplicable dreamy forms, authentic grain, and heirloom quality that feels as pure and good as listening to vinyl records.

Let me know if you have any film questions or if you’re looking for a film wedding photographer who mixes digital and film to tell your complete wedding story!

Tips for cinematic engagement photos ⬇️⬇️

✨ save this post for later! ✨

My brain thinks in images and when I talk with clients a movie plays in my head. How does the day not only look visually but FEEL.

1. Pick time of day that matches the look you’re going for - maybe it’s sunrise morning fog, or mid day harsh light with great sky, afternoon golden hour, blue hour evening, or dark for epic street lights or starry skies.

2. Mood board - this helps guide photographers and your couples on outfit inspo and which location fits the vibe

3. Movement + emotion + angels = how I think through the day. We’re walking, talking, dancing, maybe writing a note, something that evokes emotions, or doing an activity like bike riding or picnic that’s just fun. And I’m always thinking of wide, medium, and tight to get full variety!

Hope this helps!

Yay for love being documented on both film and digital!

All you need is a field and your love!

To me, storytelling photography is about taking photos that make you feel something. From small details to candid captures to imperfect film photos.

Photographing the true and pure essence of the vibe, the background, and the emotion radiating is about knowing when to step back to let the moment happen and vs when to step in to truly elevate the photo.

Every day is different, every couple is different, and that’s why storytelling photography is the best way as a journalist and artist I can gift you back these frozen forever memories and moments that take you back.

Just be yourself, let go, and have fun 🥰
