The Approach

Weddings photographed entirely on film

Every wedding is photographed on 35mm and medium format film, whether for a few hours or from getting ready to the dance floor. The approach is documentary: close to the day, attentive to what is real, and gently directed only when it helps.

At the end, there is something real to hold: the negatives from your wedding come home with you.

What you receive

You receive a carefully edited gallery, high-resolution scans for printing and sharing, private online access, and the original negatives: the physical archive of your day.
