I've always strived to offer my clients something more than your typical wedding photography. While I've noticed that film has become more popular and even "trendy" in some circles, I wanted to make sure that film aligned with what I was already doing. To be intentional.

Film is more than just an aesthetic. In our digital age, it's an experience few get to be a part of. It's exclusive because of the technical ability needed to use film well, but also beautifully inclusive:

People are used to seeing wedding photographers with a digital camera, often a standard DSLR. But when I roll up to a wedding with something compact and unconventional, people are immediately interested:

They want to learn more; they begin talking about how their family had a film camera to document milestones and vacations; and any nervousness they had about being photographed melts away.

I cherish these moments of connection and delight with my clients and their guests—and I know they do as well, especially when it shows in the final images.

More authenticity, always.

Why do you shoot weddings on film?

Approximately 30% of the entire gallery if clients decide that analogue film is right for them.

How many film images do you provide?

Staying curious has always allowed me to evolve and elevate my photography work year after year. So, choosing to scan my own film negatives feeds that curiosity while also allowing me to put more care into the images I create for my clients.

I use a couple of different scanning methods depending on the type of film used: one that is tried and true using a machine from the early 2000s, and another being on the forefront of innovation. I love the mix of artistry and technology that this job provides.

Why do you scan your own film negatives?

For over a decade now, primarily with personal work. However, I decided to incorporate film into weddings three years ago once I knew I could use it intentionally throughout a full wedding day.
