I photograph weddings on digital and 35mm film. Usually both together. Sometimes the whole day on film.
I like the colour, the grain and the small uncertainties. I also like having digital there when the light has gone and the dancing has become inadvisable. There are good reasons to carry both.
Film alongside digital
You can add five rolls of 35mm film for £500, in addition to your digital wedding coverage.
I work with both throughout the day, choosing which camera makes sense for what’s happening. Digital gives me room to experiment and keep going in difficult light. Film brings a different way of looking: fewer frames, and no immediate opportunity to inspect what I’ve just done.
The five-roll option adds film to a digitally photographed wedding. It doesn’t mean the whole day is photographed on film.
A wedding entirely on film
I also photograph some weddings entirely on 35mm film. That is a separate arrangement, quoted for the day you have planned.
Every part of the day is photographed on film, from getting ready through to the evening. We’ll discuss the light, the timings and what that means for the photographs before deciding whether it suits your wedding.
Oliver and Zoe’s wedding at Wellington Wood was photographed entirely on Kodak Gold 200. A ceremony in the woods, hard summer light, deep shadows and the dance floor. The whole day is there to see.
Matthew & Taylor — the film photographs
The photographs below come from Matthew and Taylor’s three-day festival wedding, which I photographed on film and digital.
You can also see the digital photographs from the same wedding.
