Wedding Film Photography

I love to photograph weddings on film, because wedding film photography has a classic, textured and dreamy look to it that nothing can beat. In an article I read last week in The New York Times: “In the Digital Age, Wedding Film Photography Has a Resurgence: Across the country, more couples are seeking out film photographers to shoot their weddings.”
Yes! It’s so nice to see this trend and to have film photography validated by the New York Times. Here are some favorite wedding film images I photographed in the past 15 years. As you can see, the colors can be vibrant or muted, depending on the film stock, or development. The grain of the film is visible. Digital images do not have grain instead they have pixelation when enlarged. In the accidentally blurry portrait of Crissy in her hotel room, you can really see the pretty grain.
