JOHN + HANNAH ON FILM. FILM WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER.
Wednesday, April 10, 2013 at 12:17PM 
John asked me to shoot their pre-wedding session on both film and digital. He needed the quick turnaround that digital offers because their wedding was only a few weeks away -- but he and Hannah both shoot with film cameras, and they love the aesthetic that it offers. I'm equally comfortable shooting either format, but I do feel that my approach when shooting film is more holistic and that I am more present in the moment. I don't have to fuss with settings and the back of the camera, I just shoot. Reloading film offers a natural ebb and flow to the session, and it gives us a chance to breathe, to just be.
I shot these on my Leica M6 TTL with Zeiss Biogon 35 f/2 on Kodak Portra 160. The black and white shots were desaturated in post-processing.

So beautiful - I'm in love with film grain.
I would agree with you about film, it's aesthetic. One shot, no turning back and no re-editing. I had an opportunity to photograph half a wedding on film and it was one of the best decisions I could've made!
I'm glad to have come across your blog as well, cause I'm looking for more inspirations to use film in my wedding work! Cheers, Tomasz
