Analog Film at Weddings.

There are shoeboxes stacked in our cedar closet filled with prints and polaroids. Every image I have up until my late 30’s was shot on film and printed. Theres really nothing better than sitting on the floor with a bottle of wine, thumbing through piles of old photographs, I don’t have kids, so someday they will all end up in the hands of my nieces & nephews, so writing details on the back will be thew only way they know who, when and where. My Grandma did this and I love seeing her handwriting. So I do it too.

Around 2022 when analog made its comeback. Mike & I were already ready already. Since 2015, we had been loosely shooting on film at weddings for fun, on our own dime, simply for the satisfaction, so when the demand came in, we were ready with open arms and have pretty much gone full throttle ever since. Shooting weddings on film for couples who actually love it as much as we do has breathed immense excitement & new life into our work. Being limited to 36 shots per roll has strengthened our intuition and made every press of the button even more intentional.

This is in no way a dis to digital, which has its place and we still use it and we edit our digital images to compliment the film. its jsut that film gives a photo that was taken yesterday the feeling of nostalgia.

We shoot all weddings on multiple 35mm and medium format cameras, and we still shoot on digital (fuji) cameras when we feel its right. If putting our film to digital delivery in percentages, Mike leans very heavy at about 80%-90%, where I lean in around 60%-70%. However, if we get a client that genuinely prefers digital, we can absolutely do that too. Our digital photos are, and always have been, edited to emulate film so it’s all cohesive no matter what.

Our film is developed & scanned by our favorite lab in Brooklyn, which is family owned and operated by Connie & Tony (married 35 years!) It’s all delivered to you as hi-res scans and we hope that you actually print them. Due to the nature of film, the camera it was in, and the processes by the lab, the photos may have beautiful sun flares, pretty light leaks, friendly ghosts, and delicious grain.
