35mm Film - What is it and why do we love it?
Are you planning your dream wedding? Congratulations! We understand there’s so much to think about, from choosing the venue, booking your vendors and everything else in between. But amidst all the excitement, you might also be considering how you want to capture all those precious moments. Allow us to introduce you to the world of 35mm film photography! While we are primarily digital photographers, we love 35mm film and that is why we offer it to all of our couples! Let us tell you why:
Spontaneity - Capturing those candid moments
Your wedding day is all about celebrating your love and the beautiful moments you share with your friends and family. One of the most charming aspects of 35mm film is its ability to capture spontaneous, candid shots that truly reflect the emotions of the moment.
With digital photography, it's easy to take dozens of shots to get the perfect one, but 35mm film forces us to slow down and savor the moment. There's an element of surprise when you finally see your developed film - you'll relive those genuine smiles, hearty laughter, and even those happy tears as if they're happening all over again.
Whether it's the smile on your partners face during your vows or a stolen glance between you both, 35mm film is a master at preserving these heartfelt, unplanned moments. It adds an extra layer of authenticity and emotion to your wedding album that digital photography simply can't replicate.
Nostalgia - A timeless and vintage touch
There's something undeniably romantic about the vintage charm of 35mm film. It's a medium that has been around for generations, and its enduring appeal lies in the nostalgia it evokes.
Film photography adds an air of elegance and sophistication to your wedding photos, making them stand out in the age of digital snapshots. It's a choice that resonates with couples who appreciate the artistry of photography and want their wedding day to be captured with a touch of old-world charm. Your wedding album won't just be a collection of pictures; it'll be a cherished heirloom that you'll pass down through generations.
Imagine looking back at your wedding album in years to come and feeling transported back to that magical day. The slightly faded colors, the distinct grain, and the soft, dreamy quality of film images will give your wedding photos a timeless quality. That brings us to our next point…
Impressive Depth, Colour, and Grain
One of the most captivating aspects of 35mm film is the way it captures depth, colour, and grain. Film has a unique character that digital cameras struggle to replicate. When you choose to add film to your wedding gallery, you'll be adding a distinct visual style that sets your photos apart.
Film photography excels at capturing rich and vibrant colours, giving your wedding photos a vivid and lifelike quality. The colours are true to life, and they pop in a way that digital photos often can't match. Whether it's the lush greenery in your outdoor ceremony or the warm, candlelit ambiance of your reception, film captures it all with remarkable fidelity. Moreover, film's inherent grain adds a subtle texture to your photos that adds even more depth and character.
In Conclusion
Choosing to add 35mm film to your wedding is like selecting a vintage wine to toast to your love. Its spontaneity, timeless charm, and unmatched visual qualities make it a wonderful choice for couples who want their wedding day to be immortalised in a truly special way. Embrace the magic of film and let it weave a story that you'll treasure for a lifetime.
