Truly some of my best film work TO DATE and I literally could (and have) cry 😭 this journey has been so incredibly worth it!
After 7 years of professionally photographing weddings digitally, I finally took the dive into film to learn the art and science behind the craft. Now, over a year into my film journey, I’m confidently offering mixed medium galleries that blend digital, 35mm, and medium format film.
Learning the art and science of film has completely reinspired me as a creative. Truly the most rewarding (and emotional) creative decision I’ve made.
This is your sign to push past the P&S cameras and learn the true art form that is film photography 👏🏼 put your camera in manual mode and CREATE! The “mistakes” are what we learn from the most and often end up being some of our best creative work!
I promise, you won’t regret pushing yourself to the next level in your film journey!

Delving into film photography is not just an artistic pursuit, but an emotional journey that can significantly reshape your creative identity. After over seven years of working primarily with digital cameras, I felt compelled to explore the rich, tactile world of film. Making this transition has proven to be one of the most rewarding adventures I have embarked upon in my career. The art and science behind film photography provide a unique experience as you engage with various mediums, such as 35mm and medium format film. Each type brings its own character and aesthetic, allowing for mixed medium galleries that transcend traditional photography. Using films like Portra 400 and Portra 800 has helped me create stunning imagery that resonates deeply with my creative vision. When you push your limits, whether by experimenting with manual settings or by exploring different film formats, you unlock a wealth of potential within your work. This journey highlights the importance of embracing mistakes as part of the learning process—a philosophy that has enriched my photography exponentially. Film inherently teaches us patience and precision, making each shot a moment worth capturing. For anyone considering making the leap into film photography, I wholeheartedly recommend it. The connection you develop with your camera and the images you create will bring immense satisfaction, reminding you of the magic of photography as an art form. Whether you’re a seasoned photographer or just starting, moving beyond the ease of point-and-shoot cameras to explore the depth of film photography will undoubtedly be worth it.
