There’s something about a photograph made on film that a screen simply can’t replicate. The warmth. The grain. The feeling that a real moment was captured on a real piece of chemistry — not just data on a memory card.

I’ve been shooting on film since the 1970s, long before digital existed, and I never lost my love for it. These days, with so many couples rediscovering analogue photography, I’m delighted to offer Shot on Film as a bolt-on addition to any of my wedding packages.

While I’m covering your day digitally as usual — nothing changes there — I’ll also be working alongside with a film camera, quietly picking out the moments that feel right for it. The quiet ones. The in-between ones. The ones that deserve to last a little longer than a swipe. Not to mention the portrait session that creates those “Signature images”

What you receive:

You’ll get a set of 6″x4″ prints from your wedding day, along with your original negatives. Those negatives are yours to keep forever — meaning you can return to them years from now and order reprints, enlargements, canvases, or anything else you like, through any lab you choose. There are no restrictions, no ongoing costs, and no middleman. A full day would use a couple of rolls of film.

Why film?

Film doesn’t just look different — it *feels* different. The tones are richer, the highlights hold beautifully, and there’s a quality that tends to age incredibly well. In twenty years, your film photographs will still look like photographs. That matters.

Who is this for?

Honestly? Anyone who wants something a little more tangible alongside their digital gallery. Couples who love the aesthetic. Those who grew up with prints around the house and want that again. Or simply anyone who likes the idea of holding their wedding day in their hands — not just scrolling past it.

Shot on Film is available to add to any wedding booking. Get in touch and I’ll be happy to talk through how it would work on your day.
