Weddings

Some love stories are meant to be captured on film. There’s something about the way 35mm film wedding photography preserves a moment—the grain, the soft tones, the subtle imperfections that make each frame feel like a cherished memory frozen in time. For Hannah and Jacob Emery, their wedding day wasn’t just about saying “I do.” It was about honoring the love they had nurtured, the traditions that shaped them, and the people who stood by them through every chapter. And what better way to document their day than through the timeless artistry of film photography?

The Beauty of Film: Nostalgia in Every Frame

Hannah and Jacob chose to include 35mm film photography in their wedding collection because they wanted their photos to feel like heirlooms—something they could hold, treasure, and pass down for generations. Unlike digital images, film carries an organic richness, a depth of emotion that can’t be replicated. The gentle imperfections—the grain that dances in the light, the way the colors soften into each other—make each image feel alive, as if whispering the story behind it.

As the morning light streamed through the windows, the first clicks of the film camera captured Hannah in the quiet moments before the ceremony. The lace of her gown caught the soft glow of the day, her veil draped delicately over her shoulders as she read a letter from Jacob. On film, the moment felt ethereal—something sacred, suspended in time.

A Ceremony Filled with Reverence and Romance

The couple exchanged vows in a historic chapel, where candlelight flickered against the stained-glass windows. Furthermore, as Hannah walked down the aisle, her father’s proud yet teary-eyed expression was caught forever on a single frame of film stock.

Film photography shines in the in-between moments, the glances and gestures that make a wedding day feel real. A shot of Hannah and Jacob exchanging a quiet laugh after slipping on their rings. The way the guests’ faces softened as they witnessed their love. Lastly, the gentle grain of the film gave every image the feel of an old love letter—tangible, deeply personal, everlasting.

An Evening of Golden Light and Dancing

As the sun began to set, the reception unfolded under strands of twinkling lights. The warm tones, the subtle blur of movement as they twirled —it all felt like a scene from a dream.

The final rolls of film captured the night in its purest form. Every clinking of glasses, the way Hannah’s dress swayed as she and Jacob ran through a tunnel of sparklers. No staged perfection—just real, unfiltered joy.

A Love Story That Feels Like Home

Looking through Hannah and Jacob’s film photos is like flipping through the pages of a storybook—one filled with laughter, tenderness, and a love so deep it feels like it was always meant to be. Their wedding day, preserved on 35mm, isn’t just a memory. It’s a feeling, forever alive in the grain and light of each frame.
