Why I Choose to Shoot in Both Film and Digital Photography
Blending nostalgia and modern convenience for timeless storytelling
When people book me, one of the first questions I often hear is: “Why do you shoot in both film and digital?”
The short answer: because each brings something special to the table — and together, they help me create the most honest, beautiful version of your story.
The Magic of Film Photography
Film is where my heart is. There’s something about the way it renders light, the softness of the tones, and the tiny imperfections that make each image feel alive. Film slows me down, forcing me to be intentional with every frame.
In a world that moves fast, film feels different. It feels personal.
Warm, timeless colors that never go out of style
Dreamy grain and texture that add depth and emotion
True-to-life skin tones that flatter and feel natural
Every time I click the shutter on my film camera, I know I’m creating something that will still feel magical decades from now.
The Benefits of Digital Photography
While film is my first love, digital photography offers flexibility and speed that’s important for certain parts of a session or wedding day.
With digital, I can:
Capture fast-moving moments without missing a beat
Offer instant sneak peeks for couples who can’t wait
Shoot in low light situations where film can be tricky
Ensure I have a full backup of important moments
Digital allows me to keep up with the pace of the day while still delivering the depth and artistry of my film work.
Why I Use Both
By blending film and digital photography, I get the best of both worlds:
Film gives your gallery a nostalgic, cinematic feel
Digital ensures every important moment is preserved
Together, they create a gallery that is both timeless and complete
This hybrid approach means you don’t have to choose between artistry and reliability — you get both.
What It Means for Your Photos
When you book with me, you’re getting a mix of artistic, film-inspired imagery alongside clean, crisp digital coverage. Your gallery will flow seamlessly — warm and romantic, yet sharp and full of life.
I’ll use film when the light is just right and the moment calls for something soulful. I’ll switch to digital when I need to capture fast action, low light, or big group moments.
For Clients Who Value Story and Experience
If you’re drawn to the rich, emotional feel of film but still want the reassurance of digital, you’re my kind of people. My goal is to give you a gallery that feels authentic, intentional, and beautifully you.
