Frequently Asked Questions

  • Film offers a warm, rich look that simply cannot be replicated digitally. There’s nothing quite like it. For the once in a lifetime photo that will hang on your wall forever, film will help it look really special.

    The reality is, however, that film doesn’t come cheap, and for the majority of your day digital is a great addition. Think you and your partner laughing on film, and your drunk uncle on digital.

  • You can expect approximately 50 final photos per hour of coverage.

  • This really depends. I generally encourage film during daylight, for your special moments. But it all depends on the size of your wedding, your budget, your venue, and your taste. We can work this out together.

  • I shoot exclusively on 6×4.5 medium format. As a fun add-on, I also offer wide format polaroids.

  • Medium format is a size of film. Most day-to-day film photography you see is shot on 35mm. Medium format film is almost 3 times the physical size of 35mm, meaning you get a much more detailed, tonally rich photograph, with finer grain and a truly ‘once in a lifetime’ appearance. If you wanted to blow it up and print it as wallpaper, you could. It’s the best!

  • As well as the cost of the film itself, I have factored in the cost of developing and scanning per roll. I don’t risk cheaping out and developing at risky labs or posting my rolls. I hand deliver the film to a high quality professional lab in London that I trust. For polaroids, the cost covers the film, scanning, and postage back to you.

    It’s certainly a bit of a luxury - which is why it’s perfect for weddings.

  • I will always try to get your photos to you as soon as I can. Film developing and scanning times at the lab can vary, as well as curating and editing time on my end. They will arrive with you via an online digital gallery within a month, and I frequently beat this timeframe!

  • You want me to leave the edges on your film scans? Some black and white alternates of certain photos? Shoot on black and white film entirely? Don’t want posed photos at all? Don’t be afraid to ask. We’ll cover all of this when we discuss your vision for your day, and can make it happen!

  • Almost everyone feels this way. It is very unusual to hear the opposite. Documentary style coverage will take away the stress of posing from 95% of your day.

    We’ll plan to schedule one or two 10-15 minute photo sessions, depending on your vision for the day. It’s my job to help you feel comfortable for these and catch you in your best light.
