Why Choose Film for Your Engagement Session?
Shooting your engagement session with 35mm film offers a timeless, retro aesthetic that digital simply can’t replicate. The warm tones, subtle grain, and nostalgic feel of film photography create a unique look that elevates your images, making them feel like cherished heirlooms.
The 35mm Retro Look
- Warm and Nostalgic Tones: Film naturally produces soft, warm colors that evoke a sense of nostalgia. This look is perfect for engagement sessions, adding romance and authenticity to your photos.
- Timeless Grain: The grain in film adds character and depth to your images, making every frame feel like a piece of art.
- Unique and Unpredictable: Film captures light and color in a way that digital cameras can’t duplicate, giving each shot a distinct and organic quality.
Why Film Is Perfect for Engagement Sessions
- Storytelling Magic: Film photography encourages intentionality. With every shot carefully composed, your session becomes a meaningful story, told frame by frame.
- Authentic Moments: The film’s slower pace allows you to savor the moment. This creates authentic, unhurried interactions that translate beautifully in photos.
- Vintage Aesthetic: If you love retro vibes or are drawn to a classic style, 35mm film delivers a timeless aesthetic that pairs beautifully with everything from urban backdrops to nature settings.
What to Expect During Your Film Engagement Session
- A Slower, More Intentional Experience: Shooting with film is a slower process than digital, giving us the chance to focus on creating thoughtful compositions.
- Limited Shots, Maximum Creativity: With a set number of exposures per roll, every frame counts. This encourages creativity and ensures your photos are carefully considered.
- A Mix of Film and Digital: While the film will be the star of your session, we can also incorporate digital shots for variety and convenience.
Tips for a Stunning Film Engagement Session
- Choose Timeless Outfits: Neutral tones and classic styles pair beautifully with the film’s warm, organic look.
- Opt for Soft Lighting: Film shines in natural light. Golden hour or overcast skies provide the perfect conditions for dreamy, cinematic images.
- Embrace the Unexpected: The film captures the beauty of imperfections. Light leaks, grain, and soft focus only add to its charm.
