Film, with all its surprises

Film was one of the first ways I learned to look carefully, and it is still one of my favourite ways to photograph a wedding. I have used 35mm point-and-shoots, film SLRs with interchangeable lenses, and medium-format cameras for years. Each one asks for a slightly different kind of attention.

Film can be added to my wedding photography collections whenever that extra layer feels right for the celebration.
