Film Photography-Major Annoucement #1

Some of you may remember my “Going back to my roots” blog post I did a while back about my trip to Italy and how shooting film again made me realize how much I missed it. So after a LOT of researching and analyzing and thinking about how to make this work with my business, I am finally ready to give you the first part of my big announcement! In addition to photographing in a digital format, I will now be offering a 100% film package!

Soon I will be telling you all about the joys of film and the beauty of this fine art! But you have to wait for the second part of the big announcement that is coming very soon

Many of you may know this, but when I started my business 7 years ago, film is all I shot on. I didn’t actually own a digital camera until about 2005/06 and even then I was still a film lover! In college, where I studied photography, I was taught that film was the ultimate in “fine art” mediums and digital was just a sell out…well I suppose times have changed a bit, right? Digital photography will, for now, be my main medium 

A little about the package I will be offering and the equipment I will be using:

~The package will only be a 5-7 hour package, preferably daylight only

~I will be shooting on 2-3 different types of cameras. A Canon 35mm I will still be able to use all my yummy Canon lenses with this camera), a Contax 645 Medium Format and a Mamiya Twin Lens Reflex camera (this is a vintage camera that shoot in a square format)

~Included in the package is the negatives to the film and the print rights to the scanned images.

~No photoshoping will be done to any of the images (except for dust spotting, film is known to collect dust and can show up on your images)

(as a side note, if you are interested in having me photograph another type of session on film, such as children or boudoir, please contact me)

I have spent many months working on perfecting the printing and scanning process of my images (no, I don’t do this myself, I found a fabulous lab that takes care of everything for me) and I am confident that I can deliver to you beautiful, seemless images that capture your day in a way that only film images can.

To those of you who have helped me and supported me through this process, thank you. I could not have done this with out you.

This is a pretty exclusive package. I will only be shooting 4 “all film” weddings per year and I already have one wedding booked. If you are seriously interested in exploring this as an option for your wedding please feel free to contact me to schedule a meeting.

Below are images that were shot on color film with a Contax 645 camera. None of these image have been touched in photoshop, except to add my logo.
