The Art of Film: Gabriella & Adrian’s Timeless Moments Captured on Film

This past year, we embarked on a journey back to the roots of photography by incorporating film into our repertoire. While the latest digital cameras offer unparalleled convenience and precision, there’s something profoundly grounding about the tactile process of shooting with film. It requires a deliberate approach—measuring light, setting up each shot, and manually focusing. This slower, more contemplative method not only deepens our connection to the craft but also sharpens our focus on what truly matters in each frame.

Just last weekend, we had the privilege of photographing Gabriella & Adrian’s wedding, a day already brimming with love and elegance. If you’ve seen our earlier blog, you’ve witnessed the beauty of their day through digital images. Today, we’re sharing something even more special—photos captured with our film cameras, ranging from medium format to 35mm.

As I developed the last roll from that day, I found myself grinning from ear to ear, not just because of the images themselves, but because of the effort and care that went into creating them. There’s a certain magic in the unknown, in not seeing the result immediately, but trusting in the process. The colors, the textures, the very aura of these images—they evoke a sense of nostalgia and emotion that digital photography can’t quite replicate.

Each frame, with its raw beauty and subtle imperfections, carries a depth of feeling that is both timeless and unique. These images, born from a blend of patience, skill, and a touch of unpredictability, have the power to turn even the most seasoned photographer into a sentimental fool. I could gaze at these photos for days, lost in the emotion and authenticity they convey. Film photography, with all its nuances, captures something the digital world never will—the soul of the moment.
