Grit & Grain

The tactile feel of loading the film, the satisfying click of the shutter, the anticipation of seeing the developed images – it connects me to the craft in a way that digital simply can’t.

It forces me to be present, to be intentional with every frame. It’s about more than just capturing a moment; it’s about feeling it, imprinting it onto a physical medium with a unique soul.

That passion translates directly into the images I create for you, infused with a warmth and authenticity that I truly believe comes from the heart of film.

Yes, the look of film is a huge part of the “why.” There’s a certain magic in the way film renders colours – often softer, more nuanced, with a beautiful tonal range.

The grain, far from being a flaw, adds a texture and character that gives each image a unique soul. It’s an organic, slightly imperfect beauty that resonates deeply with me and, I believe, adds a layer of timelessness and artistry to your wedding photographs.

It’s a look that evokes a feeling, a mood, in a way that can be difficult to replicate perfectly in the digital realm.

Ultimately, the experience of shooting your wedding on 35mm film for me is one of heightened awareness, intentionality, and a deeper connection to the art and history of photography.

It’s a process that I find incredibly fulfilling and one that I believe allows me to capture the essence of your day in a truly unique and timeless way.

You can add full analogue onto my digital package or go FULL 35mm for your day.

Starting at £750

WILL YOU TRAVEL & IS IT EXTRA?

I travel all over the UK, EUROPE & the rest of the world. From Manchester, London, Italy & New Zealand. I can go anywhere!

SHOULD WE BOOK A PHOTOGRAPHER THAT HAS SHOT AT OUR VENUE?

Short answer, no! It’s not a deal breaker that’s for sure. I love discovering new venues, going into a space with a fresh perspective. I also love going back to venues that I have worked at and have a fantastic relationship with. So it’s win win!

DO YOU OFFER VIDEOGRAPHY?

I don’t offer wedding films but I can recommend some amazing folk who do. Finding someone with a similar style/approach is really important so something to consider.

I do offer SUPER 8 films as an alternative though – get in touch for more info.

WHAT DOES YOUR COVERAGE TYPICALLY COVER?

I believe in telling your full story, from start to (almost) finish, without you ever having to worry about the clock.

Extensive Coverage: My coverage begins two hours before your ceremony and continues through the first set of the band or DJ, ensuring I capture the essence of your dance floor celebrations. We can discuss specific timings in more detail during your consultation.

YOU SHOOT FILM? TELL US MORE.

Yes, I do shoot film, and it’s something I’m really passionate about.

For me, film photography isn’t just a nostalgic choice; it brings a unique, timeless quality to images that digital often can’t replicate. The colours are often richer, the tones are smoother, and there’s a beautiful, organic grain that adds character and depth. It creates a dreamy, authentic feel that truly stands out.

Beyond the aesthetic, the process of shooting film encourages a more deliberate and thoughtful approach. With a limited number of exposures on each roll, I’m more intentional about every shot, focusing on composition, light, and capturing the genuine emotion of the moment. This careful consideration translates into truly special images for you.

WHEN/HOW DO YOU DELIVER OUR PHOTOS?

High-Resolution Digital Downloads: You’ll receive all your images via a personalized online gallery. This link is shareable with friends and family, and it remains live for one year, allowing for unlimited downloads.

You’ll receive previews 48 hours after your wedding and your final gallery up to 12 weeks.

HOW DO WE SECURE THE DATE?

To officially secure your date, I’ll send you a digital booking form to review, choose the right package for you & any extras. Once you send the booking form & fee it officially reserves your wedding date in my calendar, ensuring no one else can book it.

I’ll then send you a confirmation and often a little welcome pack or more information to kick off our journey together.
