Having started my journey to photography shooting with analogue film cameras I will always remain passionate about the colour palette, unique process and inherent quality of traditional film.

In the fast-paced world of wedding photography, capturing those fleeting, intimate moments is essential. While digital cameras offer speed and convenience, there’s something uniquely timeless about the images produced by a 35mm rangefinder camera. I incorporate a small 35mm rangefinder camera with beautiful Zeiss prime lenses into my wedding photography

The lightweight design, combined with the superb quality of Zeiss prime lenses, allows me to capture the full spectrum of highlights go a wedding day—from wide, sweeping scenes to intimate, emotive portraits. By blending the old and the new, I can deliver a collection of images that are not only beautiful but also timeless, offering my clients a unique and treasured keepsake of their special day.

Lightweight and Efficient

Weddings are dynamic events, with moments unfolding rapidly. A small 35mm rangefinder camera is a lightweight option that doesn’t weigh you down, allowing for greater mobility and less fatigue over a long day of shooting. This camera fits easily into my kit alongside my digital equipment, ready to be pulled out for those special moments where I want to capture the timeless beauty of film.

Complementing Digital Workflow

Using a 35mm rangefinder camera alongside my digital setup offers the best of both worlds. While my digital camera handles the rapid-fire shots and instant previews, the rangefinder allows me to slow down and compose each shot thoughtfully. This dual approach ensures that I capture the day’s fast-paced action and its quiet, reflective moments with equal finesse.

Whether it is 35mm and its grain or the beauty of medium format film, you can choose to add a few rolls on to a full day collection package. I then shoot this along side digital. Film has a wonderful perfectly, imperfect nature, the colours and focus are completely different to that of modern day digital.
