I couldn’t have asked for better photographers and videographers. They did an amazing job capturing my wedding day. Not only were they supportive throughout the day, but they also made me feel special and beautiful. I’m so grateful to have met Andrew and Roma — they helped me with everything, from the smallest details to the biggest ones. When I saw the photos and then the video, I was completely blown away.

FAQs

Shooting on Kodak film gives your wedding photos a timeless, organic look — grain, natural texture, and soft color depth that digital often cannot replicate. Film captures light differently: subtle tonal shifts, gentle contrast, and a nostalgic atmosphere. This means your images age beautifully and stay classic, not trendy. If you want an elegant, story‑driven album with soul and authenticity — film is about feeling, not just flawless pixels.
Yes — film often thrives in natural, imperfect light. Overcast skies, soft shade, golden hour glow, even light rain: film handles all that with grace. Kodak film has latitude and character — highlight and shadow roll‑off that gives mood and depth. We also bring experience, backup lighting and adaptability, so even changing weather won’t compromise the final photos.
With film, every frame counts — but we shoot with care and intentionality. For a full wedding day we plan enough rolls to cover all key moments: getting ready, ceremony, portraits, reception. Typically you’ll receive 200–300+ edited images (depending on package) — each hand‑selected and beautifully processed. We combine film with digital back‑ups when needed to ensure nothing important is lost. That balance gives you film aesthetics + reliability.
Absolutely. Our vintage‑style film wedding is fully compatible with digital add‑ons. We can shoot video (digital or film‑based), or provide a mix: film for portraits + digital for documentary coverage. That way you get both cinematic texture and practical coverage. It’s your story — we shape the medium to match.
ilm processing, scanning (if chosen) and detailed color correction take extra time compared to digital. For a wedding, expect 4–6 weeks delivery for edited film photos. We treat each frame like a piece of art — careful scanning, color grading, film‑specific edits, and quality control. That wait ensures depth, consistency, and the true vintage look you booked. Good art can’t be rushed.
Yes — we treat film weddings with the same professionalism as any job. We bring extra rolls, backup film cameras, spare batteries and media, and we’re insured. In case of unexpected problems (weather, equipment), we adapt: supplement with digital if needed, shift schedule, or use controlled indoor lighting. Our goal is to deliver your story — film adds texture, but reliability remains priority.
