Weddings, Elopements & Engagements

“Kodak sells film, but they don't advertise film; they advertise memories.” ― Theodore Levitt

I shoot film because, to me, it looks more real. That might sound strange to people used to digital photography, where sharpness and clarity are often the goal. But for me, film is the closest representation of how I actually see the world. That’s because I have Visual Snow Syndrome, a neurological condition that causes me to see constant static, much like film grain, over everything.

What is Visual Snow Syndrome?

Visual Snow Syndrome (VSS) is a rare neurological condition that affects how the brain processes vision. The most common symptom is seeing a persistent layer of noise—tiny dots or static—across the entire visual field, like an old TV stuck between channels. It doesn’t go away when I close my eyes, and it’s always there, affecting everything I see.

Seeing the World Through Grain

For many, this condition can be disorienting or frustrating. But for me, it’s simply how I’ve always seen the world. And when I discovered film photography, I realized it was the first medium that truly reflected my own vision.

Digital images, with their smooth, hyper-clear precision, have always felt somewhat artificial to me. They lack the texture and movement that are part of my everyday sight. Film, on the other hand, embraces imperfection. The natural grain structure in film images mirrors the static I see all the time, making it feel more organic, more authentic.

When I shoot film, I’m not just capturing a moment—I’m capturing the way I experience that moment. The subtle grain, the soft tones, the way light reacts to celluloid—all of it aligns with how I process the world visually.

Shooting film isn’t just an aesthetic choice for me; it’s a deeply personal one. It’s a way of bridging the gap between my reality and the way others perceive it. In a world where most people see in crisp digital clarity, film photography allows me to create images that feel true to my experience.

When you hire me, you are hiring my artistic style, which is candid, emotive, and timeless. This creative look will wow you, your family,, and friends for years to come

This isn’t just about pretty pictures—it’s about the experience. You deserve to feel comfortable, natural, and fully present on your day, not overly posed or rushed through a shot list. I focus on capturing real, unfiltered emotions—the fleeting looks, the deep belly laughs, the small but powerful moments that make your love story uniquely yours.

1️⃣ Let’s Connect

We’ll chat about your wedding plans, your love story, and what kind of images matter most to you. I’ll walk you through my process and answer any questions you have.

2️⃣ Your Wedding Day

My approach is calm, observant, and intuitive. I guide when needed, but most of the time, I let things unfold naturally—capturing the energy, emotion, and beauty of the day without making it feel like a photoshoot.

3️⃣ The Reveal

Film photography takes time—and it’s worth the wait. I send all film to Gelatin Labs for professional development and scanning, which typically takes about two weeks. Once I receive the scans, I spend approximately two months editing your images, carefully ensuring every detail is perfected.

✔ Final wedding galleries are delivered within 8-10 weeks
✔ Engagement sessions are delivered in 6-8 weeks

Your final gallery will include a mix of film scans and high-resolution digital images—a true visual story of your day, timeless and beautifully preserved.
