Alongside your digital photos, we shoot real 35mm film at weddings. Real rolls through a real film camera, sent to a lab to be developed & scanned. It's a small add-on, & the frames it gives you have a look presets only imitate.
What is 35mm film photography?
35mm is the classic film format, the same film your parents had in their point-and-shoot. We shoot it through the day on a film camera, then the lab develops & scans every frame. The soft grain, the gentle colour & the way it handles light all come from the film itself.
Real 35mm frames from our weddings, including a church wedding in Palmerston North.
Why shoot film when digital is so good?
Because they do different jobs. Digital is the full, sharp record of your whole day, hundreds of photos you can count on. Film is a smaller set of frames with a warmth to them, like old family photos the day they arrive.
What do you get with 35mm film?
- 40 to 120 frames, depending on the option you choose (40 to 50, 70 to 80, or 100 to 120).
- Shot alongside your digital coverage, so your gallery covers the whole day regardless.
- Lab developed & scanned, then delivered with the rest of your photos.
35mm is an add-on to a photo collection. It's also available on engagement sessions, which is a lovely way to try it before the wedding.

Can you have 35mm & Super 8 together?
Yes!
If you love the film look, 35mm stills & Super 8 film together give you a whole analog layer to your day: grainy photos & a grainy moving memory, both on real film.
