We're a husband and wife wedding photography team based in Northern California. Our style is filled with natural light, true to life colors, and an authentic, timeless feel inspired by film and California landscapes. Est 2010.

So as you may have noticed from my last blog post, I just started shooting film. That last post included photos from my first roll of film I’ve ever shot, and this post has photos from the second roll I’ve ever shot! I have always found it really interesting when photographers compare their film photos to their digital photos, so I thought I would try it for myself. I went out with my friend Marissa, who is also new to film photography, and we practiced shooting each other. I took my digital camera along with me, partially to compare the photos once I got the film scans back and also because part of me still needed that instant gratification of seeing the photos right away (I know, with film I will learn to be more patient…). I was not trying to get the same exact photo in film and digital, I was not trying to match my editing so the photos would look the same, and I was not trying to say one was better than the other, I just went out and shot and hoped for the best! I was very pleased with how the film photos came out (being that this was only my second roll), but I realized that there were pro’s and con’s to both the film and digital photos in certain instances. These photos below are just a fun comparison to see the differences in my cameras and help me get an idea of how I can start incorporating film into my photo sessions.

All the photos on the LEFT are shot with a Canon AE-1 & Kodak Portra 400 film & developed/scanned by Little Film Lab

All the photos on the RIGHT are shot with a Canon 5d Mark 3 & edited with Mastin Labs Kodak Portra Presets (which are on sale right now!)
