Nogales & Tubac, Arizona in Film | Shooting Film

Over two months and ten weddings have elapsed since I took these photos in Arizona, but I am finally getting around to sharing these little film gems. I will admit, it’s taken a while for me to catch up to myself. Between the travel and the back to back weddings and the countless hours spent…

Ragini & Brandon | Berkeley City Club Wedding Photography

Before we even begin, please take a couple minutes to watch the highlight film created by our sister company, Seaglass Cinema. It captures the day beautifully! Ragini and Brandon | 07.02.11 from Seaglass Cinema on Vimeo. The easiest, most obvious thing to say about Ragini and Brandon is that they are both incredibly brilliant. You could even say…

Kristen & Ryan | Sunol Backyard Wedding Photography

It was extreme croquet and homemade soap that joined them together. But mostly the soap. He had you at the transesterification reaction! Long story short, they were inside having tea after a game of extreme croquet (crazy wicket placement!) when the fact that Ryan’s family makes their own soap came up in conversation. This otherwise…

Matching Digital to Film | Richard Photo Lab | Shooting Film, Part 5 of 5

If you’ve been following my blog and the Shooting Film series, you may know that I’ve been documenting all sorts of unscientific experiments in my venture into film.

Spring Colors of Atlanta | Kodak Portra 400 | Shooting Film

The warm air wrapped around me as I walked down the street in Virginia Highlands and headed out in the beautiful Atlanta neighborhood to take some photographs– on film. Here are a few of my images on Kodak Portra 400, with a couple more black and white frames from the previous roll as well. Love…

Atlanta in B&W Film | Kodak 400CN | Shooting Film

Shooting black and white film has a whole different feeling than color or even digital black and white. The image itself comes out wrapped in a thin blanket of nostalgia. And being committed to black and white for 36 frames at a time forces you to see the world in a different way, hyper aware…
