why choose Film wedding photography?

There’s just something about film — the texture, the tone, the timelessness.

Hi, I’m Bri — a Northern California wedding photographer with a big heart for real connection, golden light, and the kind of images that feel like memories. And I’m wildly in love with film photography.

Why? There’s just something about it that digital can’t quite replicate — the soft texture, the timeless colors, the way it captures emotion with a quiet kind of honesty. Film slows everything down in the best possible way. You take a breath. You feel the moment. And the result is a gallery that feels more intentional, more soulful, and more like you.

When I bring my film camera to a wedding, I’m not snapping hundreds of images hoping for a few good ones. I’m watching closely — for the way your partner looks at you during vows, the glint of light through your veil, the slow dance your grandma shares with your dad. I’m clicking the shutter because I know this one matters.

I offer film wedding photography as an optional add-on for couples who want a gallery that blends the crispness of digital with the warmth and artistry of fine art film. Whether you’re getting married in the redwoods, a backyard in Redding, or a vineyard on the coast, film brings a dreamy, nostalgic layer to your wedding story that’s completely unique. And if you’re not planning a wedding? We can bring some rolls of film to your family or couples session too.

It’s not just pretty — it’s powerful. And if you want photos that feel like the day itself, film might be exactly what you’re looking for.

why Film is worth it

   True Colors   

Skin tones, natural light, and landscapes all look truer and more organic on film.

Unreplicacted Moments

No burst mode here — every image is thoughtful and intentional, which makes each one feel more meaningful.

Timeless Texture

Every frame has a softness and grain that digital just can’t replicate — it feels like memory, not pixels.

how Film  fits into your day

Film doesn’t replace your digital gallery — it enriches it.

I shoot film alongside digital — you’ll get a blend in your gallery

You’ll receive scans that seamlessly match the overall aesthetic of your photos

You can add full or light coverage depending on your budget and interest

You don’t need to change anything about your day!

“I saw a video that said, ‘your wedding photos will never be timeless because styles change,’ and it stuck with me. As cliché as it sounds, I wanted our wedding to feel like a moment suspended in time. Film has a way of capturing that — it feels alive in a way digital never quite does. When I look at these photos, I’m not just seeing the day, I’m back in it. For that, I’ll be beside myself forever.”
