Krista was my second shooter for the day, (what a dream!), she also brought along a couple film cameras to play with. This was shot on her Widelux camera on Kodak Tri-x400 35mm film, isn’t it dreamy?

Liz and Dylan were faves from the start. Their sense of humor, all-together cuteness, absolute adoration of each other, not to mention their hilarious families and especially Dylan’s dad’s mustache, made their wedding day one of the BEST days. Ever. No seriously. Go ahead, see for yourself.

I started with Liz as she got ready in the bridal suite at Reid Castle, on the campus of Manhattanville College. This place was so cool! So many beautiful and interesting indoor spaces, with gorgeous light inside and out!

Lori + Jim — Mack House at Cape Cod Wedding in Film

 Gatsby inspired Cape Cod Wedding (Chatham, MA)

I am primarily a digital photographer, but I started out shooting all black & white film weddings – and I miss it sometimes!!  So, every once in a while I take my film cameras along to a wedding and have a little fun with film.  This time I even used some, gasp, COLOR film!  Haha, haven’t done that in YEARS!  Totally worth it though :)

Panoramic of the girls getting ready.  Shot on my Wideluxe with Kodak Tri-X 400.

Christine and Vu started their day off at the Renaissance Waterfront in Boston, where they were both surrounded by their family and MANY groomsmen and bridesmaids. It made for a super fun atmosphere. The girls were primped, the guys got pizza, typical right??

Elizabeth & Ryan’s Wedding – Black & White FILM

If you follow my blog, or have been to my website, or if you know me at all, you know that I love to shoot black & white film! My first job in photography was working in an all film studio and while I’ve made the transition to digital, I still think film is the best! It’s gotten wicked expensive, and it definitely has limitations, but it also has character and an archival quality that I love. So, I tend to shoot at least a little bit of film at almost every wedding these days. Just a few rolls splashed in throughout the day. Of course, if any brides out there wants me to shoot a wedding entirely in black & white film – I would love to do it again!! :)

Here are some of my favorite film images from Elizabeth & Ryan‘s wedding…
