Saddlerock Ranch Wedding // Hannah + Tony

“She moves like sea breeze
swirling around me
the fragrance she leaves
hangs in the air
Soft like a whisper,
she’s calling me to her”


When my sweet friend Hannah got married a few weeks ago I shot {alongside her main photographer, Ken} in all film.
Hannah loves the look of medium format and really wanted some film photos of her celebration.
I have been dying to try shooting solely film at a wedding and was happy to oblige.
It was awesome as my first time because I knew Ken was getting all the have to have moments while I was learning the knack of changing rolls of film during unimportant moments.
I learned a lot and I will definitely be buying more backs and inserts before my next wedding. :)
It was crazy not lugging around my usual equipment or having lenses to choose from, but the freedom it gave me was really cool, and it helped me see differently.
The scans are unbelievable and I can’t wait to shoot my second wedding in all film.
Who’s game?
