When you combine wedding photography on film with traditional digital photos, you get a beautiful mix of artistic nostalgia and timeless preservation of the most special day of your life. Austin and Lizzie did just that! They added 35mm film to their wedding photography package for their summer wedding at La Bella in Granbury, TX. It was the most perfect day, and the added element of film made for the dreamiest look in their photos! I’m so glad I was able to capture every heartfelt and joyful moment for them, so they can relive their wedding day over and over again, exactly how it unfolded.

A Joy-Filled Wedding Day at La Bella Luna Surrounded by Loved Ones

Austin and Lizzie’s wedding day at La Bella Luna was one I’ll never forget. From dance parties while getting ready to intimate, personal vows and a reception that never slowed down, the day was full in the best way. There was truly never a dull moment! They were so relaxed, so joyful, and genuinely present, clearly soaking in every second with the people they love most. Days like this are exactly why I do what I do. The love that surrounded them made candid moments unfold so naturally, and the European elegance of La Bella Luna only elevated it all. Every detail, every emotion, every in-between moment came together to create a celebration that felt as meaningful as it was beautiful.

Documenting Unposed Moments With Wedding Photography on 35mm Film

From the soft, grainy textures to the warm and muted hues, 35mm film captures your day in a way that feels timeless, romantic, and so intentional. Film has this unique way of taking the little details you might not even notice in the moment and turning them into memories you’ll want to revisit again and again. With my documentary-style approach, it lets me focus on all the in-between moments and the real, unscripted connections that make your day uniquely yours.

Your wedding day should feel like your day, not a staged photoshoot. It’s a celebration, a chance to be fully present, and a day you’ll want to remember exactly as it happened. I’d much rather capture real emotions (even the tiny imperfections!) than force a moment that doesn’t feel true. That’s why I love combining film and digital photography: the best of both worlds to preserve every laugh and joyful moment in a way that feels timeless and honest.

If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who cares about the little details, the big feelings, and capturing you as a couple, I’d be so honored to be part of your day!
