I’m here to give you a quick 101 on why film photography is so great. It’s not just me who thinks that the quality of film photos is far superior to digital, but also photographers and wedding professionals all over the world.
Film photos have a special look
Film photography has a unique look that you won’t get from digital images. Film photographers use film to capture light, and the different types of film react differently to different kinds of light. You’ll notice this immediately when looking at your photos, whether you’re looking at them on your computer or printed in a book.
Film photographers are also more passionate about their art than most people working with digital cameras today. This is because film photography is a dying art—there aren’t too many professionals who do it anymore, so these professionals are often more invested in preserving their craft and passing it along to future generations. They’re going out of their way to teach others how they do things and share knowledge with fellow enthusiasts all over the world through online forums, blogs, clubs and workshops (like ours). This means that if you choose to work with one of these artists during your wedding day(s), he or she will bring something extra special and meaningful into your life—an experience that lasts past simply being able to pull out an album full of photos every once in awhile!
Finally—and perhaps most importantly—film photography can be expensive upfront compared with digital photography prices due partly because there’s less demand for prints nowadays; however once again this investment will pay off in spades over time thanks mostly because everyone knows how important memories are worth saving forever!
Film photos hold their value and will last longer than digital
Film photos are the perfect choice for capturing your wedding day. They have a timeless quality that digital photos cannot match, and will hold their value over time. In contrast to digital files, which can be copied at any time and distributed freely online or in print ads, film photos are one-of-a-kind and are therefore more collectible to your guests.
Additionally, while digital files can become unreadable due to computer glitches or hard drive crashes (and even water damage), film negatives will last forever—even when they’re stored in less than ideal conditions!
Film photos are unique
- Film photos are unique.
When you scan a digital photo, the image is inverted and then stored on a computer. With film, however, each negative has an original look to it that cannot be replicated or enhanced in any way. The quality of these images depends on the type of film used and how long you leave it exposed before developing it. This can make each image completely different from one another with its own unique qualities—much like every person has their own personal look or feel to them!
- Digital photos are easy to replicate. If someone wants a copy of your wedding photos but doesn’t want to spend thousands of dollars on prints (which is understandable), they’ll often look toward having their own digital version made instead. And while this may seem fine at first glance because everyone knows what they’re getting into when they request an album full of digitally-created images for their walls at home…I’ve found that there’s just something about seeing those same old faces over again every day in my house that gets old after awhile (and no matter how nice things might’ve been between us during those years).
A photographer who shoots in film is dedicated to the craft
Photography is not a hobby for these professionals, it’s what they do for work. They are passionate about it and have spent years honing their skills and developing their eye for detail. They know how to make your wedding day look the way you want it to look—and that’s why hiring them is so important!
Your wedding day is precious, it deserves beautiful image quality
Whether you’re planning a small, intimate gathering or an elaborate, multi-day affair, your wedding day is a special event that deserves to be documented in a way that communicates its importance and significance. Film photography provides the best possible way to do just that.
Film photography allows you to capture images with exquisite detail and vibrancy through its unique process of exposing light sensitive materials onto film negatives. This practice produces images of outstanding quality; the kind of imagery that will stand the test of time and become cherished keepsakes for years to come.
Your wedding photos deserve to be printed, not just uploaded to Facebook.
Wedding photos are a once in a lifetime event, so it’s important to make them as memorable as possible. Don’t just upload your wedding photos to Facebook or Instagram and call it a day. Instead, consider printing them on photo paper or canvas so that you can display them for years to come! You’ll be glad you did when your children ask why there are pictures of the two of you at their age hanging on their walls.
The look, the feel, and the history of film photography make it a must for your wedding day!
Film photography boasts a look, feel and history that makes it a must for your wedding day. The grainy texture of film photos adds an edginess to the picture that digital cameras just can’t replicate. And while digital images are easy to save, store and share, there is something special about having an actual photo in hand that takes on a life of its own as time passes by. You can display it on your fridge or put it in an album for years to come!
The beauty of film photography doesn’t end there: the value of film prints also holds up over time. In contrast with traditional digital images which will likely be lost due to obsolescence or failure of technology in just 5-10 years from now (you know who you are), analogue photographs will keep their original quality and value for decades – even centuries – to come!
We know that it can be hard to choose between the many options available for your wedding photography. But, if you’re looking for an aesthetic that will last a lifetime and add value to your photos by making them more unique, then film photography is the best choice for you. We hope this post has given you some insight into why film is such a great option for couples who want their wedding day captured perfectly!
