Film Photography for Your Wedding

March 19, 2026

Give your wedding the deep, textured feeling of film.

Film photography adds something to your memories that no other medium can. 

You have three choices of film photography with me: Medium Format, 35mm Photojournalist, and Toy Camera. 

Let’s take a closer look at each one. 

1. Medium Format

Medium format, with Portra 400 film, is ideal for slowing down, taking in the lushness of life, colors, textures, and skin tones.

It excels at portraits, but, as you can see here, it’s dreamy, even ghost-like on the dance floor.  DouglasFaveroPhoto.FilmPhotos.better_scan_r001-009 DouglasFaveroPhoto.FilmPhotos.better_scan_r001-004 DouglasFaveroPhoto.FilmPhotos.better_scan_r001-011 Mariana Eduardo Yashica 120 Film_r001-003 DouglasFaveroPhoto.Annette.Jesse.DF_01886 DouglasFaveroPhoto.Annette.Jesse.DF_01906 DouglasFaveroPhoto.Annette.Jesse.DF_01888 DouglasFaveroPhoto.Annette.Jesse.DF_01893

2. Photojournalistic 35mm

The photojournalist’s choice, vintage 35mm, black and white or color, is ideal for capturing real life as it unfolds, a daily newspaper’s take on your wedding day, with deep contrast between light and dark.

It shines during the real life, unplanned, unposed, unprepared moments of the day.  2048x.dfp.marianae.duardo.r001-002 2048x.dfp.marianae.duardo.r001-005 2048x.dfp.marianae.duardo.r001-004 2048x.dfp.marianae.duardo.r001-007 2048x.dfp.marianae.duardo.r001-011 oaxaca wedding photography quinta real film by douglas favero DouglasFaveroPhoto.FilmPhotos.DF_06231 2048x.dfp.marianae.duardo.r001-015 2048x.dfp.marianae.duardo.r001-023 2048x.DFP.Lucy.Austin.Fm3a.DouglasFavero.Lucy.Austin.FM3a.r001-011 2048x.DFP.Lucy.Austin.Fm3a.DouglasFavero.Lucy.Austin.FM3a.r001-018 2048x.DFP.Lucy.Austin.Fm3a.DouglasFavero.Lucy.Austin.FM3a.r001-002 2048x.DFP.Lucy.Austin.Fm3a.DouglasFavero.Lucy.Austin.FM3a.r001-021 2048x.DFP.Lucy.Austin.Fm3a.DouglasFavero.Lucy.Austin.FM3a.r001-004 2048x.DFP.Lucy.Austin.Fm3a.DouglasFavero.Lucy.Austin.FM3a.r001-017 2048x.DFP.Lucy.Austin.Fm3a.DouglasFavero.Lucy.Austin.FM3a.r001-026 2048x.DFP.Lucy.Austin.Fm3a.DouglasFavero.Lucy.Austin.FM3a.r001-014 2048x.DFP.Lucy.Austin.Fm3a.DouglasFavero.Lucy.Austin.FM3a.r001-010 2048x.DFP.Lucy.Austin.Fm3a.DouglasFavero.Lucy.Austin.FM3a.r001-006 2048x.DFP.Lucy.Austin.Fm3a.DouglasFavero.Lucy.Austin.FM3a.r001-015 2048x.DFP.Lucy.Austin.Fm3a.DouglasFavero.Lucy.Austin.FM3a.r001-016 2048x.DFP.Lucy.Austin.Fm3a.DouglasFavero.Lucy.Austin.FM3a.r001-009 2048x.DFP.Lucy.Austin.Fm3a.DouglasFavero.Lucy.Austin.FM3a.r001-003 2048x.DFP.Lucy.Austin.Fm3a.DouglasFavero.Lucy.Austin.FM3a.r001-020

3. Holga 35mm

The Holga is an all-plastic camera, often called a “toy camera.” Even the tiny lens is plastic. So, it gives a child-like playfulness and surreal feel to your wedding, with often unpredictable effects on the film, including halo, flare, and haze, as seen here. It is ideal for spontaneous moments, such as during the calenda and dance floor, but it also gives a whimsical care-free feel to those in-between moments, such as here during formals.  DFP.2048x.Paula.Toto_Holga_.r001-017 DFP.2048x.Paula.Toto_Holga_.r001-018 DFP.2048x.Paula.Toto_Holga_.r001-019 DFP.2048x.Paula.Toto_Holga_.r001-020 DFP.2048x.Paula.Toto_Holga_.r001-021 DFP.2048x.Paula.Toto_Holga_.r001-022 DFP.2048x.Paula.Toto_Holga_.r001-023 Ask Me which is Best for you
