A Black Tie London Wedding, Taken on 35mm film.

May 15

Have you ever wondered what it looks like to add a 35mm film photography package to your wedding day?

Take a look at this gorgeous black tie summer London wedding, heading to famous Landmarks such as Tower Bridge, and getting married at the iconic Marylebone Town Hall.

I always tell my couples that incorporating 35mm film is one of the best ways to bring an extra layer of magic to your final wedding gallery. There’s something so timeless and emotive about film photography. The soft grain, the imperfect light leaks, the rich tones, and the beautifully unpolished feel that simply can’t be replicated digitally. It adds depth, nostalgia, and a sense of storytelling that makes your wedding memories feel even more personal.

Digital photography gives you that polished, crisp finish that we all know and love. It captures moments cleanly and consistently, making sure every important part of your day is documented beautifully. But film brings something entirely different alongside it, and a true element of surprise. You don’t instantly know how each image will turn out, and that unknown quality is part of what makes it feel so special. Every frame feels intentional, authentic, and full of character.

One of my favourite things about shooting film on a wedding day is how naturally it captures the atmosphere. Film has a way of preserving these memories with a softness and honesty that feels incredibly nostalgic.

If you’re unsure about whether to add film photography to your wedding package, or how many rolls of film you might want throughout the day, this blog post should give you a helpful idea of what that can look like in practice. Below, you’ll be able to see an example of what it looks like if you add a couple of rolls of 35mm film to your wedding day.
