Nestled in the heart of Wiltshire, Chalk Barn was the canvas for a series of timeless and enchanting couple portraits during our recent styled shoot. While the entire setup was magical, our focus today is on the romantic, fun, and beautifully minimalistic 35mm portraits of Layla and Chris, which showcase our passion for film photography.
The impact of 35mm film in wedding photography
Shooting with 35mm film isn’t just a stylistic choice—it’s a statement. In the world of wedding photography, where authenticity clashes with perfection, film brings an undeniable grit and texture that digital images often miss. Layla and Chris’s portraits strip away the usual gloss, offering a raw, unfiltered look at their connection. This isn’t about capturing flawless scenes; it’s about preserving real, palpable moments in their most honest form, with all the grain and character that only film can deliver.
Golden hour and 35mm portraits
The allure of golden hour isn’t just about soft lighting – it’s about how it can transform ordinary moments into a visceral experience. Paired with 35mm film, the results are even more profound. During our shoot, the low, golden light mingled with the rustic landscapes around Chalk Barn, capturing Layla and Chris in a series of of 35mm portraits that are as unpolished as they are captivating, accentuating the raw and unposed emotions of the moment.
