Where?

Surprise! This was sort of a spontaneous surprise oregon coast couples film photo session. Dylan was working in Astoria, Oregon, a beautiful little art deco town on the northwest Oregon coast, and shayna wanted to surprise dylan by showing up and going on a photo adventure. We had so much fun capturing photos on the oregon coast. Playing in the dunes, checking out downtown Astoria, the arcade and catching the most beautiful sunset. 

Why 35mm film photography?

Film just hits different. Digital cameras have been trying to replicate film since the first digital camera – they are a technology convenience and flex. But nothing hits quite like analog film photography. I love being both a film and digital photographer because film pushes me to slow down more and really think about a shot. Couples photography on 35mm film is full of little miracles and happy accidents. Even though i know my way around a 35mm film camera, i am always blown away by the results – they’re always better than i could have imagined.

3 Reasons To Add 35mm Film Photography to Your Photo Session

Sure, digital photography is cool but why add film? Below are 3 reasons why you should add 35mm film photography to any photo session.

1. It adds a new perspective 

Adding film photography to your photo session adds a completely new perspective. Film slows everyone down, it makes us look at what we are seeing differently. When 35mm film is in your gallery, you can feel the difference. Check out this film gallery here to see what i mean 

2. It looks really cool 

Listen. Film photography just looks freaking cool okay?! The light leaks, the colors, the way film captures light. It is unmatched – this is why so many photographers try to emulate film these days! 

3. film photography is timeless

When you’re looking at the photos of this oregon coast couples photography session shot on 35mm film, what adjectives come to mind? For me, its timeless, nostalgic, classic, romance. These are words commonly used to describe film photography. For me, I want you to feel these things in your photos and film is a direct flight to exactly that.
