Last week we got to take some updated family pictures for Promise and Brian and their adorable dog Parker! We also had fun testing out the beta for new film LR presets from Totally Radcalled Replichrome, launching soon! Stay tuned for a full review of the presets...in the meantime, soak up all this cuteness! Edited using Replichrome Fuji Pro C :: Noritsu
Sarah + Nate // Michigan Engagement
Whitehall, Mi
We had an incredible time with Sarah + Nate in Whitehall Michigan for their engagement session! Growing up, Sarah spent every summer with her family in their adorable cottage overlooking Lake Michigan. There was nowhere she'd rather document this new chapter in her life than Whitehall, her happy place. We were so honored that they flew us out to capture this exciting time and to spend a few days relaxing with them! This is such a special session for us to share! So happy that you found each other Sarah + Nate...and so jealous that you guys will be making more memories here in the years to come! It truly is a hidden gem!!
Our 2 year Film Anniversary
It's crazy that it's already been two years since we first dabbled in shooting film. I think it's made us better photographers in a lot of ways...and it has also taught us to trust ourselves and our instincts with light. We have really learned so much. We aren't the snobby type when it comes to film. I think film and digital are both great and important for different purposes. Film has such beautiful coloring and is so soft, while still maintaining a lot of detail. Digital is fast to use and is great for capturing movement and candids.
Sometimes we meet with clients who don't know what film photography is. Troy always explains film as being similar to records. Some people really love the richness and authenticity in the sound of spinning an old record. For other people, music is music and they prefer listening to their MP3 player.
As photographers, we can really see and appreciate the quality and challenge of shooting film. It's fun and exciting for us to shoot a few roles & drop them off at the lab to get developed. It's always such a magical feeling when it's time to get our scans back. Kind of brings us back to when we were kids and used to get "doubles" developed for friends.
The more we shoot it, the more we love film. Here's a throwback shot from our first roll of film two summers ago. A little french toast breakfast at Fremont Diner in Sonoma :) To see more of our film posts, click HERE.
