Why 35mm Film Is the Perfect Addition to Your Wedding Package

When planning your wedding photography, it’s easy to get lost in the world of digital perfection—vivid colors, crystal-clear images, and the ability to capture countless moments. But what if you could blend the modern with the timeless? That’s where 35mm film photography steps in, offering a nostalgic touch to your wedding day that digital photography simply can’t replicate.

What Are 35mm Film Photos?

35mm film photography is the classic analog process many of us grew up admiring in old family photo albums. Each image is captured on a physical strip of film, with no digital intervention. The process is slower, intentional, and rooted in artistry.

Unlike digital photography, where adjustments can be made instantly, every shot on 35mm film is deliberate. The result? Photographs that feel raw, emotional, and utterly authentic. The grainy textures, soft tones, and light flares inherent in film photos create a dreamy, vintage aesthetic that transports you to another era.

The Impact of Adding 35mm Film to Your Wedding

1. Unique Aesthetic
The imperfections of film photography—light leaks, slight color shifts, and natural grain—add character to your wedding gallery. These photos stand out, offering a tangible contrast to the polished perfection of digital images.

2. Nostalgia and Timelessness
Film photos have an unmatched ability to evoke emotions. They feel like memories the moment you see them, reminding you of simpler times. Decades from now, you’ll look at your wedding album and feel like you’re flipping through a family heirloom.

3. Curated Moments
Since every shot counts on 35mm film, your photographer will focus on capturing the most meaningful, intimate moments. The result is a curated collection of heartfelt images that tell your love story in a way digital photos often cannot.

4. A Connection to the Past
Film photography connects your wedding day to traditions of the past. It’s a subtle way to honor your parents’ or grandparents’ wedding photos while creating something uniquely yours.

Showcasing the Magic: Real Couples, Real Moments

To give you a glimpse of the timeless beauty of 35mm film, we’re showcasing the wedding photos of three amazing couples:

Why Choose Both Digital and Film Photography?

Combining digital and 35mm film photography gives you the best of both worlds. You’ll have the crisp, high-definition quality of digital images for social sharing and large prints, paired with the warm, nostalgic charm of film photos for keepsakes and personal treasures. Together, they create a beautifully balanced wedding gallery.

At Move Mountains Co., we believe in capturing your love story in ways that feel personal and unforgettable. That’s why we’re thrilled to offer 35mm film photography as an add-on to your wedding package.

Why Capturing Bride & Groom Prep is Key to Your Wedding Story

Your wedding day is a story that unfolds moment by moment, and every detail plays a vital role in that narrative. One of the most important parts of this story is the preparation time before the ceremony—those quiet, intimate, and sometimes playful moments when the excitement is building, emotions are high, and anticipation is at its peak. At Move Mountains Co., we believe capturing the bride and groom prep is essential to telling the full story of your wedding day. Here’s why it’s such a crucial part of your wedding photography and videography experience.

1. Setting the Tone for the Day

The moments leading up to the ceremony are filled with raw, genuine emotions. From the bride’s laughter as she gets her hair and makeup done with her closest friends, to the groom’s nervous excitement as he adjusts his tie or reads a heartfelt letter from his bride—these are moments that set the tone for the entire day. Capturing these scenes allows us to tell a complete story, highlighting the journey from the calm before the storm to the emotional vows and the celebration that follows.

2. Warming Up to the Camera

Starting the day with prep photos and videos helps everyone get comfortable in front of the camera. This is especially important for those who may feel a bit nervous or camera-shy. By beginning with these more relaxed, candid moments, we help the bride, groom, and their wedding party ease into the day and become more natural in front of the lens. It’s also a great way for everyone to get to know our team and understand our style. Building this rapport early on leads to more genuine, authentic shots later in the day, as everyone feels more at ease with us being around.

3. Documenting the Pre-Ceremony Emotions

There’s nothing quite like the emotions that flow during the preparation stage. The bride and groom are often surrounded by their closest friends and family, sharing laughter, tears, and everything in between. These candid moments of joy, excitement, and nervous anticipation are priceless. By documenting these emotions, we capture the true essence of your relationships—the heartfelt hugs, the inside jokes, and even the quiet, reflective moments.

4. Capturing the Details That Matter

The Art of Mismatched Bridesmaid Dresses & How to Achieve the Look

At Move Mountains Co., we’ve seen countless trends come and go, but one that has truly captivated brides in recent years is the artful approach to mismatched bridesmaid dresses. While some brides still want their bridesmaids to wear identical gowns, more and more couples are opting for a mix of patterns, textures, and styles, all unified by a cohesive color palette. This trend not only allows for individuality but also adds visual interest and depth to your wedding photos.

Why This Trend Works

The beauty of mismatched bridesmaid dresses lies in their versatility. By selecting dresses in the same color family but varying the patterns and textures, you create a look that is both cohesive and dynamic. This trend allows your bridesmaids to choose a dress that flatters their unique body type and style, making them feel more comfortable and confident on your big day.

If you want your maid of honor to stand out, consider a dress in a slightly different shade or a unique pattern within the same color palette. Another option is to add distinctive accessories like a statement necklace, a floral crown, or a more intricate bouquet. These subtle differences will highlight her special role while still maintaining the overall harmony of your bridal party’s look.

Brian and Libby’s wedding perfectly captured this trend. Libby's bridesmaids wore light blue dresses that beautifully complemented the wedding colors. Each dress had a unique cut, with some featuring solid colors and others adorned with sweet white floral patterns, all perfectly enhancing the springtime celebration:

Additionally, the visual appeal of mixed dresses creates a richer and more layered aesthetic, which translates beautifully in photos. When done right, this approach can elevate the entire bridal party's look, creating a sophisticated yet relaxed vibe. At Luke and Cassie's wedding, the bridesmaids dazzled in a variety of green shades, with some donning floral patterns and others in solid colors. Each dress was uniquely cut, cocktail-length, and perfectly suited to match the personality and style of each bridesmaid:

How to Achieve the Mismatched Look

1. Choose a Color Palette: Start by selecting a color palette that complements your wedding theme. Whether you’re drawn to soft pastels, earthy tones, or bold jewel hues, the key is to stick to shades within the same family.

2. Mix Patterns and Textures: Once your palette is set, you can introduce variety through different fabrics and patterns. Think lace, chiffon, velvet, or even subtle prints like florals or polka dots. The variation in textures will add depth and keep the look from feeling flat.

3. Keep Some Elements Consistent: To maintain a sense of unity, consider keeping certain elements consistent across all dresses. This could be the dress length, the type of fabric, or even just the color intensity. For example, you might choose to have all your bridesmaids in floor-length gowns or all in muted tones of the same color.

4. Involve Your Bridesmaids: Allow your bridesmaids to have a say in their dresses. Provide them with the color palette and style guidelines, but let them choose the dress that suits them best. This not only ensures they’ll feel comfortable but also adds a personal touch to the bridal party’s look.

5. Accessorize Thoughtfully: Complete the look with accessories that tie everything together. Consider matching bouquets, similar hairstyles, or coordinating jewelry to add another layer of cohesion to the ensemble.
