Film Photography for Weddings? – a Renaissance of sorts…

I still have plenty of film in the fridge from the early days in my business when I shot wedding photography on film! I did love my beautiful Mamiya RB 67, and the several wonderful lenses I have for it, as well as liking the anticipation of waiting for a roll of film to be developed… and let’s not even begin about my musings from college in the black & white darkroom… it was just an indescribable feeling to see the image appear magically on the paper when you slipped it into the developer… ahhhh. Of course, I love photographing weddings digitally now, and all the advances made, and wouldn’t switch back (it’s embarassing to glance at the back of a film camera expecting to see an image screen there…) but, since I found this beauty, my vintage Holga camera, while I was cleaning out my gear closet, I am going to start bringing it along to some weddings, and giving it a little chance to get a few clicks in…

I’ll also be doing a special personal project with it, and I’ll be sure to share it here when it’s finished! Holga, dear friend, welcome back! (black gaffer tape and all!!)
