Why your Nashville elopement should be photographed on black & white film.

Most Nashville wedding photographers solely use digital cameras and don’t offer a film option.

Film has such a timeless beauty to it, and black and white film is in a class of its own. No matter what camera settings or photoshopping is done to a digital image, you can never capture a moment in the unique way film does. It elevates the moment, as it takes refined expertise to take a great film photograph.

Here’s why you should consider working with a Nashville photographer who will incorporate black and white film while photographing your wedding…

It’s an art form that will never go out of style.

Unlike a lot of editing styles and presets that Nashville photographers often use, this isn’t a trend that you’ll look back on and regret. Film is pure, timeless and exceptional. 30 years from now you and your spouse will be looking at these photos enamored once again. These photographs will stand the test of time.

It’s unique and rare.

It takes a lot of skill to photograph using film. It the age of computers being able to do everything for you, with film you have to know every detail of what you’re doing. This makes it far more challenging, and therefore is not the preferred and not used by many Nashville wedding photographers. A film photographer is a high class of professional in the industry - you are guaranteed to receive beautiful images.

Each photograph is incredibly intentional because the photographer typically only has 24 frames.

This means that your photographer is truly paying attention and looking for those one-of-a-kind moments. When you’re limited to how many photos you can take before the roll is done, you make sure every photograph you take is worthwhile.

The lack of color makes things stand out, highlighting important details.

I love color, but black and white has a way of drawing your focus to one particular thing. Maybe it’s a smile, a detail shot, or a tear streaming down your grandfather’s face. Your attention is zoned in on that immortalized moment in time.

Film is expensive - it’s a beautiful luxury.

If you’re like me and would rather pay more to get something truly special rather than average, film is the luxury of your wedding day you will never regret.
