There’s something timeless about love — and Kristen & Chase’s wedding reminded us just how beautifully that feeling can be captured on film. On a day filled with joy, laughter, and a kind of magic that felt like it belonged to another era, their story unfolded in the soft tones and textures of vintage film photography.

Shot entirely on 35mm and medium format film, their wedding was documented with a deliberate nod to nostalgia. This wasn’t about filters or digital edits. This was about preserving real, raw moments in a format that feels honest and enduring — much like Kristen and Chase’s connection.

From the very beginning of the day, the atmosphere was something special. Kristen got ready in a sun-filled room with large windows, vintage details, and the kind of quiet calm that made every frame feel like a scene from an old movie. Her dress, elegant and understated, moved softly with each step — and the soft grain of film captured it all with an authenticity that digital simply can’t replicate. Her bouquet? Wildly arranged, a touch untamed, and perfectly in tune with the aesthetic of the day.

Chase, meanwhile, spent the morning with his closest friends. Candid moments of him adjusting his cufflinks, laughing with his groomsmen, and taking a quiet breath before the ceremony came out beautifully on film — little pauses in time that might’ve otherwise slipped by unnoticed.

Their first look took place under the canopy of old trees just outside the venue. Kristen walked up slowly, her shoes crunching softly over the gravel path, and Chase turned to see her with a smile that only grew wider the longer he looked at her. That moment — quiet, emotional, and completely unposed — was captured in a series of film stills that now feel like family heirlooms.

The ceremony was held outdoors, with warm sunlight bouncing off the soft, natural textures of wood and greenery. Everything felt organic — from the vows they wrote themselves to the way they held hands, never letting go. With every shot taken on film, the color palette leaned into warm earth tones and subtle shadows, giving their entire gallery a cinematic, almost ethereal quality.

After the ceremony, the portraits were taken during golden hour — that perfect slice of light just before sunset. We wandered with Kristen and Chase through open fields, down gravel roads, and along ivy-covered brick walls. Every image felt unhurried, personal, and full of connection. Their comfort with each other showed in every frame.

The reception was full of life and laughter, with twinkling string lights, vintage décor, and heartfelt toasts that gave us some of the most emotionally rich shots of the day. From film captures of their first dance to candid images of their parents holding back tears, every roll we developed told a fuller story — one not just of a wedding, but of legacy, family, and deep connection.

What makes film photography so special is its permanence — every frame is a choice. There’s no rapid-fire shutter, no instant review. It demands intention. And that’s exactly what Kristen and Chase wanted: an intentional, meaningful record of a day they never wanted to forget.

Their vintage wedding photo gallery is more than a collection of beautiful images. It’s a time capsule of love, captured on film that will only become more cherished as the years go by.

Kristen & Chase, thank you for inviting us to document your day with such care and creativity. Your trust and your vision made this one unforgettable.
