I photograph destination weddings on
full-frame digital, medium format digital, 35mm film and
6×7 medium format film. Film works beautifully for
warm southern light, old villas, chateaux, coastal locations and
evening dinners. Digital handles the moments that need speed, low
light or longer reach. The two are edited together as one story,
not as two side-by-side portfolios.
For most destination weddings, the natural balance is medium
format digital for the ceremony and portraits, full-frame digital for
the reportage and party, and 35mm or 6×7 film for the
moments that benefit from texture — the dress, the
ceremony, the golden-hour portraits, the dinner toasts.
You do not have to choose in advance. We talk through the
timeline, the venues and the kind of story you want, and the
format choices fall out of that conversation.
