Film has a character that's impossible to fully recreate digitally. Its natural grain, rich tones, and organic texture create images that feel timeless, nostalgic, and deeply personal.

Because every frame is intentional, film encourages a slower, more thoughtful approach to storytelling. The result is a gallery filled with photographs that don't just document how your day looked, they help you remember how it felt.

That's why we love shooting film, and why so many of our clients choose to include it in their story.

We work with Thackers Film Lab, a trusted local lab, to professionally develop every roll of film. We do our best to drop off your film on the next business day after your session or event whenever possible.

The lab's turnaround time is typically 5–10 business days for development and high-resolution scans. Once we receive your scans, we'll carefully edit and incorporate them into your final gallery.

Because film is a handcrafted process, delivery may take a little longer than digital-only sessions, but we believe the timeless results are well worth the wait. The delayed gratification of film is what makes it so fun!!!
