Paris Wedding & Travel Photography on 35mm Film
Paris is always a good idea — but Paris on 35mm film? Absolute magic.
This blog post is a collection from my recent trip to Paris, photographed entirely on 35mm film. Every image you see here is untouched by digital cameras — just raw, nostalgic, fine art film capturing the beauty of the city and the fleeting moments in between.
Why Paris is the Perfect Place for Film Photography
Paris is a city that begs to be photographed. From golden sunsets over the Seine to quiet cobblestone alleys in Montmartre, every corner feels like it belongs in a love story. Shooting strictly on film slowed me down, made me intentional, and allowed me to see Paris not just as a backdrop — but as a living, breathing part of the story.
With 35mm film, there are no instant previews. You trust your eye, your intuition, and the light. And when the film scans come back, it’s like opening a time capsule. The warm tones, the grain, and the imperfect beauty bring every frame to life in a way that feels timeless.
The Magic of 35mm Film for Weddings & Travel
As a destination wedding photographer in Europe, I’ve learned that film creates something digital never quite can: depth, nostalgia, and emotion that feels like a painting. For couples planning a wedding or elopement in Paris, Tuscany, or the French countryside, film adds a layer of artistry that transforms a gallery into a true heirloom.
Whether it’s documenting the quiet in-between moments with your partner in a café, or your wedding celebration at a historic château, 35mm film turns fleeting memories into tangible pieces of art.
Destination Weddings in Paris & Beyond
This Paris trip reaffirmed my love for destination weddings and intimate celebrations abroad. Imagine hosting your closest family and friends in a French château, dining al fresco under twinkle lights, or saying your vows with the Eiffel Tower as your backdrop.
If you’re dreaming of a European destination wedding or an intimate elopement in Paris, I’d love to bring both digital and film photography to your story — combining candid, vintage-inspired frames with fine art imagery that will last forever.
