A Living Room Civil Ceremony, Shot Entirely on Film

We’ve always believed that film slows everything down and on a wedding day, that’s a gift!

The living room of the bride's family home dressed up just enough to feel special without losing the warmth of a space that's actually lived in. A small gathering of the people who matter most. Two people choosing each other in the most honest, unhurried way possible. The whole thing felt like it was designed for a roll of film and a quiet afternoon.

There's an intention that comes with shooting analogue that's difficult to replicate any other way. Every frame is intentional and every moment earns its place. This leaves you with a gallery that feels less like documentation and more like memory; warm, a little soft around the edges, and perfectly imperfect. There's an honesty to film that resonates in a way that's hard to articulate but you can immediately felt when you see it.

The ceremony itself was short and sweet but completely full. Everyone crowded into the living room, someone definitely cried, and before we knew it they were married! These are the kinds of weddings we feel truly honoured to photograph— small in scale, enormous in feeling.

If you're planning something intimate— a civil ceremony, an at-home elopement, or any kind of celebration that prioritizes the people over the production— we'd love to be part of it! And if you've been curious about adding film to your day, take a look at what we've been shooting.
