Shooting a wedding on film has been an idea I’ve always wanted to try for some time now. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to do so at a recent wedding with a friend and fellow photographer, Gemma Clarke. She asked me if I wanted to second shoot with her on a 12 hour wedding and of course I jumped at the opportunity!
Here’s a huge thanks to you Gemma!
Very briefly, the camera used was a Hasselblad XPan II, panoramic and standard 35mm film camera loaded with Kodak E100VS slide film. What’s so special about this camera is that it takes a shot which is almost twice the length of a standard camera. I was initially writing a post to show the pictures here but then soon after I realized I had gone totally off topic. I started writing more about why I still shoot in film and why I love it so much. I have separated that post to another one so I’ll post that soon after I put this one up so stay tuned!
Let’s get on with the pictures first shall we?

I absolutely love the warm tones here!
I’ve always been a fan of panoramics and here are some examples why!
Erm, what wide angle lens?
This will be my all time favourite panoramic portrait shot on film. Notice how panoramic, portrait and film don’t usually go together at all!
My 2nd favourite..
and 3rd favourite
Hope you guys enjoyed this! Somehow I’m feeling extra sentimental just looking at these photos and reminiscing Vanessa and Marcus’ wedding day. Thanks guys for having me there, and also Gemma for asking me to come along and shoot with her
Damn, I really love my job!
