A Year on Film: My Favorite Wedding Photos of 2026
Throughout the 2026 wedding season, film photography continued to hold a special place in my work (and my heart). From quiet moments during the morning preparations to emotional ceremonies and lively celebrations, I captured memories on film alongside my digital work. There's something about film that I keep coming back to. It gives memories a certain depth and emotion, and let's be honest, it looks pretty beautiful too.
This collection brings together some of my favorite 35mm wedding photographs of 2026. A selection of moments, details, and portraits from weddings across France, Scotland and New York, seen through my eyes and preserved on film.
The Beauty of 35mm Film Wedding Photography
I love combining digital and 35mm film photography throughout a wedding day. They complement each other beautifully, giving me different ways to document the same celebration.
Film encourages me to slow down, observe, and be more intentional with every frame. I pay closer attention to the light, the composition, and the moments unfolding around me. I love its colors, subtle grain, and the little imperfections that give each frame its own character. While I love capturing all the little details, I'm especially drawn to photographing people on film. The movement of a dress, an unexpected laugh, guests embracing, or a quiet moment between lovers. These are the little things I love noticing throughout a wedding day.
Sometimes the results are unexpected, and that's part of what makes shooting film so exciting.
For me, it's about creating photographs that feel alive, with a character and atmosphere of their own.
My Favorite 35mm Wedding Photographs of 2026
Looking back at an entire wedding season is always special. So many beautiful places, familiar faces, and memories come back to life. Choosing my favorites wasn't easy. Some photographs stand out for their composition or light, while others simply remind me of how a particular moment felt, or how beautiful my couples are.
Here's a selection of the images I keep coming back to.
Mostly captured on 35mm film, with a little medium format along the way (I love my new Fuji 645).
