When you think of a wedding, the first images that come to mind might be vibrant bouquets, crisp white gowns, and sun-dappled venues.

But tucked within the pages of the world’s most treasured wedding albums lies a singular, enduring art form: black and white photography. It is here, in shades of grey, that the emotional heart of your celebration beats the loudest—timeless, intimate, and utterly unforgettable.
Where It All Began: The Legacy of Black & White Film
My love affair with black and white photography began long before it became a stylistic choice—it was, in fact, all there was. My earliest days were spent as a journalistic family photographer, documenting life in its rawest form. I thrived on capturing candid moments, those fleeting expressions and interactions that revealed the essence of family, love, and connection. Every roll of film was a leap of faith: I’d hand over precious negatives to a lab, wait in anticipation, then sit with my clients as we poured over contact sheets, each frame a window into a genuine moment.
This analog process, with its deliberate pace and anticipation, cultivated my deep appreciation for photography as both an art and a ritual. Today, even as technology has transformed our industry, I remain fiercely passionate about film. At nearly every wedding, you’ll see me wielding not just two digital cameras, but also my trusted film camera—a tangible link to the heritage of wedding photography.
Black & White in the Modern Age: A Statement of Luxury and Taste
In 2024, film photography is back with a vengeance. Couples crave authenticity, artistry, and the indescribable romance that only film can provide. Black and white photographs aren’t just a nod to nostalgia; they speak of sophistication, nostalgia, and an elevated sense of style.
Why does black and white photography endure, even as technology offers more color and clarity than ever before?
Emotion and Storytelling: Without the distraction of color, your eyes gravitate to the subtle interplay of light and shadow, the depth of emotion in a lover’s glance, and the ephemeral joy of a laugh or a tear. Black and white elevates these moments, allowing the raw story of your wedding day to shine.
Timelessness: Trends come and go, but black and white photography is eternally chic. Imagine your wedding album fifty years from now; the classic grace of monochrome images will never look dated.
Artistry: Each black and white frame is an exercise in composition and contrast. It’s about more than removing color—it’s about enhancing mood and atmosphere, transforming an image into a piece of art.
Versatility: Whether your venue is a grand ballroom or a garden at dusk, black and white images transcend location and décor, uniting your gallery with a cohesive, editorial quality.

A Dual Gallery: The Best of Both Worlds
We believe in choice—and in the power of both color and black and white. That’s why every client receives a meticulously curated wedding gallery, with images delivered in both vibrant color and elegant black and white. Whether you request film or digital photography, black and white artistry will be an integral part of your story.
For film-lovers: If you share my passion for analog photography, I am delighted to include true black and white film images in your gallery. There is simply nothing like the grain, the depth, the tactile soul of film. You’ll spot me throughout your day, film camera slung around my neck, capturing moments with an artist’s eye and a craftsman’s touch.
For digital devotees: Even if you opt for a contemporary digital approach, I ensure your gallery includes custom-edited black and white images. My editing process is honed to replicate the feel of classic B&W film: rich tonal range, authentic grain, and nuanced contrast. While nothing can quite compare to film, you’ll be astonished at the emotional resonance a well-converted black and white image can achieve.
The Experience: From Candid Beginnings to Curated Luxury
Every couple’s story is unique, and so is my approach to capturing it. I draw on my journalistic roots to document your celebration candidly, seeking out spontaneous, genuine moments over posed perfection. The black and white photographs in your gallery will reflect this ethos—intimate, honest, and utterly timeless.
My process is intentionally luxurious and personal:
Discovery: We discuss your vision, your style, and your connection to photography. Are you drawn to the romance of film? Do you dream of a gallery that blends modern color with classic monochrome?
The Day: I blend seamlessly into your celebration, balancing the technical prowess of digital with the artistry of film. My goal: to preserve every detail, every emotion.
