Hi, I'm ashley.

In recent years, I’ve rediscovered my love for film photography—not just as a creative outlet, but as a way to bring nostalgia and depth to wedding galleries.

Photography has been in my life from the start. My grandparents developed their own film in a darkroom, crafting each image by hand. Inspired by them, I began collecting film cameras and experimenting with different film stocks and labs, refining my approach along the way.

Now, I incorporate 35mm film, medium format, and Polaroids into my wedding collections, blending the timeless charm of film with digital photography. The grain, soft tones, and unpredictability create an organic, documentary feel that no digital edit can replicate.

Beyond client requests, adding film is personal—it connects me to my family’s craft, passed down through generations. If you love the timeless look of film and want to bring this nostalgic touch to your wedding, I’d love to make it part of your day. Fill out this form to reach out and discuss how we can make that happen and check out some of my favorite film photos (from weddings, engagements, regular sessions and personal events) below!
