Film Photography: My First Film Roll

The Film Files

Back in December I blogged about a new project that I was getting started on, film photography. I know I’ve kept you all waiting. It just took me a while to get my first film roll finished and ready to send to the lab. I made the mistake of hoarding my first roll instead of […]

Stacie & Michael are the cutest couple from Ohio who’ve decided to get married in our beautiful Traverse City.

If you’ve never been to the Temple Theater in Saginaw, you need to go right away! It’s absolutely stunning.

Wedding Photography

This elegant, elopement styled shoot at The Mohicans was an absolute dream to shoot. If you’re like me, I had never heard of The Mohicans until I went to this shoot. Now that I’ve been there, I’m just a little bit obsessed. Getting out to this venue alone makes you feel like you’re on an […]

The Film Files: An Adventure Into Film Photography

Kalamazoo Film Photographer

The Film Files

Hey, guys! So for a while now I’ve been thinking about picking up film photography as a hobby. I think it started with a film look that I’ve been drawn to in post-processing lately, and now it’s spiraled into an itch to pick up actual film. Like actual old film rolls. So why not give […]
