In the heart of Orange, California,


Layla and Moises celebrated their love with a beautiful and intimate wedding at the Chapel of Orange. This historic venue, combined with the timeless charm of 35mm film photography, made their special day unforgettable. Capturing their moments in both digital and 35mm film allowed me to create a diverse collection of images that reflected their historic venue.


The Chapel of Orange is a one-of-a-kind hidden gem in Orange, California. Built in 1909, the historic chapel offers a perfect blend of classic elegance and modern amenities, making it an ideal location for intimate weddings. Previously owned by Chapman University, the chapel is now a privately owned wedding venue. The beautiful architecture, warm wooden reception room, and quaint garden provide a picturesque backdrop for wedding celebrations. The beautiful surroundings made every moment of Layla and Moises's wedding day feel magical and timeless.

35mm Film Photography


One of the highlights of capturing Layla and Moises's wedding was the use of 35mm film. This classic medium added a nostalgic and artistic touch to their wedding photos. Film photography has a unique ability to capture emotions and details in a way that feels timeless and authentic. The grain, color, and texture of 35mm film created beautiful, one-of-a-kind images that Layla and Moises will cherish forever.


Why Hire a Film Wedding Photographer: Choosing a film wedding photographer offers several benefits:

  1. Timeless Quality:
  • Film photography has a timeless quality that digital cannot replicate. The natural grain and rich tones of film create images that feel classic and nostalgic, perfect for capturing the beauty of your wedding day.
  1. Authentic Moments:
  • Film photography encourages a slower, more thoughtful approach to capturing moments. This results in more genuine, candid shots that truly reflect the emotions and atmosphere of your wedding.
  1. Unique Aesthetic:
  • The aesthetic of 35mm film is unmatched. The warm, natural colors and the ability to capture light in a unique way make film photos stand out. Each image is a piece of art that tells a story.
