Analogue wedding Photographer using 35mm Film
There’s something about film that just hits different. It’s warm, it’s textured, and it’s got that natural glow that makes every image more unique. If you’re looking for something a little more different than cookie-cutter wedding photos, film is where it’s at.
Analogue wedding photographer
Hi, my name is Dale and I have been a professional wedding photographer in and around Oxfordshire for over 10 years. With around 800 weddings captured using digital cameras, about a year ago I decided to photograph weddings using 35mm and medium format film cameras.
My wedding photography style is primarily documentary, often described as candid or natural. I prefer to capture the real, unscripted moments as they unfold, providing an authentic representation of your wedding day.
Located in Oxfordshire I am perfectly situated to cover any Wedding in the South of England. But don’t let the stop you booking me if you are planning a wedding elsewhere. If you think I am the right photographer for your day, I would be more than happy to travel further afield and bed down in a Purple Palace for the night if necessary!
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story photographing your wedding on film can make all the difference.
Whether you’re throwing a huge party, or hosting a backyard bash, I’ve got you covered. As with my digital wedding photography package my approach is relaxed and low-key—I’m there to capture the vibe, not turn your day into a photoshoot.
Here’s how it works:
Pre-Wedding Hangout: We’ll chat about your day, your vibe, and the moments that matter most to you. This isn’t about creating a shot list—it’s about making sure I know what you care about.
On the Day: I’ll be there, blending in and catching all the good stuff—from the big moments to the ones you didn’t even notice happening.
The Goods: After the wedding, I hand-develop the black and white film - colour film will be sent to an external lab - and carefully curate a gallery that tells the full story of your day. You’ll get all your images as prints on satin paper and high-quality digital scans so you can share, print, and relive the magic whenever you want.
Authentic Look: Film doesn’t overdo it. Using Ilford and Kodak films the colours are soft, the tones are natural, and every shot feels organic—like you’re flipping through an old-school photo album, but much cooler.
Timeless Appeal: These photos are designed to age beautifully. No over-edited trends here—just clean, classic vibes that’ll still look amazing in 50 years.
Intentionality: With film, every frame counts. That means I’m fully present, looking for the good stuff: the moments you didn’t even realize were happening.
