We are absolutely in love with our wedding photos. Ember was more than just our photographer, she was a calming and steady presence throughout the whole weekend. She jumped in and helped above and beyond what was expected of her. We are so grateful to have met Ember and can’t imagine what our wedding would have been without her and her talent.

If you're looking for a photographer who will capture the emotion and intimate moments from your special day, Ember is the perfect match!

She brought our dream vision to life and we cherish our photos so dearly, especially the film photos! She is incredibly talented, but most of all she is thoughtful, intentional, and sincere.

Having her be a part of the wedding, alongside our second shooter Kaylin Elmore, was everything and more. Together, they made the day even more special.

In an era where digital photography has reached astonishing levels of quality and convenience, you may wonder why film photography is experiencing a resurgence. The answer lies in something deeper than pixels and resolutions—it's about authenticity, nostalgia, and an appreciation for imperfection.

In today's fast-paced, highly curated world, many people are craving something real, something tangible. Film photography offers just that. A physical strip of negatives holds priceless moments, captured through a meticulous chemical process. Unlike digital photography, where images can be instantly reviewed and edited, film carries an element of risk. A slight mistake in exposure or development can ruin an entire roll. But therein lies its beauty—the unpredictability, the uniqueness, and the raw emotion it captures.

For weddings, film photography is an unmatched choice if you want timeless, heartfelt moments preserved in their purest form. Film forces photographers to slow down, to be intentional, and to truly take in the moment before pressing the shutter. Every frame is valuable, making each shot more thoughtful and meaningful. Unlike digital files that can get lost in the cloud, film negatives are tangible keepsakes—lasting reminders of one of the most important days of your life.

THE ART OF FILM THROUGH EMBER'S EYES

Ember’s journey into film photography began when she realized that digital photography wasn’t fulfilling her creative vision. As someone deeply inspired by cinema, antiques, tradition, and fine art, she was drawn to the magic of analog photography—the process, the patience, and the excitement of seeing an image come to life.

Her passion led her to experiment with developing her own film at home in a makeshift darkroom. Though her first few rolls were far from perfect, the experience ignited something inside her. From that moment, she became obsessed—exploring different types of film stocks, experimenting with various cameras and lenses, and continuously pushing the boundaries of her artistry.

Film photography is more than a medium; it’s a way of storytelling. Ember hopes to inspire others to embrace the beauty of analog photography and preserve the artistry that has been cherished for generations. She believes film deserves a permanent place in the wedding industry, ensuring couples receive a gallery filled with truly timeless, irreplaceable moments.

If you value nostalgia, artistry, and the irreplaceable charm of film, consider making it part of your wedding story. Let your love be captured the way it was meant to be—raw, beautiful, and forever timeless.
