35mm Film Now Included in Every Wedding Photography Package!

Writer: dan bealldan beall

There’s something undeniably timeless and romantic about 35mm film photography—the rich grain, the organic colours, and the depth of emotion it captures. Over the past year, my film add-on has been incredibly popular, and I’ve loved the way it enhances my signature documentary-style and editorial-style wedding photography. So, I’m making it official—35mm film is now included in every wedding photography package!



Why Film? A Timeless, Editorial Touch


As a wedding photographer, my approach is all about capturing authentic moments with a refined, editorial edge. I document your wedding in a way that feels effortless and cinematic, blending the raw emotion of documentary photography with the artistry of editorial storytelling.


Film photography takes this a step further. The soft, nostalgic tones, natural highlights, and unique textures create an atmospheric, almost dreamlike quality—perfect for capturing those fleeting, unscripted moments that make your wedding day truly yours.



What to Expect: Two Cameras, Two Perspectives


Throughout your wedding day, I’ll be shooting with two 35mm film cameras—one loaded with colour film and the other with black & white film. This means I’ll be documenting every part of your day in both timeless monochrome and rich, filmic colour simultaneously, ensuring a beautifully diverse collection of images that complement your digital gallery.


Whether it’s elegant, editorial-style portraits or candid, documentary-style storytelling, film brings an unmatched depth to your wedding photography. And if you love the idea of an all black & white film gallery for a truly nostalgic feel, we can tailor the experience to match your vision.



An Exclusive Bonus: A Special Film Gallery Delivered After Your Digital Photos


One of the most exciting parts of film photography is the anticipation of seeing the final scans. Your 35mm film gallery will be delivered after your full digital gallery, giving you another moment to relive your wedding day in a fresh, nostalgic way. It will be presented in its own separate collection, allowing you to experience the beauty of film as a standalone part of your wedding story.



Already Booked? Here’s a Special Offer!


If you’re already one of my couples but haven’t added 35mm film to your package, you can still upgrade at a reduced rate. Just send me a message, and I’ll take care of everything for you!


Let’s Create Something Truly Timeless


If you’re still looking for a wedding photographer who blends documentary storytelling with editorial artistry, I’d love to chat! With both film and digital photography in every package, you’ll have a wedding gallery that feels effortlessly natural, stylish, and timeless.


 
 

The Shack Revolution Wedding Photography – A Modern, Industrial Dream

My first wedding of 2025, and wow, what a way to kick things off at The Shack Revolution in Hereford! If you’re after a modern, industrial wedding venue with a laid-back vibe and stylish touches, this place is an absolute gem. The Shack Revolution Wedding Photography


A Venue That Just Works


The Shack Revolution is a city-center venue with that effortlessly cool, stripped-back aesthetic—think exposed brick, steel beams, and a slick, modern finish, but still with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It’s a space that feels both industrial and intimate, which makes it a dream to shoot in.





And then there’s the shack itself—yep, an actual old shipping container turned into the bridal prep suite, decked out in the coolest way. It’s got a raw, edgy feel but still totally functional, perfect for those pre-ceremony moments with your crew.





Incredible Ceremony Lighting


As a documentary-style wedding photographer, natural light is my best friend, and Shack Revolution delivers. The venue’s roof windows flood the ceremony space with soft, even light, making it an absolute dream for photography. No harsh shadows, no weird color casts—just perfect, natural illumination highlighting every emotion.





A Chic, Editorial Look for Abbie & Troy


Abbie mentioned she wanted that chic, editorial feel for her portraits, which I was buzzing to create! With Shack Revolution being tucked within a block of creative units, we took full advantage of the surrounding stairwells and urban backdrops to craft something stylish, modern, and full of personality. The result? A set of couple portraits that feel straight out of a high-end magazine while still being full of genuine, natural connection.





Winter Wedding Vibes & Fire Pits


Let’s be real—February in the UK is cold. But Shack Revolution had it covered with their fire pits, which kept guests (and me!) warm throughout the day. It added such a cozy atmosphere, especially as the evening drew in and everyone gathered around with drinks in hand.





A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Hereford


One of the coolest things about Shack Revolution is its location. Nestled among a cluster of independent businesses, it has that community-driven, creative energy that makes it feel extra special. It’s an ideal spot for couples who want a wedding that’s relaxed, stylish, and totally unique.





Why I Love Shooting at The Shack Revolution


• Natural light – Roof windows = dreamy, soft lighting for ceremonies.

• Industrial meets intimate – A perfect blend of modern styling with a warm atmosphere.

• Versatile spaces – From the edgy shipping container bridal suite to the urban backdrops nearby, there’s loads to work with.

• Laid-back but stylish – Perfect for couples who want an effortlessly cool, fun, and relaxed wedding.





If you’re planning a wedding at The Shack Revolution and love the idea of candid, relaxed, editorial-style photography, let’s chat! I’d love to capture your day in a way that feels natural, stylish, and totally you.

Sheffield, nestled in the heart of South Yorkshire, is a city brimming with character, charm, and stunning backdrops for weddings. As a documentary wedding photographer, I thrive on capturing genuine, unscripted moments that tell the unique story of your day. For this beautiful Sheffield wedding, the couple chose to enhance their coverage with a 35mm film add-on, bringing a timeless and artistic touch to their wedding gallery.



The Ceremony at The Well

The day began at The Well, a cozy and intimate venue in Sheffield that exudes warmth and a deep sense of connection. The ceremony was filled with heartfelt moments, from the emotional exchange of vows to the joy radiating from loved ones. My documentary approach allowed me to preserve these fleeting emotions as they unfolded naturally, creating a collection of images that feel raw, real, and authentic.



Couple Portraits at the Sheffield Botanical Gardens

After the ceremony, we headed to the Sheffield Botanical Gardens for couple portraits. This iconic location, with its sweeping lawns, vibrant floral displays, and historic glasshouses, offers a serene escape and a photographer’s dream. Incorporating 35mm film here brought a layer of nostalgia and artistry to their portraits. The soft grain, rich tones, and timeless feel of film complemented the lush greenery and romantic atmosphere perfectly.

Documenting these moments on film elevated the storytelling, making each frame feel like a cherished memory pulled from another era. The mix of digital and film photography gave the couple the best of both worlds—crisp, dynamic images alongside the textured beauty of film.



Reception at Cornerstone, Dyson Place

The celebration continued at Cornerstone, Dyson Place, a vibrant and stylish venue in Sheffield. The modern, open space provided the perfect backdrop for the reception. From the heartfelt speeches to the laughter shared during the meal and the electric energy on the dance floor, every moment was documented with a focus on storytelling.

The addition of 35mm film lent an extra layer of depth to these moments. Film has a unique ability to capture the atmosphere and emotion in a way that feels intimate and timeless. Combined with my documentary approach, the result was a collection of images that truly reflected the spirit of the day.



Why Choose Documentary Wedding Photography with 35mm Film?

Documentary wedding photography is about more than just capturing pictures—it’s about preserving moments as they naturally happen, without posing or interruption. Adding 35mm film to your wedding photography package brings an artistic and nostalgic element to your gallery. Film photography creates images with unique tones, a soft grain, and a timeless quality that digital cannot replicate.



For couples planning their wedding in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, or anywhere across the UK, combining documentary photography with 35mm film ensures your day is captured authentically and beautifully. Sheffield’s unique venues, from historic gardens to modern reception spaces, provide the perfect canvas for creating memories that will last a lifetime.



Let’s Document Your Day

If you’re dreaming of adding 35mm film to your package or want to learn more about how I work, get in touch!
