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.
