Analogue Wedding Photography for Style-Conscious Couples
I shoot weddings on film for the texture, colour and nostalgia that connects us with our parents and grandparents photographs.
My approach is friendly and honest, uniting a documentary feel with a fashion-led, editorial eye for framing. This helps create analogue wedding photography that feels nostalgic but modern.
I remember when I was a child flipping through our family photo albums for what felt like hours. Remembering each 6x4" print tucked into those crinkly sleeves, with negatives stored neatly at the back. It felt like stepping back into that time, and I love it.

Real Weddings on 35mm Film
I've photographed church ceremonies in Cambridge, countryside celebrations in Kent and elegant stately home weddings across the South East, using 35mm film alongside digital photography to tell each story in full.

I usually photograph weddings using a combination of digital and 35mm film. Digital gives me the security to capture everything as it unfolds, while film is distributed across the day in an intentional way.
I love using film for couple portraits and details in particular. Every roll is professionally developed and scanned before being delivered as part of your final gallery.
My work naturally suits elegant, luxury celebrations, from historic colleges and stately homes to beautifully styled garden marquees. No matter this size I’m drawn to weddings with warmth and genuine connection, using 35mm film to capture honest moments alongside a refined editorial perspective shaped by my fashion background.
Before weddings, I worked in fashion with modelling agencies: I bring that experience into my film photography, combining natural light and flash when it suits the day, while keeping the overall approach friendly and close to the action.

Editorial Documentary Wedding Photography on Film
I give my clients the option to include as little as one roll of 35mm film with their wedding photography. If you’d like more, you’re welcome to upgrade to up to eight rolls for the day.
My fashion-trained eye meets a documentary approach, staying close to the action and capturing moments as they unfold on 35mm film. I’m drawn to joyful, honest connection where I bring a refined editorial quality without turning your wedding into something that's not authentic.
"Every image feels authentic, polished, and full of life, and we’ll treasure them forever. Tom was truly perfect, and we can’t wait for him to photograph more special milestones for us in the future. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, creative Film photographer!"

Behind the lens
Hi, I’m Tom an award winning Kent wedding photographer with a love for film photography. What matters most to me are the real, original moments that show people as they truly are. My approach blends honest, documentary-style storytelling with a refined fashion editorial finish. It’s ideal for couples who want beautiful, natural images without all the stiff posing.
My work has been featured in magazines and I’m proud to be recommended by venues across the South East and Cambridgeshire. Whether you're tying the knot in a grand setting or somewhere small and personal, I’ll be there to photograph all the emotion and joy.
Tom's meticulous planning, his relaxed and jovial nature, through to his complete professionalism throughout the day, made two very non-natural posers comfortable.
Tom is one of the best photographers out there, he has taken such stunning photos of our special day and we have had so many compliments about how beautiful the photos are. He was so lovely to be with on our special day. Tom is friendly, fun, caring and just brilliant.

I focus on moments as usual like I do with digital photography, but pick the moments where it's slower and less pressure. Things like portraits, ceremonies, golden hour, and emotional, quiet moments.

Film has a unique, timeless quality that since 2024 couples have been regularly requesting. It will never completely replace digital, but will always have a space in my kit bag.
