Reception photography is where your photographer captures the heart and soul of a wedding celebration. By using a combination of film cameras such as the Holga, Contax T2, and disposables, I have elevated my reception photography to new heights, leaving each image with a timeless charm, authenticity, and a sense of adventure. Through the lens of these film cameras, I have the ability to capture the nature of the celebration in ways that transcend the ordinary, immersing viewers in a visual journey that evokes emotion, nostalgia, and a profound connection to the moment.
Holga
The Holga is popular for its lo-fi aesthetic, producing dreamy and unpredictable images with light leaks, vignetting, and soft focus. By using a Holga at your reception, you can create nostalgic photographs that evoke a sense of whimsy and romance. Its simplicity and unpredictability lend a sense of authenticity to the images, capturing the energy and atmosphere of the celebration in a raw and unfiltered manner.
Contax T2
A Contax T2 is a high-end, 35mm film, point-and-shoot camera known for its sleek titanium body and exceptional image quality thanks to its Carl Zeiss T* Sonnar 38mm f/2.8 lens, considered a “cult classic” among photography enthusiasts due to its combination of portability and professional-grade optics; it was released by Kyocera under the Contax brand in the early 1990s. It allows you to capture the vibrant energy and candid moments of your reception with precision and clarity. The rich colors and fine details rendered by the Contax T2 add a timeless elegance to your photographs, ensuring that every moment is preserved with beauty and grace.
Disposables
Disposable cameras offer a fun and interactive way to involve your guests in the photography process. The spontaneity and unpredictability of disposable cameras add an element of surprise to the photographs, resulting in a diverse collection of images that showcase the celebration from various viewpoints. Additionally, disposable cameras provide a nostalgic charm and tactile experience that digital photography cannot replicate, creating tangible mementos that you can cherish for years to come.
