Stuart & Daena: Engaged (Part 2)

I’m super excited for part 2 of this insanely fun shoot. It has been over 13 years since I last shot film in my high school photo class. Once digital became mainstream, I jumped on that bandwagon and I also joined the camp that film was no longer relevant. As you can probably tell, I am making quite a few changes to the look of my business and it seems that based on where I want to go, film represents exactly what is relevant in my art form. It’s about getting back to what I love about photography…the thrill of getting a great shot. My excitement over waiting for these film scans to get back to me reminded me of when I learned to develop my own prints in a darkroom…the anticipation of that photo appearing from nothing when in the developer bath.

I love that Daena and Stu get to be the first subjects in this exciting new phase of my art. And I am equally in love with how their beauty shines through in these raw moments!
