Chloe + Jake’s Cabin Wedding: on film

Chloe and Jake’s wedding at their family’s cabin on Clearwater Lake was the perfect setting for film photography—raw, nostalgic, and timeless! Every frame captured on film felt like it belonged in an old family album, rich with warmth and meaning. From the golden light filtering through the trees to the candid laughter shared between loved ones, film preserved it all with an artistry that can’t be replicated.

Why Film Was the Perfect Fit

  • Soft, natural tones that complemented the warmth of their lakeside wedding
  • A nostalgic quality that felt true to the history of the family cabin
  • A slower, intentional process that let moments unfold naturally
  • Beautiful imperfections—light leaks, grain, and depth that made every image feel one-of-a-kind

Highlights from Their Day on Film

  • Getting Ready at the Cabin – Jake got ready in Chloe’s grandma’s cabin, a space filled with memories, while Chloe shared a champagne toast with the women in her family before receiving a book of handwritten letters from the most important women in her life. The morning was filled with sentimentality, quiet joy, and the anticipation of the day ahead.
  • A First Look on the Dock – With the lake stretching endlessly behind them, Chloe and Jake took a deep breath and saw each other for the first time. The way the light hit the water, the emotion in their eyes—film captured it with a softness that felt like a memory in motion. The richness of film preserved this moment with a depth that digital never could.
  • A Ceremony Set in Stone – In keeping with family tradition, they created a stepping stone with their handprints to be placed alongside generations before them. The simplicity of film made this moment feel even more meaningful—raw, unfiltered, and deeply personal.
  • The Party by the Lake – As the night went on, the energy shifted from sentimentality to celebration. Guests kicked off their shoes and danced under the open sky, music echoing over the water. Drinks were flowing, laughter was contagious, and film captured every wild, unfiltered moment—from carefree twirls in the sand to impromptu toasts and the kind of joy that only happens when you’re surrounded by your favourite people. This was a party that no one wanted to end, and the photos feel just as alive as the night itself!

Why I Love Shooting Film at Weddings

  • It captures emotion in a way that feels real and timeless
  • The colours and tones are soft, organic, and rich with depth
  • It encourages couples to slow down and be present in their moments
  • The final images feel like memories rather than just photographs
