Son and Daughter Day, on expired slide film 🎞️❤️

Some of my favorite photographs will never be the technically perfect ones.

They’re the ones that hold a piece of our life exactly as it felt in that moment—the expressions, the little details, the way the light looked, and how quickly all of it seems to change.

I photographed my family on expired color slide film for these, and there’s something about the unpredictability of old film that feels especially fitting. The colors shift, the grain changes, and every frame becomes its own tiny time capsule.

One day these will just be old photographs.

Right now, they’re everything.

Happy Son and Daughter Day ❤️

📍 Turkey Run Hollow Wedding & Event Center
Some venues just hit differently in person, and Turkey Run Hollow honestly impressed us.
Walking into this ceremony space tucked beneath the pines feels like stepping into another little world. The rows of wooden benches, hanging lights, towering trees, and sunlight filtering through everything make it ridiculously beautiful — and even better on film. 🎞️🌲
We had to take a few frames just for the venue itself.
And yes… shot on real film, of course. There’s something about the greens, warm wood tones, and little imperfections of film that fit this place perfectly.
Definitely excited to photograph more weddings here.

A proposal at Monroeville Community Park, captured on 35mm film 🎞️💍

There’s something especially fitting about photographing a moment like this on film. The anticipation, the surprise, the emotion afterward—it all feels a little more permanent when it’s preserved on a real negative.

No retakes. No checking the back of the camera. Just one genuine moment, captured exactly as it happened.

That soft grain, natural color, and slightly nostalgic feel is exactly why we love bringing 35mm film into proposal and engagement photography around Pittsburgh.

Gabi & Layne on film at Coop de Ville 🎞️

A little neon, a little nostalgia, and a love that already feels timeless.

There’s something about photographing an engagement session on real film that makes every moment feel a little more romantic—the soft grain, warm color, imperfect little details, and that unmistakable feeling of looking back on a memory instead of just a photograph.

Coop de Ville was the perfect backdrop for Gabi & Layne’s night: playful, retro, intimate, and completely their own.

Pittsburgh has a way of surprising you with just how beautiful it can be.

Between the old architecture, the hills, the bridges, the parks, and the way the light settles over the city, there are so many places here that deserve to be photographed slowly.

This frame was made on 4×5 Kodak E100VS slide film—one sheet, one exposure, and a much more intentional way of working than digital.

There’s something special about seeing Pittsburgh rendered on large-format transparency film. The color, detail, depth, and slightly nostalgic character make the city feel almost larger than life.

A little reminder that some of the most beautiful places to photograph are right here at home. 🎞️

Olivia + Andrew on film 🎞️🍦

A little wandering through Frick Park, a stop for Millie’s, and an engagement session that felt more like a summer date than a photoshoot.

That’s one of our favorite things about photographing couples on real film—the imperfect little moments become the photographs you want to keep. The grain, the colors, the movement, the way everything feels just a little more nostalgic before it’s even had time to become a memory.

From the greenery at Frick Park to ice cream at Millie’s, Pittsburgh made a pretty perfect backdrop for these two.

Sabrina + her fiancé at Frick Park, photographed on Kodak Gold 200 with the Zeiss Super Ikonta 6x6 — self-developed and scanned in-house.
This one was just the Zeiss, and that camera has such a special feel. The Super Ikonta is a folding medium format rangefinder from the golden age of travel cameras — compact enough to fold into a coat pocket, but opening up to shoot big 6x6 square negatives.
The lens design has even deeper history: the Zeiss Tessar formula dates back to the early 1900s and became famous for being sharp, compact, and full of character. So these engagement photos were made with a camera that is roughly 70–90 years old, using a lens design that has been around for over a century.
Old camera, real film, Pittsburgh summer light, and two people right at the start of their next chapter.
