Film Wedding Photographer

Hi, I’m Colman, film only wedding photographer. My style revolves around capturing candid moments, natural light and shooting film. I shoot most of my weddings hybrid (digital + film), and specialize in elopements and weddings in natural light. I started shooting in San Diego but Im not based in NYC but willing to travel anywhere.

One time I stayed at a friends grandparent’s house on a road trip. When her grandma heard I was a wedding photographer her eyes lit up. She went and got her wedding album from 60 years ago to show me. To me this is the best part of my job. I get to create art for people that more than half a century from now they will still treasure.

Capturing your wedding day is more than just a task; it’s an art form that reflects the authenticity of your love story. Opting for a candid film style photographer means choosing to embrace the true emotions, spontaneous moments, and vibrant colors that make your day uniquely yours.

A candid approach means that you’ll be surrounded by your loved ones, not posed under bright lights. I will weave through the event, capturing genuine laughter, joyful tears, and all those little interactions that define your celebration. Every glance, touch, and smile is documented without interruption, allowing you to savor every moment as it unfolds. Book your candid film style session today and preserve the memories of your love in a way that reflects your true selves.
