Film vs Digital: Why 35mm Cameras Feel Different.

Digital photography is everywhere, from smartphones to professional DSLRs. But there’s something undeniably different about shooting on 35mm film. It’s not just the look of the photos — it’s the process, the feeling, the anticipation.

Film makes you slow down. Every frame counts, and that limitation brings focus. When you’re shooting a wedding, event, party or milestone on film, you capture what really matters instead of endless takes.

The photos themselves feel warmer, richer and more alive. Grain, soft edges and unexpected light leaks all add to the charm. You don’t get a preview screen telling you if the photo was “perfect.” Instead, you wait. And when the film is developed, you’re rewarded with memories that feel more timeless.
