Film | Jamaica

When I as prepping for Alan & Ashley’s wedding in Jamaica, I knew I wanted to shoot a little film. So I packed 3 rolls of Kodak Portra 800 in my camera bag… but as weddings are (even the relaxed, destination type) time gets away from me, and my focus can get cloudy…. so I forget about the film and snapped along on my D700. After our 3 days in Montego bay I hadn’t even finished the first roll in my camera! I took all of THREE photos during the wedding….  Ashley’s shoes and one of their cocktail setup (after it was over)… #wompwomp so Jeremy and I walked the property one last time before catching our shuttle to the airport to finish up that roll. I got the scans back a few weeks ago… and we were both smacking ourselves…. WHY DID WE NOT SHOOT MORE FILM?!?!?! Ugh. it was a little heartbreaking to see these perfectly lush photos that feel like you could reach into them and touch the water and smell the flowers.

I vow that I WILL slow down and shoot a little more film!
