After all, this wasn’t just a wedding—it was a celebration of ten years of love and friendship, surrounded by the people who had been part of their journey from the start.

Timeless Photography to Capture Their Love

As lovers of film photography and vintage aesthetics, Madi and Leo’s wedding day was filled with Polaroids, 35mm film, and digital captures that gave their photos a timeless, nostalgic feel. From the radiant smiles to the tearful glances, every candid moment was preserved in a way that felt as real and unpolished as the day itself.

Madi and Leo’s request to remember their day as “happy, in love, young, and beautiful” was central to how we approached their photos. Every shot was a reflection of their love story—natural, emotional, and truly authentic.
