There’s something special about film photography—the grain, the soft texture, the way light spills across each frame. It’s not just about taking photos; it’s about preserving a feeling.
When I brought my 35mm camera to Tyler State Park, I knew it would be different. Film slows everything down, makes each frame intentional, and brings out the raw, unfiltered beauty of a moment.
Film isn’t just another way to take photos—it’s an experience.
Unlike digital, where you can take unlimited shots and see them instantly, film requires patience. Every frame is intentional, making each captured moment feel more meaningful.
For this couple, choosing 35mm photography added an extra layer of nostalgia and artistry. The deep contrast of black and white, the organic grain—it all came together to create something timeless.
Nestled in East Texas, Tyler State Park is a dream location for a photography session. Towering pine trees, winding trails, and a lake reflecting golden light—it’s the kind of setting that was made for 35mm film.
We started by the water, letting the ripples create a dreamy, reflective backdrop. As the sun dipped lower, we wandered through the trees, using shifting light and natural textures to shape the story.
With film, there’s no rush—just the couple, their connection, and a setting that feels like something out of a classic love story.
Black and white photography strips away distractions and focuses on what truly matters—the emotion, the connection, and the light.
The contrast between deep shadows and the soft glow of their faces made every image feel cinematic. The trees stretching high above, the water mirroring the sky—it was like something from a vintage love story.
This is why I love capturing engagement sessions on film. Because film doesn’t just record a moment, it preserves it.
