Some weddings were made for film. The Coody’s was one of them.
We captured her Christmas wedding in Fort Worth, Texas on 16mm film and VHS and the day had everything. A live band in a hotel ballroom, family filling every corner of the room, and the kind of holiday warmth that soaks into everything around it. Before we even rolled a frame, Hattie’s mother heard the sound of my vintage 16mm camera and started to cry. Not from sadness. From recognition. That sound meant something to her. That is exactly what shooting on film does that nothing digital ever will.
The 16mm brought the grain and the richness. The VHS brought the intimacy, that home movie feeling of a Christmas you remember but cannot quite place. Together they made something that looks the way nostalgia feels.
If you are getting married in Fort Worth, Dallas, Austin, or anywhere in Texas and you want a wedding film that actually feels like one, Front Gate Photo and Film shoots on 16mm film across all of DFW and beyond. Inquire about booking your 16mm wedding film today.
