Preserving Wedding Flowers Through Film Photography
For those who adore the artistry of wedding details, let me share a personal story about how I turned a DIY project into a beautiful photography opportunity. When I got married, I took on the challenge of DIYing my own wedding flowers. I also planned to preserve them in resin, but as life got busy, those precious blooms ended up sitting in my closet for over nine months.
Instead of letting these beautiful flowers go to waste, I decided to combine my love for photography with a creative twist. I grabbed my film cameras (specifically my toy camera - a plastic Holga camera, and a 35mm Minolta) and set out to capture the essence of these dried flower arrangements. The result? Gorgeous, timeless film photos that celebrate the elegance and unique beauty of my wedding blooms.
If you’re planning a wedding and considering DIYing your flowers or any other details, remember that even if things don’t go as planned, there’s always a way to preserve those memories. Whether through film photography or another creative method, you can turn your personal touch into a cherished keepsake.
I’d also love to extend this special opportunity to you! If you’re interested in having me photograph your dried flowers from your wedding, please let me know. I’d be thrilled to capture the beauty of your own wedding blooms and turn them into stunning keepsakes. Let’s make those memories last forever.
