Why 35mm Film Is the Perfect Addition to Your Wedding Package

When planning your wedding photography, it’s easy to get lost in the world of digital perfection—vivid colors, crystal-clear images, and the ability to capture countless moments. But what if you could blend the modern with the timeless? That’s where 35mm film photography steps in, offering a nostalgic touch to your wedding day that digital photography simply can’t replicate.

What Are 35mm Film Photos?

35mm film photography is the classic analog process many of us grew up admiring in old family photo albums. Each image is captured on a physical strip of film, with no digital intervention. The process is slower, intentional, and rooted in artistry.

Unlike digital photography, where adjustments can be made instantly, every shot on 35mm film is deliberate. The result? Photographs that feel raw, emotional, and utterly authentic. The grainy textures, soft tones, and light flares inherent in film photos create a dreamy, vintage aesthetic that transports you to another era.

The Impact of Adding 35mm Film to Your Wedding

1. Unique Aesthetic
The imperfections of film photography—light leaks, slight color shifts, and natural grain—add character to your wedding gallery. These photos stand out, offering a tangible contrast to the polished perfection of digital images.

2. Nostalgia and Timelessness
Film photos have an unmatched ability to evoke emotions. They feel like memories the moment you see them, reminding you of simpler times. Decades from now, you’ll look at your wedding album and feel like you’re flipping through a family heirloom.

3. Curated Moments
Since every shot counts on 35mm film, your photographer will focus on capturing the most meaningful, intimate moments. The result is a curated collection of heartfelt images that tell your love story in a way digital photos often cannot.

4. A Connection to the Past
Film photography connects your wedding day to traditions of the past. It’s a subtle way to honor your parents’ or grandparents’ wedding photos while creating something uniquely yours.

Showcasing the Magic: Real Couples, Real Moments

To give you a glimpse of the timeless beauty of 35mm film, we’re showcasing the wedding photos of three amazing couples:

Michael + Madison:

Eric + Jordan:

Why Choose Both Digital and Film Photography?

Combining digital and 35mm film photography gives you the best of both worlds. You’ll have the crisp, high-definition quality of digital images for social sharing and large prints, paired with the warm, nostalgic charm of film photos for keepsakes and personal treasures. Together, they create a beautifully balanced wedding gallery.

Bride’s Guide: How to Feel Confident & Camera-Ready on Your Wedding Day

We’ve already covered the Groom’s Guide to getting camera-ready, so now it’s time to turn our attention to the ladies. Your wedding day will be filled with emotion and unforgettable moments, and every glance, laugh, and happy tear deserves to be captured beautifully. With a bit of thoughtful preparation, you can step in front of the camera feeling relaxed, confident, and radiant. Here’s Move Mountains Co.'s ultimate guide to looking and feeling your best in every shot.

1. Build a Skincare Routine That Works for You

Beautiful makeup starts with a healthy foundation—your skin. In the months leading up to your wedding, stick to a skincare routine that suits your skin type, focusing on cleansing, exfoliating, and hydrating. Consider adding facials or targeted treatments, and remember that staying hydrated and eating well are essential for that natural glow.

2. Perfect Your Makeup Look

Whether you envision a natural glow or a bold look, schedule a makeup trial with your artist or practice if you’re doing it yourself. Experiment with styles to find one that flatters you in various lighting and angles. When it comes to your wedding day, you’ll know exactly what to expect and can enjoy every minute without stress.

3. Don’t Skip Hair Prep

Your hairstyle is as important as your dress. Schedule a trial run with your stylist to find the best look for your dress, face shape, and personal style. To get your hair in top condition, avoid major changes close to the wedding, get regular trims, and opt for deep conditioning treatments.

4. Keep Hands in Focus

Your hands will take center stage for the ring exchange and bouquet close-ups, so they deserve special care. Regular manicures and moisturizing treatments will keep nails and cuticles looking their best, and a simple, elegant color can elevate your look.

5. Prioritize Rest and Relaxation

A well-rested bride is a radiant bride. In the days before the wedding, make time for self-care, get plenty of sleep, and relax with calming activities like meditation or a nature walk. Feeling calm and rested will add to your glow in photos.

6. Final Touches on Your Attire

Your dress is the focal point, but the little things matter too. Be sure your shoes are polished, jewelry is shining, and accessories are perfectly in place. Tailoring makes all the difference in how your dress fits and moves on camera, so don’t skimp on alterations.

7. Practice Makes Perfect

If you’re nervous about posing, practice a few angles and expressions that feel natural to you. Use your engagement shoot to discover what works best, and on your wedding day, trust your photographer to guide you—they know how to capture your beauty in every light and from every angle.

8. Celebrate Your Unique Beauty

Above all, let your natural beauty and personality shine. Whether that means minimal makeup, a non-traditional dress, or embracing your natural hair, choose what feels authentic to you. The camera captures confidence, so feeling true to yourself is key.

At Move Mountains Co., we’re here to document your day in a way that feels genuine and timeless. With a bit of preparation, you’ll look back on photos that capture the best version of yourself—beautiful, confident, and fully in the moment.

The Ultimate Guide to Creating a Cinematic Wedding Film

Creating the perfect wedding film goes beyond simply recording moments; it’s about telling a story that captures the heart of your day. At Move Mountains Co., we understand that a wedding film is a lifelong keepsake, meant to preserve not only the events but also the emotions, atmosphere, and essence of your celebration. With that in mind, here are some of our favorite recent wedding videos as well as our top 10 tips for making your wedding film a cinematic masterpiece you'll treasure forever:

1. Communicate Your Vision

Start by sharing your vision with your videographer. Talk about your preferred style—whether it's classic, cinematic, documentary, or something uniquely you. Discuss must-have shots, like the first look or that magical sunset kiss, and any specific details or moments that are especially meaningful. By being clear on your vision, your videographer can tailor their approach to reflect your personal story, creating a film that feels authentic to who you are as a couple.

2. Choose the Right Videographer

Take time to find a videographer whose style aligns with your vision. Review their portfolio, watch full wedding films (not just highlight reels), and make sure their previous work matches what you envision. A good match will bring a seamless creative connection, making the filming process enjoyable and ensuring you’ll love the final product. An aligned vision and communication style are key to building trust, which is essential for a stress-free experience.

3. Plan a Detailed Timeline

A well-structured timeline is crucial to capturing every important moment without rushing. Collaborate with your videographer on this timeline, allocating extra time for essential shots, including prep, the ceremony, and those intimate sunset shots. This careful planning ensures your videographer has time to set up, get the best angles, and capture each moment thoughtfully—leaving you free to enjoy the day.

4. Scout the Venue

Take your videographer to the venue before the wedding day. This allows them to identify the best shooting spots, assess lighting conditions, and find unique angles that highlight your setting. A venue walkthrough also gives them a chance to get creative with how they’ll approach each part of the day, maximizing the venue’s beauty and ensuring a seamless shooting experience.

5. Consider Audio Quality

High-quality audio is essential for a great wedding film. Clear recordings of vows, speeches, and toasts bring the emotions of the day to life in a way visuals alone can’t capture. Ask your videographer about audio equipment, and make sure they use quality microphones. Good audio setup is crucial for avoiding any technical mishaps and ensuring every spoken word is beautifully preserved.

6. Incorporate Personal Elements

Adding personal touches makes your wedding film feel more intimate and unique. Whether it’s exchanging handwritten vows, including special decor, or filming at meaningful locations, these elements deepen the narrative and make the video more special. Encourage your videographer to capture the details that mean the most to you—each one will help tell your love story in an authentic, personal way.

7. Stay Natural & Candid

The best wedding films capture the genuine joy of the day. Try to stay present and focus on each other, letting your emotions show naturally. Don’t worry about the camera; instead, embrace the spontaneity of the day, from quiet glances to bursts of laughter. These candid, unscripted moments make your film feel authentic and give it a heartfelt, relatable charm.

8. Use Natural Light

Natural light is incredibly flattering and gives your film a warm, organic quality. Work with your videographer to plan key moments—like couple’s portraits—around "golden hour" (just after sunrise or before sunset) for that soft, glowing light. Indoors, consider window lighting, as it adds depth and brightness to your film. Great lighting brings a cinematic quality that makes every moment shine.

9. Trust Your Videographer

Once you’ve chosen a videographer whose style you love, let them work their magic. Trusting their expertise allows them the creative freedom to experiment with angles, perspectives, and techniques that will enhance your film. They have a trained eye for capturing the little moments you might miss, and giving them space to do so results in a more artful, professional film.

10. Enjoy the Process

Remember to savor your wedding day and let your happiness shine! The more you relax and embrace the day, the more that genuine joy will come through on camera. Your wedding film is a reflection of the love and excitement you feel, so let go, enjoy each moment, and allow yourself to truly be present—those emotions are what make your film timeless.

At Move Mountains Co., we are committed to capturing your story in a way that reflects the genuine magic of your day. Reach out to us to learn how we can turn your wedding moments into a cinematic memory that lasts a lifetime!

The Art of Mismatched Bridesmaid Dresses & How to Achieve the Look

At Move Mountains Co., we’ve seen countless trends come and go, but one that has truly captivated brides in recent years is the artful approach to mismatched bridesmaid dresses. While some brides still want their bridesmaids to wear identical gowns, more and more couples are opting for a mix of patterns, textures, and styles, all unified by a cohesive color palette. This trend not only allows for individuality but also adds visual interest and depth to your wedding photos.

Why This Trend Works

The beauty of mismatched bridesmaid dresses lies in their versatility. By selecting dresses in the same color family but varying the patterns and textures, you create a look that is both cohesive and dynamic. This trend allows your bridesmaids to choose a dress that flatters their unique body type and style, making them feel more comfortable and confident on your big day.

If you want your maid of honor to stand out, consider a dress in a slightly different shade or a unique pattern within the same color palette. Another option is to add distinctive accessories like a statement necklace, a floral crown, or a more intricate bouquet. These subtle differences will highlight her special role while still maintaining the overall harmony of your bridal party’s look.

Brian and Libby’s wedding perfectly captured this trend. Libby's bridesmaids wore light blue dresses that beautifully complemented the wedding colors. Each dress had a unique cut, with some featuring solid colors and others adorned with sweet white floral patterns, all perfectly enhancing the springtime celebration:

Additionally, the visual appeal of mixed dresses creates a richer and more layered aesthetic, which translates beautifully in photos. When done right, this approach can elevate the entire bridal party's look, creating a sophisticated yet relaxed vibe. At Luke and Cassie's wedding, the bridesmaids dazzled in a variety of green shades, with some donning floral patterns and others in solid colors. Each dress was uniquely cut, cocktail-length, and perfectly suited to match the personality and style of each bridesmaid:

How to Achieve the Mismatched Look

1. Choose a Color Palette: Start by selecting a color palette that complements your wedding theme. Whether you’re drawn to soft pastels, earthy tones, or bold jewel hues, the key is to stick to shades within the same family.

2. Mix Patterns and Textures: Once your palette is set, you can introduce variety through different fabrics and patterns. Think lace, chiffon, velvet, or even subtle prints like florals or polka dots. The variation in textures will add depth and keep the look from feeling flat.

3. Keep Some Elements Consistent: To maintain a sense of unity, consider keeping certain elements consistent across all dresses. This could be the dress length, the type of fabric, or even just the color intensity. For example, you might choose to have all your bridesmaids in floor-length gowns or all in muted tones of the same color.

4. Involve Your Bridesmaids: Allow your bridesmaids to have a say in their dresses. Provide them with the color palette and style guidelines, but let them choose the dress that suits them best. This not only ensures they’ll feel comfortable but also adds a personal touch to the bridal party’s look.

5. Accessorize Thoughtfully: Complete the look with accessories that tie everything together. Consider matching bouquets, similar hairstyles, or coordinating jewelry to add another layer of cohesion to the ensemble.

Whether it’s a seaside ceremony with bridesmaids in varying shades of blue or a rustic barn wedding with earth-toned dresses, the results have always been stunning.

Taylor and Emily went for a unique look—Emily’s bridesmaids wore dresses in various greens, pinks, and blues, with different cuts and a mix of patterns and solids.

Ultimate Checklist for Magazine-Worthy Wedding Flat Lays!

When planning your wedding, the details matter. From the flowers to the table settings, every element contributes to the overall magic of your big day. One often overlooked aspect is the wedding flat lay—a curated collection of your wedding's most beautiful and significant details, artfully arranged and photographed. Perfect flat lays can make your wedding album look like it belongs in a high-end bridal magazine. Here's your ultimate checklist to ensure your flat lays are picture-perfect, brought to you by Move Mountains Co.

Move Mountains Co. photographers and videographers bring flat lay mats (typically cream for brides and black for grooms) and an accessories kit, complete with ring boxes, jewelry dishes, ribbons, and other decorative elements, to help create stunning flat lays.

1. The Invitations & Stationery

Start with the basics: your wedding invitations, save-the-dates, RSVP cards, and any other stationery. These items set the tone for your wedding and often feature your color scheme and themes. Including them in your flat lay creates a cohesive narrative.

2. Rings & Jewelry

Highlight the sparkle! Include both engagement rings and wedding bands, along with any other special jewelry pieces you'll be wearing. Position them thoughtfully to catch the light and add a touch of glamour to your flat lay.

3. Flowers & Greenery

Incorporate elements of your wedding bouquet and other floral arrangements. Small blooms, petals, and greenery can add color and texture, making your flat lay vibrant and organic. Work with your florist to set aside a few extra blooms or greenery pieces specifically for this purpose. These elements can be layered around stationery, rings, and other details to create a cohesive and magazine-worthy composition. Including florals ensures your flat lay mirrors the romantic atmosphere of your day, adding an organic and vibrant charm that photographs beautifully

4. Personal Touches

Add items that are uniquely you. This could be a locket with a photo, a special brooch, or a handkerchief with sentimental value. Personal touches make your flat lay more intimate and meaningful.

5. Vows & Letters

Include handwritten vows, love letters, or notes exchanged between you and your partner. These heartfelt words add an emotional layer to your flat lay, capturing the essence of your relationship.

6. Wedding Accessories

Don't forget the accessories! Shoes, cufflinks, hairpins, and bow ties can all be beautifully arranged to enhance the visual interest of your flat lay. These items help tell the story of your wedding day attire.

7. Perfume & Cologne

A bottle of your wedding day fragrance adds a sensory element to your flat lay. Not only does it look elegant, but it also reminds you of the scent that will forever be tied to your special day.

8. Fabric Swatches & Ribbons

Enhance the texture of your flat lay with fabric swatches or ribbons that match your wedding colors. They can be used as backdrops or to tie together different elements of the flat lay, creating a harmonious look.

9. Keepsakes & Mementos

Incorporate small items that hold significance, like a piece of lace from your mother's wedding dress, a family heirloom, or a souvenir from a special trip. These keepsakes add depth and a personal story to your flat lay.

10. Calligraphy & Wax Seals

Elevate the elegance of your flat lay with calligraphy place cards or envelopes, and don't forget the wax seals. These details add a touch of sophistication and timeless charm to your photos.

By following this ultimate checklist, you'll create wedding flat lays that are not only beautiful but also tell the story of your love and celebration in a way that's worthy of a magazine spread. Happy planning!
