Bex & Ayo | 35mm Film Bath Wedding
Bex and Ayo’s wedding in Bath was photographed using traditional 35mm film. I photographed throughout the day using Nikon F3 and Nikon F100 film cameras with Kodak Gold 200 colour film and Kentmere 400 black and white film. The result is a collection of timeless, analogue wedding photographs full of rich colour, beautiful grain and authentic character.
35mm Film Wedding Photography in Bath
A bit of vintage fashion and some Ghanaian culture was the theme for Bex and Ayo’s wedding in Bath.
The day started with meeting Bex and Ayo at an Airbnb along Henrietta Street in Bath for preparation photos and a first look for Bex and Ayo. It was a nice chilled start to the day and gave the oppurtunity for the 3 of us to walk to the ceremony through Bath and take some photos along the way.
The wedding ceremony was held at the Guildhall in Bath with many of their friends and family there to witness the event. Due to the dark wood panelling of the ceremony room I pushed the Kodak Gold and the Kentmere 400 a ‘stop’ to help with the exposure.
After the ceremony we stayed around the Guildhall for a few bride and groom photos and some family group photos and headed down to the nearby park from a few more posed shots before heading off by boat to the Bathwick Boatman - a fabulous restaurant on the edge of the River Avon. Here we did a few more bride and groom photos - how could I not when they looked as good as they did!! And a couple of spontaneous groups of their closest friends.
The speeches were personal and extremely emotional especially when Ayo’s brother said his piece.
From the Bathwick Boatman we headed off to the Claverton Down Community Hall where more guests joined for the evening celebration of traditional Ghanaian money throwing amazing Ghanaian food and a massive party for all.
It was an incredible day and a pleasure to have been able to capture it on 35mm film.
KIND WORDS
Dale was fantastic! He captured our wedding day in an unobtrusive way and there are so many photos that we will treasure forever. There are moments that happened that I don’t remember, that we can now re live! The quality of the photos is absolutely stunning, from the candid ones to the posed ones. The 35mm film photos have a beautiful vintage feel to them and look timeless. Thank you so much Dale!
