Content Creators at Weddings vs. 35mm Analogue Film Wedding Photographers: A Perfect Balance for Your Special Day in Ireland
When it comes to wedding photography, couples today are faced with an exciting variety of choices. In Ireland, the rise of content creators—those who focus on capturing dynamic, Instagram-ready moments—is becoming increasingly popular. On the other hand, 35mm analogue film wedding photography continues to hold its timeless charm, offering something uniquely nostalgic and enduring. But what’s the difference between these two approaches, and how can they complement each other?


The Instant Buzz of Content Creators at Weddings
In the age of social media, content creators have become a go-to option for couples who want to share their special day in real-time. With their smartphones, digital cameras, and quick-edit skills, content creators produce a constant stream of shareable content.
Why Choose a Content Creator?
- Instant Gratification: You get quick, social-media-ready posts to share with friends and family almost immediately. Instagram stories, reels, and TikTok videos allow you to relive the fun even while the wedding is still in full swing.
- Dynamic & Trendy: Content creators focus on capturing the energy of the day—be it candid moments, fun behind-the-scenes shots, or short video clips that convey the excitement. Their approach is fast, fun, and in line with current trends.
- Engaging Narratives: With a content creator at your wedding, expect creative storytelling that uses quick edits and transitions, often with a focus on capturing the lighthearted and spontaneous aspects of the day.
However, the fast pace of content creation sometimes comes at a cost, as the timeline at a wedding is very important, and there is no place for error. While you’ll have lots of fun, social-ready content, the depth and timeless beauty of more traditional forms of wedding photography can be missed.
The Timeless Beauty of 35mm Analog Film Wedding Photography
In contrast, 35mm analogue film wedding photography offers something that digital photography simply can’t replicate—a sense of permanence, artistry, and nostalgia. As a wedding photographer also person with over 40 years of experience with photography- yes, 40 years with a camera in my hand :)
I find that analogue film captures moments in a way that feels intimate and special, preserving them for generations to come.
Why Choose 35mm Analog Film Wedding Photography?
- Timeless and Nostalgic: The unique texture, color depth, and warmth of film photography give your wedding photos a timeless quality. These images feel like heirlooms, capturing the emotions of your day in a way that will never go out of style.
- Deliberate and Artistic: With film, each shot matters. There’s no rapid-fire snapping of the shutter. Instead, each moment is carefully selected, resulting in images that have an authentic, thoughtful quality. The slower pace allows me to focus on capturing those quiet, intimate moments that truly define your wedding day.
- A Legacy in Print: Film photography is about creating lasting memories. You’ll receive printed photos that you can hold in your hands, treasure, and pass down through generations. There’s something incredibly special about having these tangible memories of your day. Traditional Wedding Albums
My 35mm analogue film wedding photography package includes five rolls of film, with all photos printed from those rolls, plus additional prints, ensuring you have both the digital convenience and the tactile joy of printed memories. As a Wedding Photographer, I love film photography.





Content Creators and Analog Film Photography: A Perfect Blend
The great news is that you don’t have to choose between content creators and analog film photography—they complement each other beautifully. While content creators capture the fun, energetic vibe of the day, analog film provides those deeply personal and artistic moments that tell the complete story of your wedding.
By choosing both, you’ll have the best of both worlds: social-ready content for sharing the buzz of your day, and timeless analog film images that become cherished memories for decades to come.

Or, if you have any questions, you can find answers on my wedding planning blog.
I’d strongly recommend booking an experienced wedding photographer for a half-day package rather than opting for a less experienced photographer or a family friend with a camera for full-day coverage.
Enjoy your planning! :)
