(for couples who value art)

Film wedding photography has a special something about it. Think back to your childhood and when you’d flip through your parents & grandparents’ photo albums. The rich tones, radiant colors, and grain create images with timeless beauty and nostalgia. Analog film breathes life and soul into photographs through its organic qualities. Except now you’d have a professional photographer behind the camera who knows their shit! 

Y’all, let’s just say we know our stuff when it comes to film cameras. While we offer digital photography as well, our passion remains deeply rooted in film, embracing its distinctive look and feel behind every frame. We love celebrating the craft of photography in all its forms - but film holds a special place in our hearts.

it's like 1965,
except it's not.

"the happiness and love we felt on our wedding day radiates from the photos."

Dominique and Javi are a photography dream team. They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Multiple wedding guests commented how unobtrusive and inconspicuous they were on the wedding day, yet they captured photos of every special moment. I would highly recommend Castillo Holliday Photo + Film.

"From our first conversation, we knew we made the right choice"

We could not be more thrilled with our decision to hire Dominique to document our big day.  She was an absolute joy to work with from the very beginning, and her enthusiasm for her craft comes through in the work she did.
