film wedding photography

So you love film? So do we.
We are film wedding photographers who document weddings and celebrations using a blend of documentary and editorial approaches. We're observers and artists first, capturing your day as it happens naturally, with intention and care. We work entirely on film.
Pretty epic if you ask us.

(for couples who value art)

There is something nostalgic and tactile about film wedding photography that no other medium can capture. Think back to flipping through your parents' or grandparents' photo albums. The rich colors, the soft textures, the feeling that you could step right into those moments.

Film has a way of breathing life into every frame, creating photographs that feel alive in your hands and in your memory. This isn't just how we capture weddings. As film wedding photographers, it's how we honor the people and moments that matter most.

Javi and I fell in love with film long before we fell in love with each other.
It's the thread that ties together our work, our story, and every moment we are lucky enough to capture.

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

"If you love film, if you love authenticity, and being supported in feeling your best HIRE THEM!"

From the first call, we felt connected and supported by them. As a queer couple, we were really nervous about meeting vendors who would get us and our story. They were really able to hold the tender moments and be cheerleaders for the moments to come. Dominique and Javi bring out the best in one another and in their couples.

"If you love film, if you love authenticity, and being supported in feeling your best - HIRE THEM!!!"

"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.

"We will cherish these photos forever."

From our first initial conversation with Dominique, she exuded warmth and authenticity; we instantly clicked. Throughout the process leading up to the wedding, both she and Javi were incredibly responsive, professional and flexible. It’s clear that they both take great pride and care in the work that they do, and want each client’s experience to be truly unique and special.
