Learn how to incorporate film into your
wedding photography business.
HANNAH SHEA
So many photographers want to incorporate film into their workflows these days. Including polaroids as a part of your clients’ experience is almost the new standard. But after daily messages from photographers asking, “What film camera should I buy?” it has also become increasingly obvious that while many photographers don’t know where to start when it comes to film, they really aren’t asking the most fundamental question of all. Why do you want to shoot film in the first place?
Film isn’t a fad. It’s how photography started, and will completely change you and your business for the better.
We are here to help you start shooting film on the right foot, with the right resources, for the right reasons. We’ve found that even though mastering the fundamentals of film is important, being intentional with your relationship to film, both professionally and personally, is equally as important.
“My hope for this course is not only that you feel confident with film, but that you really dig deep and discover your purpose for choosing to shoot with this format.”
Do you ever feel like…
If you’re ready to overcome all of this, then you're in the right place. We've heard all of it before from countless other photographers and have created a course that addresses each and every hurdle you may confront as you learn about film. We will provide you with a broad overview of various types of cameras, tips on buying your gear, techniques for shooting with film, personal stories of how film has changed our own business, and so much more. Whether you're simply interested in offering high quality polaroids as a fun add-on for your couples, or you're ready to dive into the world of film photography completely, this course has what you need.

About the Educator
Hannah Shea
Hannah is a photographer based in Portland, OR, known for her ability to capture raw emotion, natural beauty, authentic experiences, and compelling narratives. Her fiance, Cole Becker, is an independent filmmaker and serves as a second shooter for Hannah at weddings. Together, they've learned the ins and outs of film photography by documenting as much of their own lives as possible, before ultimately offering their finely tuned skills to clients.
At a typical shoot, Hannah will have about half-a-dozen different film cameras slung around her neck at once, while Cole prepares several more to replace them a moment later. Working with film has become second nature for both of them. For Hannah and Cole, film has always been much more than a hobby, it's a way of life. Film has become their path towards living more intentionally, and interacting more intimately with each moment along the way.
