Couples who love to visit museums when they travel, who make their own art, who frequent the theater, or who just love a beautiful sunset will swoon over the Laguna Gloria. 

Don’t let these untruths hold you back from the beauty of film. Here are three of the top misconceptions about film photography.

Film has that rich, artistic, textured look—like your love story belongs in a gallery. It’s the difference between a cute pic for the ‘gram and a soulful image you want to blow up 5x10 and hang over your fireplace. It fits in with your home. It is part of the vibe.

If you’re dreaming of a venue that feels like stepping into a painting—rich with history, glowing with light, layered in vintage details—Woodbine Mansion is your spot. It’s not just a venue. It’s an experience. It’s a vibe. It’s a full-on aesthetic love letter to couples who value art, architecture, and legacy.

If you’re planning a wedding with a vintage aesthetic—think timeless romance, nostalgic details, and all the old Hollywood charm—look no further. I’m an Austin, Texas wedding photographer who shoots exclusively on film and Super 8 video to tell your love story in the most artful, cinematic way.

When Brennan and Neallie suggested their house as the setting for a couples photoshoot, I knew immediately it was going to be something special.
