Engagement Photos You'll Actually Want to Frame: Film Sessions in ATX
Is it just me, or is it weirdly hard to want to hang up personal photos in your home? Like yes, I love my people. Yes, I’m obsessed with my partner. But when it comes to decorating, I always find myself leaning toward art—paintings I’ve thrifted, prints I’ve collected, tapestries I picked up on travels—over the typical framed couples photo.
And maybe it’s because I’m a photographer (or maybe that’s exactly why), but there’s something about digital or iPhone photos that just… don’t quite blend into the aesthetic. They feel like memories, yes, but not like art.
That’s where film photography changes everything.
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.
Here’s why film for your engagement session just makes sense:
Film grain adds that dreamy, tactile feeling. It’s not perfectly polished—it’s better. It feels real.
The colors are warm, soft, and nostalgic—like a memory you’ve somehow already lived.
Black & white film? Gorgeous. And if you want to go full art collector mode, these can even be printed by hand in a darkroom. Yes, you can own a one-of-a-kind print of you two, made with actual chemistry and love.
Every image feels like a vintage piece—like it belongs in your favorite moody coffee shop or that little gallery on South Congress you adore.
This is about more than save-the-date material or Instagram-worthy posts (though don’t worry, you’ll have plenty of those too). It’s about making something timeless. Something that feels like you and looks like art.
So if you’re in Austin, planning your engagement, and want photos that blend right in with your art wall and make your heart skip a beat every time you walk past them...
