When it comes to Lomography’s LomoChrome Purple XR 100-400 35 mm film, people seem to either love it or hate it. Personally, I LOVE it. First of all, my favorite color is purple (more specifically, lavender) so when Lomography created the LomoChrome Purple film, I bought it as quickly as I could. I think a large part of the reason people don’t like it is because they don’t understand it. They don’t get why someone would want to shoot with a film that doesn’t accurately represent reality. For me, I’m always looking for a way to make my photos more unique. What’s the point of creating the same images that everyone else has created? And the more surreal I can make my images, the more I love them. I’d rather create images that transport me to another world then create images that look exactly like the world that I see every single day. Of course, most of the time I end up shooting with regular color film when I’m hired by clients, but whenever I take a trip out of the country, I always make sure to bring at least one roll of LomoChrome Purple. And when I get home and send my film out to get processed, that’s always the roll of film I’m most excited to get back to see how the photographs turned out.

Here are my favorite LomoChrome Purple photographs from our trip to Kauai. I hope these sample photos help to give you an idea of what this film is capable of. I love all of the tones and the overall calming and unusual atmosphere that the film creates. Let me know your thoughts below!

You can pick up a roll of LomoChrome Purple on Amazon HERE.

Richmond, Virginia Wedding Photographer | Tessa & Stephen's Vintage Inspired Backyard Wedding

 

Going through Tessa & Stephen’s wedding photos just makes me tear up all over again. It was one of the hottest days I can remember experiencing in Oregon - the sun was literally burning through the top of my black oxfords to my toes. But the heat definitely didn’t take away from the sentiment and calmness that their wedding day held. Tessa & Stephen made sure their guests were comfortable (and cute for photos!) by providing their guests with colorful paper fans and umbrellas. You can tell just by looking through the photos, how kind and caring Tessa & Stephen are. The wedding took place at their Aunt & Uncle’s house with the ceremony in a beautiful grassy opening in the front yard. We took advantage of the big open field behind their house for sunset photos and I am still obsessed with how they turned out. They had some of the best (in my opinion!) food vendors that Portland has to offer, including Salt & Straw ice cream, Poplandia popcorn and Mint & Mirth bartending. It was definitely one of the most successful and beautiful at-home weddings I’ve ever been a part of. Take a look for yourself!

Congrats Tessa & Stephen!
