The story
This San Francisco elopement moved from the Botanical Garden to the city and Ocean Beach, with film and digital photographs carrying the same story through very different light.
Chinatown · San Francisco Botanical Garden · Ocean Beach
The neighborhoods did different jobs.
Chinatown held the social beginning, the Botanical Garden slowed the pace, and Ocean Beach opened the story into wind and sunset. The route created variety without asking the photographs to manufacture it.
Film changed the texture, not the truth of the day. The full gallery still feels like one photographer saw it.

Film and digital stayed in conversation.
Film brought grain, softness, and a different response to color. Digital protected speed, low light, and continuity. Editing kept both mediums connected to the actual atmosphere.
Why this story matters
Changing light became part of the narrative.
Indoor color, garden shade, and an exposed coast each asked for a different photographic response. The finished story shows that range without looking like three unrelated sessions.
