Even though I love shooting digital, I come from film, chemistry, fiber paper and hands in the fixer. My very, very first camera was my dad's old Gaf 136 XF. It took Magicubes for flash and used 126 film cartridges. I still have the brown and black vintage camera. It's totally beat up, full of personality and history. And there is still a cartridge of

Continuing on with Annemarie and Brian's wedding day coverage, we really don't want to write a lot down because the images do speak for themselves.
