Samuel H. Boardman State Park Elopement
Nicole and Sam eloped on the Oregon Coast a few weeks ago, and it was such a beautiful wedding day. From their first look to their ceremony and first dance at Secret Beach, it was one of the most beautiful elopement days I’ve been a part of. Nicole and Sam were so easygoing and full of emotion; I’m so happy they scheduled 4 hours and decided to focus on coastal views as we had more time for authentic imagery and moments. They had originally wanted to include Jedediah Smith Redwoods but, after driving there themselves, decided against it, as it’s SUCH a massive trip between the two. My favorite part of their day was how emotional their first look was and how fun their beer cheers were, with so many champagne pops it felt so fun and real for them.
I’m a Super 8mm lover. There is nothing like those flickering frames and overscan vibes. I own a Braun Nizo that I've used for personal and wedding work. But man, $200 per roll is tough. So to say I've been waiting for something like the Fuji Instax Mini Evo Cinema is an understatement. I’ll be comparing the mini Instax Mimi cinema, the camp snap, and my traditional Braun Nizo. Disclaimer: nothing is beating the original, but we are using it for comparison. I will be updating this blog as I use the camera more, but I wanted to get my initial impressions up and out to you.
