I've been wanting to shoot a full wedding with my Holga for a long time so I finally did it! Rachel is an awesome photographer and I met her last November in Hawaii. They're such a cool couple! The location for the wedding was just perfect!For those of you who don't know what a Holga is, it's an inexpensive film toy camera with a plastic lens. If you are going to a wedding as a guest soon, I would recommend trying the Holga, I think it can make a fun gift for the bride and groom :) Seriously, this wedding was a total blast! Congratulations again guys and have fun in Brazil! Pin It Now!

Wow! A whole wedding with a toy. Awesome. So how many rolls did you go through at 12 photos a roll. And did your hand get tired from always twisting to advance the film?
Fun stuff.
I don't remember exactly how many rolls I shot but it was probably about 10 rolls. I wish I could have post all the images but it would have been a very long post. And I'm a bass player, so my hands can handle advancing the film with no problem :)
Fantastic! I don't know what else to say? I love this stuff! Who shot the Super8? This couple looks amazing! I wish more brides were as adventurous and artistic as this. It's a good thing the whole wedding was in the day though. Though I'm sure you could pull of some interesting off camera flash stuff with the hula it is pretty limited in low light shooting at, what is it? f/8... f/11? Anyways, Good stuff! Did you charge for this?

I LOVE Holga's! At my wedding we had a holga at every table for the guests to take pictures with and i loved how they all turned out- i have a wedding blog- AngelaMuirBride.blogspot.com, im going to put these photos up they are so cool!
Great job! I totally love the composition and the tone of the photos
Despite its limits, Holga is a great tool in the hands of a capable photographer, keep it up!
Gutsy. Beautiful. Awesome.
Leo - did you use a flash on this? Amazing work! What film did you use, pushed at all? SUPERB!
Thanks guys!
Chris - I did mount a flash on some of the images. I did not push the film at all.
