35mm film photographer
Real grain, real light, real moments.
I'm Delani McKee, a film and digital photographer based in Charlotte, North Carolina and available across Colorado. I've loved shooting 35mm for years — the grain, the color, and the way film slows a moment down.
Every session mixes 35mm film with digital, so you get timeless film frames and a full, dependable digital gallery. Couples, engagement and portrait sessions are $400 per shoot; weddings, elopements and travel are custom quoted.

Planning
Why couples choose film
Film isn't a filter — it's a different way of seeing. What couples tell me they love:
Texture
natural grain that digital filters can't fake
Color
warm, soft skin tones and gentle highlights
Black & white
classic, timeless frames
Presence
a slower pace that keeps sessions relaxed
Both formats
digital coverage alongside every roll
Heirloom feel
photos that look good for decades
Want mostly film, mostly digital, or an even mix? Tell me in your inquiry and we'll plan around it.

Frequently asked
Do you shoot only on film?
No — I shoot a mix of 35mm film and digital in every session, so you get film's character along with a full digital gallery.
Why choose a film photographer?
Film has natural grain, soft highlights and warm color that's hard to recreate digitally. Many couples also find film sessions calmer, because the pace is slower and more intentional.
How much does a film photography session cost?
Couples, engagement and portrait sessions are $400 per shoot, including both film and digital. Weddings, elopements and travel sessions are custom quoted.
Do you photograph weddings on film?
Yes. I photograph weddings and elopements on 35mm film and digital, in Charlotte, across Colorado and at destinations.
Where are you based?
I'm based in Charlotte, North Carolina and available across Colorado — Boulder, Denver, Fort Collins and Vail — and I travel worldwide.
