Lauren Young

Romantic Film Wedding Photography Across Italy


Editorial Film Wedding Photography in Italy

For couples who want their Italian wedding to feel like a memory from another era.

There is something about film photography that digital can never quite recreate.

The softness of the light. The imperfect little moments. The grain, the colour, the feeling that you are looking back at a memory rather than just a photograph.

Lauren Young creates timeless wedding imagery using both editorial photography and genuine analogue film photography, capturing your wedding in Italy with an artistic, romantic, and deeply human approach.

For couples who dream of images that feel like they belong in the pages of an old European magazine, Lauren brings a calm eye, thoughtful storytelling, and a love for the beautifully unscripted moments.

The Fit

The Magic of Real Film Photography

In a world where thousands of digital photos can be taken in a single day, film invites us to slow down.

Every frame matters.

Shot using vintage analogue cameras, film photography requires patience, artistry, and an understanding of natural light. Each roll is carefully developed, revealing colours, textures, and tones that have made film a favourite amongst luxury editorial photographers.

The result is a gallery that feels nostalgic, cinematic, and completely unique to you.

There is no filter that can truly replicate it.

A Note From Elisa

As someone who planned my own wedding in Italy from Australia, I know how important it is to find suppliers you genuinely trust.

Lauren was part of our own wedding journey and captured some of the most special moments from our day.

What I love most about her work is that it never feels forced. The images have a softness and honesty that perfectly suits an Italian wedding. They feel like memories you can hold.
