The Timeless Magic of Film Photography – Our New Collaboration with Chantal Convertini

At Kuenzli Photography, we’ve always been passionate about telling stories through imagery that feels alive, personal, and unforgettable. Today, we’re thrilled to share an exciting new chapter: a collaboration that will bring the timeless allure of analog film to our wedding photography experience.

We are joining forces with Swiss photographer Chantal Convertini (aka Paeulini), a true artist who has mastered the craft of film photography and the art of capturing raw intimacy. Together, we are offering our couples a unique wedding experience — one where the elegance of analog film meets the energy and precision of our digital wedding coverage.

Why Film Photography Is Different

In an era where digital dominates, analog film offers something profoundly unique. Film captures light differently. It doesn’t just record a moment — it renders it with depth, softness, and an almost tactile quality that digital cannot replicate.

  • Texture & Grain – Film’s organic grain adds character and dimension, turning each photograph into an artwork.

  • Colors & Tones – Film interprets colors in a nuanced way: skin tones appear warmer, highlights bloom with softness, and shadows feel rich and cinematic.

  • The Unrepeatable Factor – Unlike digital, film images carry an inherent uniqueness. Every frame is carefully chosen, intentional, and rare.

The result? Your wedding memories are transformed into photographs that feel timeless, nostalgic, and romantic — like pages from a vintage fashion editorial.

Chantal’s Artistic Eye

While Chantal is not a traditional wedding photographer, this is precisely her strength. She approaches weddings with the heart of an artist, focusing not on posed perfection but on emotional truth, intimacy, and atmosphere. Her film images are tender, honest, and quietly powerful.

Whether it’s the quiet anticipation of “getting ready,” the sacred intimacy of the ceremony, or the dreamy moments of your couple shoot — Chantal’s analog photography adds another layer of storytelling to your day. Her ability to naturally direct and create comfort allows her subjects to feel at ease, resulting in photographs that are both effortless and extraordinary.

How It Works for Your Wedding

When you book Kuenzli Photography for your wedding, you’ll already have the confidence of a professional team capturing every moment — from the fashionable details to the deep emotions. With Chantal as part of your team, you gain an additional layer of artistry:

  • Full Coverage + Film Highlights: While the Kuenzli team ensures every detail and moment is covered digitally, Chantal captures a carefully curated selection of highlights on film.

  • A Dual Perspective: You receive both the crisp precision of digital and the soulful nostalgia of analog.

  • Art Pieces for a Lifetime: Each roll of film is hand-developed, scanned, and delivered with care. The result is not hundreds of extra photos, but a refined selection of photos, imbued with atmosphere and intimacy.

Couples who book our film photography option can expect:

  • A curated series of analog photographs from key moments of the day.

  • High-resolution digital scans of each frame, beautifully processed while preserving the authentic film look.

  • The option to order fine art prints directly from the negatives — turning your wedding into gallery-worthy keepsakes.

  • A visual experience that feels both modern and timeless, like stepping into a dream.

Why Choose Film for Your Wedding?

Film photography is not about having “more pictures.” It’s about creating something rarer, something more artistic. It’s about elevating your wedding story beyond the ordinary, into the realm of editorial beauty and emotional depth.

Imagine holding your wedding album years from now: digital photos keep memories alive, but the film images will breathe with life — warm skin tones, soft grain, a tangible reminder of love frozen in time.

This is the essence of why the world’s most iconic fashion houses, magazines, and artists still turn to film: it has a soul. And now, so can your wedding photographs.

A Dream-Team for Your Day

With Kuenzli Photography and Chantal Convertini, you are not only booking photographers. You are booking a vision, a collaboration that merges professional coverage with fine art intimacy. We bring the energy, the eye, and the fashion-forward edge. Chantal brings the raw, dreamy quality of film. Together, we create a wedding story that is editorial, emotional, and unforgettable.

If you’ve ever dreamed of your wedding feeling like a feature in Vogue, with images that could live both in your family album and on the walls of a gallery — this is the moment to say yes.
