Feeling nostalgic, I went through my film gear and decided to try using one of my grandfather’s cameras - a Yashica J and a Nikon camera that a friend gave me (and also picked up another set of chunky Nikon film cameras that I really like and am happy that can use my old Nikon lenses with them which has been sitting collecting dust with the rest of my camera collection since I’ve moved on to Sony mirrorless).

Problem was I didn’t know if any of these cameras worked so I brought them along to a few weddings and got them developed at a very local to me lab, but didn’t get them scanned or printed. And then things got busy and I didn’t pick some of the film up until recently and to my happy surprise, the cameras work! And I got a couple of them scanned...

So, here’s one set of scans from a very fun wedding last month at Pacheco Ranch Winery in Novato.
