Christian and Erica

We have long admired Christian & Erica’s work as well as their love for travel and awesome businesses UKFILMLAB & Wedding Photography.  Since becoming virtual friends and starting TMUT we were very excited to arrange meeting up in person! They were also instrumental in my rediscovery of film which you can read all about here

Meeting at the lab was like Christmas for us, a chance to see where the magic happens! Christian kindly showed us through the processes of turning 35mm and 120 film in to magic as well as the sexy Fuji developers and scanners. What astounded us more than anything was their business ethic, their quality and customer service values which in our opinion are unsurpassed. We felt totally at home as it’s how we like to run our business too.

With our film camera’s in tow ( Contax G2, Mamiya 645protl with Portra + Tri-x) we headed out on a  photo walk, chatted about weddings, business, film, travel, music and life. We very quickly realised that we had a great deal in common with Christian & Erica. One of our main talking points was series and films that are shot on film, mainly Breaking Bad our favourite show!

We headed to Stanage Edge a beautiful natural ridge in the Peak District, we were a little unprepared for the fact it was covered in snow! We took a slow walk in the grey light up to the top snapping the occasional falling sheep or glimpse of sunlight.

On our walk down the sky really opened up and bathed us in sunlight, talks turned to the beautiful light in different places we had all visited around the world, I think we decided Canada and Portugal were our favourite places!

We had a lovely dinner and came outside to the most gorgeous sunset, the orange light being reflected by the snow was a perfect end to a perfect day.
