Dostal Digital · Photo + Film · Est. 2017
Wedding photographs + films made to bring you back—not only to how it looked, but to the way the room sounded, the people laughed, and your favorite person held your hand.
Open the journal ↓THE HEART OF IT
I want your photographs and films to bring you all the way back—the nervous breath, the squeeze of a hand, the room erupting, the people you love exactly as they were in that moment.
Maybe that is why I still love film so much. I grew up with a Polaroid and 35mm camera in my hands, always asking for one more roll.
THE INSTANT ARCHIVE · POLAROIDS
One-of-one photographs you can hold before the flowers have even wilted.

The complete weekend

05 · ENGAGEMENT SESSIONS
Your engagement session is not a practice test for wedding photos. It is a chance to slow down, get comfortable in front of the camera, and document this chapter exactly as it feels right now. Bring the outfits, the champagne, the dog, the old truck, the picnic blanket—whatever feels like you. Outfit changes are never limited; if time allows, wear as many looks as you want.
The Keepsake Session · Digital + Polaroid
A relaxed engagement experience with your full digital story plus imperfect little instant-film keepsakes you can actually hold.
The Film Session · Digital + Polaroid + 35mm
More room to wander and layer your story across digital photographs, instant keepsakes, and the beautiful unpredictability of a real roll of 35mm.
The Story Session · Digital + Polaroid + 35mm + Motion
The full engagement story—digital photographs, tangible film, instant keepsakes, and a cinematic Save the Date Film that lets this season move, breathe, and live beyond a still frame.

35MM · THE FILM ARCHIVE
Real 35mm is slower, imperfect and beautifully unpredictable. Grain shifts. Colors wander. A frame may flare at the edge. That is the point. These are not digital photographs dressed up to look old—they are physical negatives exposed one moment at a time.

21AUTHENTIC SUPER 8 · MEMORY IN MOTION
There is a different kind of magic in actual film moving through a camera: the flicker, the softness, the uneven exposure, the tiny skips and burns. I shoot authentic Super 8 so pieces of your wedding can live like an old family home movie—not perfectly polished, but unmistakably alive.

One roll, approximately three minutes of authentic Super 8 footage, blended into your film or delivered as a standalone keepsake.
Two rolls, approximately six minutes, captured throughout the day and blended into your film or shaped into its own story.

However you choose to pay, my goal is simple: make preserving your memories feel exciting, clear, and as stress-free as possible.

Your signed agreement + 25% non-refundable retainer make it official. Dates are first-come, first-served and cannot be held without both.
Absolutely. Collections are a starting point. The Build Your Own Story section lets you explore coverage and keepsakes, and your official proposal can be tailored around your celebration.
No. 35mm, Polaroids and Super 8 can be added later when availability allows. If you already know you love film, building it in from the beginning gives us the most intentional plan.
Wedding days move. We plan with breathing room, and booked couples receive The Wedding Vault—including an interactive timeline builder—to make changes easier as the day evolves.
