Logan was asking for film camera recommendations for his and Megan’s elopement trip to France, and I was happy to offer my trusty Nikon F3. I sent it along with a mixed bag of film, a quick guide to the basics, some advice on which film to use where, and a note to call me if they needed anything.

The photos turned out great. They took the Nikon everywhere, though there was apparently some discussion in France about what should and shouldn’t go through the X-ray. It was wonderful to feel connected to their trip and see what they brought home.
