1. Kodak Portra 400
The Timeless Classic (Color)
Let’s get this one out the way first. There’s no way we’re making a list like this without including Kodak Portra 400. It’s an all-around staple in analog photography for good reason. The color accuracy and fine grain are always my go-to for capturing natural skin tones and true-to-life colors, making it perfect for weddings. Whether you’re shooting an outdoor ceremony under soft daylight or an indoor reception with mixed lighting, Portra 400 delivers consistently beautiful results with the right camera and settings.
It’s also one of the best choices for photographers who need to adapt quickly to changing light conditions. The wide exposure latitude gives you space to creatively overexpose for a softer, dreamier look which will look perfect for romantic wedding albums and larger prints.
