Built on film,
run on passion.
It started with film photography at festivals. There's something about loading a roll, winding it on, and waiting to see what comes back from the lab that no digital camera has ever replicated. Not better exposure, not more megapixels – the feeling of holding the moment in your hands.
Shooting weddings and parties together, we kept noticing the same thing: the photos people treasured weren't the ones on their phones. They were the blurry film shots pinned to a noticeboard, the disposable-camera prints from a hen do, the faded Polaroid still stuck to a fridge years later.
"Physical photos do something to a room that digital ones simply can't."
So we built something. Nick machined the wooden cabinet by hand – solid ash with brushed aluminium corners – and we packed it with proper photography gear: a full-frame sensor, studio flash, a dye-sublimation printer. Lab-grade kit, in a box that looks like it belongs in 1920.
At its first event, the queue for the booth overtook the bar queue within twenty minutes. Guests compared strips, passed them to people they'd just met, tucked them into jacket pockets like something worth keeping. That's when we knew.
unimoments now covers events across Devon and the South West. Every booking still gets the same care – a bespoke print design, a host who genuinely gives a damn, and photos that'll still be on fridges five years from now.
