Our First trip to France, on Film

Luke had picked up a 35 mm film camera as a special treat for our honeymoon along with black and white film, for all the feels of course, and just a couple days into our trip, the back of the camera broke - and we thought for sure it was all exposed, lost, and our digital clips would be doing all the storytelling.
