Some people remember the Leica M240 as heavy, clunky, and a little sluggish. I remember it as the only camera I brought to photograph an entire château wedding in France—one body, two lenses (24 and 50), no backup, no safety net, and a whole lot of stubbornly optimistic Leica energy. In this video I take you behind the scenes of that 2017 day: a small, intimate wedding (about 35 guests), a relaxed pace, and rooms full of soft light that made it feel like I’d been handed everything an artist could ask for. I do a quick refresher on what the M240 brought to the table in 2012—24MP full-frame CMOS, live view with 10x magnification and focus peaking, weather sealing, and that “built like a tank” feel—then I walk through the gallery and my thought process as I swapped between the 24 for atmosphere and the 50 for tighter moments. I delivered 720 images to the couple (I share my best 300 here), and even though the RAW files are long gone thanks to a corrupted external drive, this still stands as one of the strongest wedding galleries of my career. The big takeaway: limits can absolutely fuel creativity—flakes and all.
