How far in advance should we book Super 8?

The earlier the better, we only take a limited number of film dates each season. If your date is close, still reach out, sometimes we can make it work.

What's the difference between Super 8 and a digital wedding video?

Digital is crisp, sharp and modern. Super 8 is warm, grainy and nostalgic, more like a memory than a recording. Many couples run both to get the best of each.

What is a Super 8 Wedding Film?

Super 8 is an old-school film format originally used for home movies in the 60s and 70s. It’s shot on real film stock using vintage cameras.

We do not use any digital filters or presets, just beautiful old school footage. Your final film feels super warm, personal, analog and unique!

Each roll is developed, scanned & hand-edited into a short highlight film. There’s no audio, just music.

Why Choose Super 8 for Your Wedding?

It feels like a memory: The imperfections, the texture, the pace, it all comes together to create something real, and unpolished!
It stands the test of time: Film doesn’t age like digital trends. It’s classic. Lasts forever.
It pairs perfectly with digital: Add Super 8 as an overlay to your full wedding gallery or video for variety.
It’s deeply nostalgic: Whether you grew up watching old home movies or just love the retro aesthetic, it hits different.
