A 3-5 minute film, on film, that’s been professionally developed and scanned in 2K, carefully color-corrected, and set to music.

An teaser film— a short and sweet tribute to your wedding day!

Always shot on real film.

Our films are shot on real vintage super 8 movie cameras and Kodak film, professionally developed and scanned by a top tier lab that specializes in super 8. Each roll of film captures about 3.5 minutes of footage, which inspires us to slow down and focus on quality over quantity. Each film is carefully color corrected, edited, and set to music. Our vintage cameras do not record sound but you can hear the film spinning as we record, which we hope you come to love as much as we do.

 FAQs

  • Your film will be color corrected, edited down to 3-5 minutes, set to music, and delivered through Vimeo for you to share with friends and family and download.

    We also deliver your full uncut film that is color corrected but uncut and without music. This is delivered through Vimeo as well.

    Finally, the film reel with the physical processed film is shipped to you for achival pruposed.

  • Our approach with super 8 is much more of a documentary approach than most digital filmmakers. Most of the time, if not all of the time, we will not direct moments or capture anything that isn’t 100% candid. With this in mind we are constantly anticipating moments big and small to capture.

  • We try to capture all of the big things, such as key ceremony moments, special dances, cake cutting, etc. and sprinkle in smaller moment, such as family reactions, the anticipation before the ceremony, and congratulatory hugs.

    Unlike digital, because we use film and each roll of film only capture 2-3 minutes, we are not able to leave our camera running for the full ceremony or capture hours of footage. This means we are extra attentive and intentional.

    For a full wedding day we typically shoot 6-8 rolls of film or 12-20 minutes of footage.

  • We love to listen to couple’s playlists or favorite songs to get an idea of their taste. However, to avoid a lawsuit or expensive licensing we do have to use royalty-free music. This means that we use a special platform to source music.

    You are always welcome to remove the sound from your film and replace it with your favorite song via Instagram when sharing it to social media. If you need help with this we are happy to help!

  • Yes! Alex films all of our super 8 films when we are hired for both photo and super 8. He has shot many of the films you may see on my website and Instagram.

  • Either Alex or myself. On wedding days where we are hired for both photo and super 8 Alex will work along side me shooting super 8. We may both film a few weddings each year solo, as well. Our films have always been a collaborative effort and our shooting style is identical.
