Super 8mm film captures how a wedding feels, not just how it looks.

We also offer Super 8mm video footage along with digital and analog photography of your wedding. When you look back on your wedding day, you want to remember how it felt. The nervous excitement before the ceremony. The warmth of a parent’s hug. The blur of laughter on the dance floor.

Super 8 video isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence. The way film captures movement and grain, soft focus, and true to life colors, add an emotional depth that digital formats simply can’t replicate. For couples who value authenticity, nostalgia, and artistry, Super 8mm wedding film offers something timeless.

What Is Super 8mm Film?

Super 8mm is a motion picture film format originally introduced in the 1960s. It was designed for home movies, which is exactly why it feels so personal today. Unlike modern digital video, Super 8 captures light in an imperfect, organic way—producing subtle color shifts, gentle motion blur, and visible grain.

The emotional storytelling that we are able to capture with Super 8mm has the ability to transform fleeting moments into something that feels handcrafted and emotional. It’s more like a memory rather than a simple recording. It recalls family home movies, old love stories, and memories passed down through generations.

I grew up shooting film as a teenager in the 90’s and we have been shooting film at weddings for the last 15 years. Trust us, we aren't doing this because it’s trendy. For us, Super 8 and film help preserve your wedding memories as heirlooms, not content.

While digital video excels at clarity and precision. Super 8 excels at emotion. I use it intentionally for moments where feeling matters more than detail, embraces, laughter, motion, quiet in-between moments. It fills the emotional gaps that technical perfection sometimes misses. It is the perfect medium to shoot alongside photography. 

Who Is Super 8mm Wedding Film For?

Super 8mm wedding coverage is perfect for couples who:

    •    Value storytelling over trends

    •    Love analog textures and film aesthetics

    •    Want wedding videos that feel emotional and personal

    •    Appreciate art, nostalgia, and intentional imperfection

 If you’re drawn to film photography, vinyl records, or handmade objects, Super 8mm likely resonates with you for the same reasons.

My Approach to Shooting Super 8mm at Weddings

I shoot Super 8mm selectively and intentionally. Because film is finite, every frame matters. I’m constantly watching for moments that feel emotionally honest, glances, movement, light, connection.

Super 8 slows me down. It encourages presence. And that mindfulness carries into every part of my wedding coverage.

At the end of the day, wedding films aren’t about resolution or specs—they’re about memory. Super 8mm film helps preserve weddings the way they’re felt in the heart, not just seen through a lens.

When combined with professional analog wedding photo coverage, Super 8mm creates a wedding film that’s rich, emotional, and timeless, something you’ll return to not just to watch, but to feel.
