You want to see the motion, feeling, and movement of the day, but basic wedding films feel outdated and uninspiring. And honestly, one of the best kept secrets in weddings is that you don’t have to settle — your wedding film can feel like something you’ve never seen before.
Let me show you.

INTRODUCING
a new wedding film experience
This isn’t about stiff poses or over-produced video. Super 8 is artful, cinematic, and completely one of a kind — the kind of storytelling that feels raw, elevated, and never been seen before. It captures movement and emotion in a way that’s textured, immersive, and undeniably cool.
It’s for the couple who wants more than a predictable highlight reel. You want something distinctive. Something that feels alive. A film that doesn’t look like everyone else’s — but feels entirely like you.

Ready to make some magic?
are we the right fit?
we're an amazing match,
if you ...
dream of a wedding film that feels like art, instead of a basic highlight reel
value creativity and evergy when it comes to documenting your memories
want one-of-a-kind film because ai is boring and could never
no hard feelings, this might not be for you if you...
prefer slow, drawn out wedding films that were made in the 90s
require perfection over authenticity
want a quick, transactional experience instead of a collaborative one.

Questions? Answers
Completely — most people feel that way, and the experience is designed to help you relax, move naturally, and feel confident so your film never feel forced or uncomfortable.
Do you include digital videography
No. And Yes. Your main wedding film is shot on vintage Super 8 film, however, I do offer add-on options to record the ceremony and speeches on digital.
How long does it take to receive our wedding film
Processing film takes about 4-6 weeks, and editing can take up to 6 weeks, so I guarantee a film turnaround time of 12 weeks. Rush order is available.
do we get a say in the music?
Yes! I learn about your music preferences before editing to make sure the songs reflect your personal taste.
