We believe your wedding film should feel real, honest, and full of life, not fake, filtered, or forgotten.
​
We don’t guess. We don’t rely on auto settings. And we certainly don’t deliver something dull, underexposed, or lifeless and call it “vintage.”
​
We shoot on real Kodak Super 8 film using fully restored vintage cameras that we personally maintain. Every shot is manually focused and hand-metered — we carefully measure the light for each moment to make sure your footage is properly exposed. Not too dark. Not washed out. Just right.
​
We select the right film stock for every lighting condition — from bright outdoor ceremonies to intimate candlelit receptions — so your skin tones look rich, natural, and full of warmth. Because film should feel vibrant and alive, not cold or faded.
​
And when it comes to movement, we ensure it plays back exactly how the day felt. That means shooting at the correct frame rate and working with the best lab that scans it properly. If that part’s done wrong, you get footage that feels sped up and disconnected — like your memories are on fast-forward. We take the time to get it right.
​
Because there’s a big difference between offering film, and understanding how to use it well.
Whether you’re booking full coverage or one of our camera rentals, we’re here to do it the right way — with care, intention, and a genuine respect for the craft.
​
Your wedding is one of the most meaningful days of your life. It deserves more than just a trendy effect. It deserves the real thing.

Frequently Asked Questions...
Q: What is a Super 8 wedding film?

Q: How long does it take to receive the final Super 8 wedding film?

While turnaround times are quoted at 60 - 90 days for Full Highlights there is the potential that turnaround times could vary due to Wedding Season volume and life events. This time frame is a projection based also on the volume of work our sister company askem studios handles as well. The time shown above is not a guarantee because it may vary. As soon as a product is ready for delivery, it will be delivered. But we will absolutely make sure we are comunicating realistic and solid timeframes with you throughout the process of your film.

A: Yes, we have great examples of how we have married Super 8 footage with digital footage in other wedding videos to create a unique blend of old and new. That is a great way to showcase both the vintage look of Super 8 film and the crisp, modern look of digital video.
