Super 8 was a film format that was really popular back in the 70s for home movies, and it’s seen a huge revival of popularity due to it’s beautiful, nostalgic quality – which is perfect for wedding videos!

More Details about Super 8mm
Super 8mm cameras do not capture sound. However, you can choose to enhance the memories of your day by pairing them with your preferred music track. I have a selection of royalty-free music – or you can choose whatever, but there are legal copyright obligations if you were to choose this.
Super 8mm is more about preserving a feeling. It has a nostalgic and intimate quality, similar to something you might discover in your grandparents’ collection. Modern wedding videography is usually produced nice and sharp, with a multitude of modern equipment – sometimes you mgiht think you’re standing on a set of a small production!
A Super 8 wedding film is shot with a single camera, and as it is shot solely on film with no backup, there is an inherent risk involved in using Super 8mm, making it riskier than digital. But that’s just part of the charm!
For weddings who have opted to have a Super 8 wedding video made, I simply strap my super 8 camera to my Batman utility belt ™ and whip it out when the opportunity arises!
Depending on the date and some other factors we’d also be available to soleyl produce a super 8 film for you! Need only ask!
