Introducing Super 8 Wedding Videos – A Nostalgic Touch for Your Wedding

There’s something so nostalgic about old film—the soft grain, dreamy light leaks, and warm, cinematic feel that instantly transports you to another era. I’ve always been drawn to that look, so it sent me down a rabbit hole of wanting to capture those same emotions for my own wedding this past year.

So, I went on a hunt to find a Super 8 camera—what started as a, what I thought, simple idea quickly turned into a full-on journey of learning about Super 8. I found myself diving deep into the history of filmmaking, learning how this vintage format became a beloved way to document life’s most meaningful moments back in the ‘60s and ‘70s. But it didn’t stop there—figuring out how to actually shoot on film, finding out who still develops Super 8 today (spoiler: not alot haha), and understanding the delicate process of bringing these nostalgic clips to life has been a learning curve, to say the least.

It’s been such a creative and eye-opening experience, and the more I’ve learned, the more I’ve fallen in love with the raw, romantic beauty of Super 8. Now, I’m beyond excited to offer this as a service for couples who want their wedding day captured in a way that feels both vintage and effortlessly timeless.

While the film itself has a rich history, it’s also a bit of a rare art form now. Finding a lab that still develops this film is not always easy, and the process of developing and editing the footage is a labor of love that adds to the timeless, one-of-a-kind nature of the final product.

In today’s world of instant digital photography, there’s something deeply authentic and emotional about returning to this analog format. Super 8 is imperfect in all the right ways—there’s the warmth, the slight grain, and the beautiful unpredictability of light leaks that can only be found on film. The result is a cinematic, vintage feel that evokes emotion, creating a wedding video that feels timeless.

Why is Super 8 so popular right now?
Super 8 is making a comeback because it offers a unique, nostalgic charm that digital filters and overlays just can’t replicate. The soft grain, warm light leaks, and vintage cinematic feel give it an authenticity that’s hard to match. While filters and overlays can try to mimic that look, there’s something magical about the real, analog process of shooting on film. The unpredictability and imperfections of Super 8 add a personal, timeless touch that feels more genuine and emotional, making it the perfect medium for couples who want something truly special and unique for their wedding videos.

How much footage is on each roll? 

One roll of Super 8 film typically holds about 2 to 3 minutes of footage, depending on the film speed (usually 18 frames per second). This means you’ll need to plan carefully when shooting, as each roll captures a limited amount of time. It’s part of what makes Super 8 filming so unique—there’s a certain intentionality and artistry in every shot!

Does it have sound? 

Super 8 films are silent and rely on the visuals alone to tell the story. That adds to the charm and nostalgic feel of the medium!

Does film work in all lighting?

Super 8 film works best in bright, well-lit conditions, like daylight, where it captures rich, natural colors and a dreamy vintage look. In low light or nighttime, it can struggle with exposure, leading to grainier footage and less vibrant colors. To get the best results in dim environments, additional lighting is often needed - so I keep this in mind when booking and choosing your film roll.
