10 Hours of coverage
Ten hours holds the full shape of a wedding day. From the quiet of getting ready to the last moments of the reception, and everything in between that no one planned for. On Super 8, those unscripted moments carry a particular weight. The grain slows things down just enough to make them feel permanent. What gets captured is not just what happened, but what it felt like to be there.
1 Cinematographer
This is a personal collection, which means I will be there. One artistic vision guiding the entire day, every frame a deliberate choice made in the moment. There is a coherence that comes from that, a film that feels like it was truly seen rather than simply covered. A single perspective present from the first hour to the last gives the finished film something that is difficult to manufacture. It feels specific to your day because it was made that way.
Professionally Developed and Scanned
After your wedding the rolls are sent to a professional lab where they are developed and scanned with the care the format deserves. What comes back from the lab already looks like a memory before a single edit has been made. The scan preserves everything, the grain, the color, the imperfections that make Super 8 what it is. Nothing is lost in translation.
The Wedding Teaser
The teaser is delivered within ten days of your wedding and is the first thing you will have to hold onto. At one minute it is complete in itself, not a preview, not a summary, a short film shaped around a single feeling. It is cut entirely from Super 8 footage and edited to live on its own. The grain, the warmth, the way the light falls, all of it distilled into something immediate. Most couples find themselves returning to it more than anything else in the weeks after the wedding.
The Highlight Film
At three to four minutes the highlight film has room to breathe. The morning, the ceremony, the reception at its fullest, all of it rendered in Super 8 grain and warmth. Every frame was earned, chosen from a finite roll of film with no room for anything that did not belong. The edit is built around feeling, not chronology, and the format does something to the emotional weight of the film. It is the kind of film that rewards being watched more than once, and tends to feel, from the very first frame, like something worth keeping forever.
Wedding Film Gallery
Your films are delivered through a private, beautifully presented online gallery. It is easy to revisit on any device and simple to share with the people who were there and the ones who wish they had been. Every film lives in one place, organized and ready whenever you want to return to it. The gallery is yours to keep.
Add On: Raw Super 8 Footage $750
Every roll developed, scanned, and delivered to you digitally, uncut. This is the full archive of the day, every frame that made it onto film before any editing decisions were made. There is something valuable about having all of it, the quiet moments between the big ones, the light on a detail no one else noticed, the things that did not make the edit but still happened. For couples who want to hold onto everything, this is how you do it. It is the most complete record of your wedding day that exists.
