Super 8 Filmmaking | A Touch of Nostalgia You’ll Treasure Forever
There’s something about the way old home videos feel—the soft grain, the flicker of light, the imperfect beauty that instantly transports you back in time. That’s the magic of Super 8 film. It doesn’t just document your day, it makes it feel timeless, like you’re watching a memory unfold in real life.
Whether you’re planning your wedding, capturing your growing family, or simply someone who loves the nostalgia of days gone by, Super 8 offers a one-of-a-kind way to preserve your story.
Why Super 8?
Super 8 isn’t polished or staged. It’s warm, raw, and delightfully imperfect—the same way life feels in your favorite memories. It’s the way your grandparents’ wedding films might look, or the home videos your parents filmed when you were little. Every clip feels like a window into another time, even when you just lived it yesterday. And here’s an important detail: Super 8 doesn’t record sound. It’s purely motion picture, the looks, the gestures, the energy of the moment frozen in a way that feels timeless. Think of it as a moving photograph, capturing emotion without needing words.
How Can I Book Super 8?
You have options, and that’s what makes it so special.
As a Stand-Alone Service – Book Super 8 on its own if you love the vintage look and want your entire story told this way.
As an Add-On – Pair it with your wedding’s 4K digital film for the best of both worlds—modern, cinematic storytelling with a sprinkle of old-school nostalgia.
And here’s the best part: Our top-tier package includes one roll of Super 8 film at no extra cost. Want more? Additional rolls are heavily discounted so you can keep the magic rolling without stretching your budget.
What Does a Roll of Super 8 Capture?
Each roll is about three minutes of footage, and I recommend having 2-3 rolls to truly capture every sentimental moment. Think of it as little love letters throughout your day:
The moment your dad sees you in your dress for the first time
Your flower girl twirling at the end of the aisle
The laughter during toasts and clinking of glasses
You and your love sneaking away for a golden-hour kiss
Because Super 8 is silent, it draws you deeper into the visuals. The way your hands intertwined, the breeze catching your veil, the joy spilling across your face. These tiny, unscripted details take center stage.
Who is Super 8 For?
Couples who want their wedding film to feel cinematic, nostalgic, and truly timeless.
Families who want to capture life in all its beautiful chaos—the laughter, the tears, the in-between moments.
Anyone with a love of nostalgia who believes memories should feel as magical to watch back as they were to live.
Cost + Turnaround Time
Each roll (3 minutes) of film + development: just under $100
Film is developed through The Negative Space in Colorado (shoutout to Nikki! @preservedfilm)
Turnaround Time: Once the film is scanned and developed (typically 4–6 weeks), I’ll begin editing + color grading immediately. You’ll receive your finished Super 8 footage as soon as it's polished and ready to be cherished.
Your story deserves to be remembered in a way that feels real.
Super 8 doesn’t just show you what happened—it makes you feel it all over again. Whether you’re booking it as a stand-alone or pairing it with your wedding’s digital film, one thing is certain: every time you press play, you’ll be taken back to that moment like it just happened yesterday.
