I also captured this wedding on Super 8 film, adding a nostalgic, cinematic layer that feels raw, romantic, and timeless in the best way. There’s something so special about preserving a wedding day on motion film—it brings the energy, emotion, and in-between moments to life. I’d love to offer Super 8 wedding film as an add-on to your wedding photography package, creating a beautifully layered keepsake you’ll be able to relive for years to come.
