SUPER 8 FILM from a wedding photographer POV

Hey there yall!

I just wanted to share this super lil dreamy film that was done of a wedding day in Norfolk, Virginia last fall. It was a gorgeous, October wedding at the Hermitage Garden and Museum. The lighting was absolute perfection that day.

As a wedding photographer who absolutely loves solely photographing, I have enjoyed dipping my feet into the world of Super 8 films. I am always going to work at improving my skills, technique, and overall style with filming with Super 8. So many ideas that I have yet to try, but hopefully will this year! There’s a couple things I’d love to film personally and professionally with this type of format.

It does cost quite a bit to purchase Super 8 film, process, and scan. That’s the beauty and curse that comes with shooting on film. Magical and unique looking but pricey. Digital films have their place as well as using film to capture video with everything, and there are SO many amazing Virginia videographers out there! Folkes Film is a husband and wife duo that I absolutely love! I also love the look of Kkinscreative, although we’ve never worked together.

I choose to use Super 8 because I think it captures a certain essence of any wedding style or day. It also captures a wedding day a little differently as I film in spurts throughout the day. If you can book both digital and me for Super 8 film I highly recommend it.

I hope you enjoy this filmy, wedding dream film.
