Super 8mm Weddings!

Why return to those old days of film production? The feel, the look, the color of film is unique, organic and made of memories. Nearly every family has a closet shelf of Super 8mm Film from up to 20 years ago. The scratchy, grainy images of granddad, grandma, mom and dad, it's how we have learned who they were in their younger livesdays through the moving images of film.

Of course for years the ability to add fake grain, scratches have been available in the editing process. For me this has always looked fake, there is an organic feel to film that just can't be replicated by adding a digital effect on top of a digitally created image. I have resisted for years adding such effects with the opinion that if I wasn't offering the real thing I wasn't going to fake it.

Then last year on a fluke I bid and won a Super 8mm Film camera on ebay. Last summer I went out and test shot a roll of film wandering around the University of Notre Dame capus. The intention was adding the campus images into weddings we shot at the Basilica. The results of that shoot are below in the video. I just love the look of film and hope you like it too!

Oh during the shoot I ran across a bride and groom getting married on a Friday at the Basilica and shot a few feet of them walking at a distance for fun.
