There’s something about Super 8 wedding films that instantly takes you back. The soft grain, the flicker, the way it feels like a memory the second you watch it.
More and more couples are choosing to add Super 8 to their wedding film, and it’s easy to see why. It’s not about filters or trends—it’s about capturing your day with timeless nostalgia and emotional warmth.
If you're wondering whether Super 8 is right for your wedding, here’s everything you need to know.
🎬 What Is Super 8 Wedding Film?
Super 8 is a vintage film format that originated in the 1960s. It’s not digital, and it’s not edited to look old—it’s actually shot on real analog film, then developed and digitized.
The result? A dreamy, nostalgic, home-movie style that feels completely authentic—because it is.
🎥 Think: grainy ceremony footage, sun flares, wind in your veil, happy tears in motion… like your grandparents' wedding video, but cooler.
