Super 8 Wedding Films
Super 8 look wedding films bring a nostalgic 8mm motion picture feel to your wedding day. The style is soft, grainy, warm, and full of character. It feels timeless and personal rather than polished and modern.
​
This is not a simple filter. Your wedding is captured digitally on the day, allowing more coverage, more flexibility, and better reliability. In post production, genuine film mattes and authentic grain profiles are applied to create the appearance of real Super 8 film without the high price tag or shooting limits.
​
By shooting digitally and applying the Super 8 look in post, you get the visual style you love while capturing far more of your wedding day across Suffolk, Essex, Norfolk and beyond.
Real Super 8 film is expensive and restrictive. A single reel of Super 8 film typically costs between £40 and £130 before processing. Developing and professional scanning often adds another £50 to £100 per reel. Each reel only captures a few minutes of footage. That means real film quickly becomes costly and limits how much of your day can be captured.
​
This means capturing only short clips and limited moments. By shooting digitally and applying the Super 8 look later, we capture more of your day with all the visual style and none of the big film costs.
​
What makes my Super 8 films different?
​
Super 8 style films focus on feel rather than perfection. You get natural grain, gentle motion, soft highlights, and colour that feels organic. The result feels like a memory rather than a recording.
​
This approach works especially well for outdoor weddings, countryside venues, garden ceremonies, and relaxed black tie celebrations. It also pairs beautifully with film photography and couples who love timeless design.
​
Digital capture also allows clean audio recording for key moments if required, something real Super 8 cameras cannot deliver.
How filming works
Your wedding is filmed digitally using professional cameras. This allows longer coverage, reliability, and flexibility in changing light and weather.
​
In editing, genuine film textures, grain overlays, frame softness, and colour response are applied to replicate the Super 8 look. Each film is treated individually rather than using automated presets.
​
You receive a finished film that feels vintage, cinematic, and personal, delivered digitally with optional keepsake formats available.

Who this style is for?

Why choose a Super 8 look film?
Real Super 8 film reels and lab processing are costly, and capturing full coverage on actual film is difficult. By shooting digitally and creating the Super 8 look later, you get more moments preserved, real audio where it matters, and the vintage feel without the high price. This gives you flexibility, quality, and the best cinematic outcome for your day.
If you are planning a wedding in Suffolk, Essex, Norfolk or further afield and want a wedding film that feels different, personal, and timeless, get in touch to check availability and see if a Super 8 look film fits your day.
