Super 8 — Film 

Some memories are perfectly preserved in a photograph.

Others need to move.

Shot entirely on authentic Super 8 film, each movie preserves the rhythm, grain and unpredictability of vintage home movies, transforming a single day into a memory you’ll return to again and again.

Available as a standalone experience or as an addition to weddings and photo sessions.

The film

Super 8 isn’t traditional video.

There are no endless takes, recorded audio or staged scenes. Every second of film is intentional, preserving spontaneous gestures, quiet details and the fleeting moments that often pass unnoticed.

The result is a timeless short film that feels less like a video and more like a memory.

Each experience includes:

  • Filming on authentic Super 8 film
  • Collaborative planning of the film’s atmosphere and rhythm
  • Footage captured naturally throughout the session or wedding
  • Professional film processing
  • High-quality digital scanning
  • Cinematic editing with music
  • Digital delivery of your final film

The final duration varies depending on the experience, always prioritising storytelling over the quantity of footage.

For sessions

A memory in motion

For Cinematic Photowalks and Stories, I create a short film of approximately 1–1.5 minutes, designed as the natural complement to your photographs.

For weddings

Highlights on film

For weddings, Super 8 becomes a visual story that accompanies the photography, resulting in a film of approximately 3 minutes featuring the most meaningful moments of your day.

Authentic film

Imperfect, and that’s exactly why it’s beautiful

The grain, subtle light variations and natural movement of film are never hidden. They’re an essential part of its charm and what makes every Super 8 film truly one of a kind.
