Super 8 Wedding Videographer NYC | Vintage Wedding Films
What Is Super 8 Wedding Videography?
Super 8 wedding videography is more than just a format — it’s an experience. Shot on authentic film stock, Super 8 captures the raw, nostalgic beauty of weddings in a way that digital simply can’t. The soft grain, flickering light, and imperfect texture create a dreamlike quality that feels timeless.
Couples choose Super 8 because it looks like memory itself — fragile, intimate, and deeply emotional. When you watch your wedding day on Super 8, it doesn’t feel staged or polished. It feels real.
Why Couples in NYC Love Super 8 Films
New York weddings are fast, bold, and unforgettable — and Super 8 matches that energy perfectly. Whether you’re saying your vows in a Brooklyn loft, celebrating with family in Central Park, or dancing on a Manhattan rooftop, Super 8 transforms each moment into a cinematic poem.
Super 8 is perfect for couples who:
Want a vintage, nostalgic vibe in their wedding film.
Prefer authentic emotion over staged perfection.
Love art, fashion, and cinema.
Want a film that will feel timeless even 30 years from now.
It’s not about documenting every detail. It’s about capturing the soul of your wedding.
Our Approach to Super 8 Wedding Videography
At Arrakis Films, we don’t just record — we create art. With over a decade of experience in filmmaking, we bring storytelling, rhythm, and emotional depth into every frame.
Here’s how we approach your day:
Minimal intrusion – Super 8 cameras are small and quiet, so you can stay fully present while we capture the moments.
Cinematic storytelling – Each wedding film is edited to reflect your unique vibe, whether it’s romantic, playful, rebellious, or fashion-forward.
True film look – We shoot on authentic Kodak film stock and handle professional developing and scanning, so you receive the real texture of analog film.
Hybrid options – We can combine Super 8 with digital footage, giving you both timeless nostalgia and crisp modern coverage.
Digital video is sharp and clean. Super 8 wedding videos are nostalgic and emotional, with a focus on visuals and feelings rather than synchronized sound. We film on actual Super 8 cameras and develop the film to preserve the analog look. Super 8 typically does not include sound or audio recorded in-camera, which helps maintain the focus on the visual storytelling. However, audio recordings can be added in post-production if desired, and some videographers choose to record sound separately or capture audio during the event for a more immersive experience. No overlays or filters — just real film, real texture, real soul.
