Super 8 & 16 mm film
We shoot
analogue wedding films
Do you remember the times when the only way to capture your special moments was to shoot them on film? No instant playback on a screen – just the excitement of getting your film back from the lab and finally seeing what you had shot. A holiday video was something more than zeros and ones stored in a cloud.
We are bringing it back: we film weddings and elopements on Kodak Super 8 and 16 mm film, on its own or alongside your digital wedding film.

How it works
How do we book an analogue film?
Add Super 8 or 16 mm to your digital wedding film, or book an analogue film on its own – for an intimate elopement it can tell the whole story. Send us your date and place and we will put together a personal quote.
What do we receive?
A short film edited purely from the analogue footage, the film shots woven into your main wedding film when you book both, 4K scans of every reel and the developed reels themselves to keep.
How much does it cost?
Every analogue film is quoted personally. The price depends on the format (Super 8 or 16 mm), on how much of your day you would like on film and on whether you book it on its own or alongside your digital wedding film.
Why we love film
Maybe we needed new inspiration. Maybe we were not satisfied with the sterile look of digital cameras. Or maybe we are just a couple of hipsters…
It all started on a holiday after a long wedding season, when we took only our 35 mm film camera and a bunch of films with us. No batteries, no SD cards, and we could take the camera out into a storm. In the end we had 72 lovely pictures instead of 9,999 digital ones that no one wants to go through.
From camera to scan
01Home-made chemicals
Many labs still develop 16 mm and 35 mm film, but only very few will process 8 mm. So we learned the whole process ourselves.
02Custom-built 4K telecine scanner
Shooting film today is not only about the chemical processing, but also about getting great digital scans. That is why we built our own 8 mm scanner in 4K resolution.
03Kodak film stocks
We shoot on professional Kodak film – Vision3 50D, 500T and black-and-white Tri-X. It is the same material as the 35 mm film used by Hollywood directors.
04Super 8 cameras
Small, easy to use and beautiful. We have a lot of them – from the light Canon 310 XL, 514 XL and 814 XL-S to the professional Leica Leicina.
0516 mm on the Bolex H16
For a richer, more cinematic look we shoot 16 mm on a Bolex H16 – the camera behind our Iceland and Prague films above.
06Rent a Super 8 for your honeymoon
Our cameras are easy to operate, so if you are planning a honeymoon or a trip, we can rent you one of them.
