He's also our Super 8 videographer if you add a film to your wedding day package, and can even be seen as our second photographer!

01

We specialize in film, in particular, 35mm film, 120mm film, Polaroids, and Super 8 video. We do also offer hybrid - film and digital - packages. Let us know what you're interested in when you inquire with us!

06

Yes! Our team offers solely Super 8 packages, as well as add-ons to any type of package! We offer Half and Full Day Super 8 coverage on weekends!

02

For fully film wedding packages, you will receive your wedding gallery 3-4 weeks after your wedding. If you have a hybrid wedding gallery, you'll receive a sneak peek within the week and your full gallery ready 6-8 weeks after your wedding day.

02

Super 8 videography is motion film on old-school film. It records imagery only, not sound, so we like to add on songs that are sentimental to you! We suggest going with Super 8 for your wedding or session if you are drawn to nostalgic type of videos, find magic in the imperfections, and don't really want a full videography team or production. 

07

We structure your wedding gallery to tell the best story of your day! This means we don't have a minimum or maximum number of photos we add, but don't worry! You'll get plenty of photos! Usually our full wedding galleries end up having about 1k photos (not including the black and white duplicates).

08

03

Sessions and elopement galleries will be ready within 2-3 weeks. 

Super 8 delivery is based on when I get the film scans back from the lab.

04

We have been photographing on film for over 15 years, so we know you need a few back up plans! We make sure our cameras are serviced regularly and functioning at their highest level. We also bring backups of all of our cameras, just in case! We also make sure to photograph each moment on multiple cameras!

Once we're ready to send out your film to the lab to be processed and scanned, we put an Airtag in your package to make sure we can follow along on its journey and your film will never get lost!

Finally, when we receive your film scans, we back them up to multiple locations, and make sure to have your negatives sent back to us. We can ship your negatives to you at no extra cost!

02

Yes! We are skilled in photographing in all types of lighting, weather, and locations. For film and Super 8, we may need to bring lighting and work with flash, especially in overcast or dark situations. 

10

We are the ultimate planners and pivoters! What we plan for your wedding day may not always happen perfectly on your wedding day, but that's why we always add in more time to your timeline for padding, come up with back up photo locations, and map out our concepts and ideas before your wedding day.

We make sure to scout your location, go over your mood board and vibes, and go over your planners designs long before your wedding day. We also send you a Final Details Questionnaire to plan your perfect timeline for the day, family photo lists, and any other details we may need for your day!


09

My team and I have hundreds of weddings under our belt, and are trained to photograph the planned and every moment in between on your wedding day! We work between documentary photography, to get each moment as it unfolds, and editorial photography where we make sure to get the magazine cover worthy shots! 

We also make sure to bring a second photographer on celebrations over 75 guests to not miss a thing!
