The Super 8 Investment
For the moments photographs cannot hold
There is something so special about seeing a moment move again.
The way someone laughs, the way you reach for each other, the sound of your friends cheering, your grandparents dancing, the little moments that photographs cannot quite hold. Super 8 gives you a way to remember not only what your day looked like, but how it moved and felt.
I film your day on a vintage Super 8 camera, creating something nostalgic, imperfect, and entirely alive. The kind of home movie you will want to watch years from now and eventually pass down to the people who come after you.
The approach
It feels like being observed by a friend, where you can be yourselves and just be together.
You never have to perform for my camera. I don’t want you to. I may guide you through prompts and an occasional still pose, but for the most part, I am there to observe you, your partner, and your joy.
I want your photographs to feel like you’re looking in a mirror, seeing yourselves as you are.
I’ll be there to photograph the human experience as it happens. The hugs, the tears, the laughter, the people you love, and all the moments in between.
like a home movie, because it should feel like one
The approach
Something you will watch for years to come
Super 8 video investments begin at $2,100 for local celebrations in Raleigh. Destination weddings are individually customized based on travel and specific locations.
Super 8 can be added on to any photography package or booked as a stand alone experience. Whether you want your entire wedding day documented on film or simply want another way to remember the people, movement, and feeling of it all, we can create something around what matters most to you.
Super 8 Film
Super 8 lets you hold onto those pieces of your day in a way that feels nostalgic and familiar. Filmed on a vintage camera, your wedding becomes something you can watch years from now and feel like you are right back there, surrounded by the people you love. The same kind of camera that captured your grandparents’ weddings can now capture yours, creating something that feels less like a production and more like a home movie you will treasure for generations.

“Abbey, we don’t have words to describe how incredible these photos are, it felt like we just relived the whole day!!! Literally everything about them is perfect. We went through all the emotions all over again just looking at all the photos.
And the super 8 film is so so so magical!!! I had high expectations because I’m obsessed with your other super 8s but OMG it makes me feel so special! Thank you for being a part of our day, not only as our photographer/videographer but as a planner confidant and friend!”

Made to be watched again and again
Your wedding day will become a story you tell for the rest of your life, but there are some parts of it that deserve to be seen again. The movement, the laughter, the way your people looked at you, and all those fleeting moments you did not even realize were happening.
Super 8 turns those pieces of your day into a home movie you can return to years from now, and one day, share with the generations who come after you.
Let’s make the kind of home movie your grandchildren will watch someday.
