SUPER 8 WEDDING FILMS
For New York City & Destination Weddings
Meet Zephren
Super 8 Wedding Videographer & Filmmaker
I don't shoot Super 8 because it's trendy.
I use Super 8 because it forces me to slow down, read the room, and shoot with intention.
The result is Super 8 footage that feels thoughtful, authentic, and captured with a purpose.
If this sounds like what you're looking for, I'd love to capture your story!
POETIC, AUTHENTIC, NOSTALGIC
I’m not here to direct your day.
I’m here to capture real moments, as they are happening. I look for the things others miss, the glances, the laughter, the emotion.
These are the small details that you'll want to look back on again and again.
A Unique Approach to Wedding Videography

Why Super 8?
Super 8 was introduced by Kodak to make home movie making more accessible. I believe everyone deserves to have the important moments in their lives documented on real 8mm film.
Light leaks, grain, scratches, these are unpredictable features that make every frame look distinctive and unique. No presets and no film simulations. Just real 8mm film passing through a 50-year-old camera.
Because your love deserves more than digital.

Super 8 is the same motion picture film used to make movies by Hollywood filmmakers. That means your Super 8 wedding film needs to be color-graded to get those beautiful film colors.

“Working with Zeph for our wedding was so wonderful! In our conversations, he made sure he gathered everything needed to capture our vision thoroughly. He walked us through our day and process in great detail, even traveled across the country without issue or concern! My husband and I both agreed, choosing Zeph to be a part of our day was one of the best decisions we made.”

"We loved working with Zephren to capture our pre-wedding engagement shoot! He was flexible and accommodating throughout the whole process. He was receptive to our ideas and made us feel comfortable being filmed. We were so excited and emotional to see the final edit; he really captured the vibe and aesthetic that we were looking for! Can’t wait to use this footage as part of our wedding."
Frequently Asked Questions
-
16mm is Super 8’s big brother. It has the same texture and colors as Super 8, but with an overall more polished and cleaner look. 16mm is considered a professional film format and has been used to create movies and TV shows for decades. Sex In The City, The Walking Dead, Gilmore Girls, Moonrise Kingdom, and Black Swan were all shot on 16mm film!
-
Audio cannot be recorded on Super 8 or 16mm cameras anymore. Instead of using audio, your Super 8 film will be paired with a carefully selected song that complements the pacing, emotion, and atmosphere of your day.
If it’s important to have audio recorded for speeches and vows, I offer digital recordings via camcorder. -
