the magic of super 8

One song, one camera.Super 8.

It’s a little imperfect. A little nostalgic. And that’s what makes it so special. Super 8 video isn’t for everyone, but if you’re drawn to something that’s effortlessly cool and deeply sentimental, this might be your thing. A little time capsule of your day… one you’ll actually want to watch again and again.

Frequently asked questions

Does Super 8 film include sound?
Classic Super 8 cameras don’t record sound… that’s part of the charm! Your final film will be set to the perfect song, creating a nostalgic, music-driven highlight reel of your celebration. If you'd like to include private vows, I do offer an optional audio add-on for that extra personal touch.

How is Super 8 different from digital video?
Super 8 has a dreamy, imperfect quality… think light flares, soft grain, and a slightly jittery, stop-motion feel. It captures emotion in such a raw and timeless way. Unlike digital video, which is often crisp, polished, and mega-modern, Super 8 keeps things simple and intimate. It feels like a memory as it's happening.

What moments does Super 8 capture best?
Super 8 thrives on the natural rhythm of your day. It’s all about capturing authentic, unplanned moments…the laughter, the quiet glances, the energy that flows without interruption. There’s no posing or staging here - just real life unfolding, beautifully imperfect and effortlessly timeless.

If you are photographing my wedding how do you film Super 8 at the same time?
If you hired me to be your wedding photographer, I will have a Super 8 expert (from my team) filming, while I focus on the photography.

“We couldn’t recommend Riley Ann Films more! Choosing Super 8 film over a traditional wedding video was one of the best decisions we made, and Riley absolutely brought our vision to life. She captured our day in such a creative, nostalgic, and meaningful way—it truly feels like a timeless home movie we’ll treasure forever.”
