Why Super 8 Film is the Perfect Addition to Your Wedding Film

When couples come to Corey Davis Films, they’re looking for more than just a wedding video—they want a story. A wedding film should feel timeless, emotional, and uniquely yours. One way we love to bring that extra layer of nostalgia and authenticity to your wedding story is through Super 8 film.

What is Super 8 Film?

Super 8 is a vintage film format that became popular in the 1960s and 70s. Unlike digital footage, it’s captured on real film stock, giving it that unmistakable grainy texture, soft colors, and nostalgic flicker. If you’ve ever flipped through your parents’ or grandparents’ home movies, chances are they were shot on Super 8.

Why Include Super 8 in Your Wedding Film?

1. Nostalgia That Never FadesThere’s something about film that instantly feels timeless. Super 8 evokes the feeling of cherished family memories—the kind that still feel magical decades later. When you look back at your wedding film, those Super 8 clips will transport you right back, while also feeling like they’ve been part of your family story forever.

2. A Perfect Blend of Vintage and ModernAt Corey Davis Films, we specialize in creating cinematic, story-driven wedding films. Adding Super 8 doesn’t replace digital footage—it enhances it. The combination of crisp digital storytelling with the dreamy texture of film creates a layered, one-of-a-kind experience.

3. Capturing the In-Between MomentsSuper 8 shines in the candid, unposed parts of the day. A stolen glance, your guests laughing at cocktail hour, the breeze moving through your veil—these little details feel extra special when preserved on film. It’s not about perfection; it’s about emotion.

4. Tangible Art You Can FeelUnlike digital footage, film is a physical medium. Every frame is a strip of history, exposed to the light of your wedding day. There’s an artistry to it—the whir of the camera, the anticipation of developing—that makes it feel extra meaningful.
