We knew we wanted our wedding video to be shot on Super 8 camera, which is from the late 60s, early 70s, so the video has a unique, vintage feel to it. We found Steven of Wild Light Films after a bit of research and found that he incorporates Super 8 footage into his videos; he has such an amazing vision and creates the most beautiful wedding videos!
I booked Steven thinking he was in Florida but he was willing to travel, but found out that he was moving to LA, so it was great! About a few months out from our wedding, he suggested to meet up in person at a couple locations that we like to get in some extra footage of us that he could mix into our wedding video. I had never heard of shooting extra footage for a wedding, but we were totally up to meeting him in person to get to know him before our big day! AND boy did we have a blast! We spent a few hours wandering around Downtown Los Angeles, having some drinks at a few bars, and just getting really cool footage in.
The day of the wedding, we felt like he was one of our guests and a close friend. So I totally felt comfortable having him film us! His fiance was assisting him the day of with the Super 8 camera, while he had his digital camera. That way, he could get footage on both.
I couldn’t be happier with our videos. They are jaw-droppingly gorgeous and completely captured our special day in the most beautiful, romantic, and best way! I don’t even have words for it. Just take a look at them here!
