I knew from the first phone call with Christine that their Super 8 film was going to be fantastic. Her and Jon were into anything I suggested, anything that could make the day and the film the most fun. My goal is not only to keep things focused and make a great film but to reduce stress as […]

Where is a better place to get married and make art-y Super 8mm films than at an actual art museum? Monica and Justin’s choice of the Michener Art Museum was perfecto. We love shooting in the outside courtyard spaces and making use of the multiple sculpture gardens. The Doylestown institution has multiple galleries and other hidden […]

We were back at the Inn at Grace Winery, and happily so. As you may know we love shooting here, especially with Super8. The farm, animals, barn, meadows, space for sunlight…all a great recipe for a fun film. Ahh, the vineyard, can’t forget shooting in there. And we couldn’t have been luckier to find ourselves […]

Broadwater Farm isn’t just a working farm or a farm-turned pastoral venue. It’s the childhood home of Katy and the Andersen family, tucked in the rolling hills of the Phoenixville country-side. We’ve posted several times about Katy and Jared and their wedding. All of it is true…the beautiful landscape, the herds of sheep and cattle, the rare sighting of the hermetic […]

As anyone who follows our blog may know, we love winter. We love snow and mountains and even the cold. One of our official first dates was Julie organizing a multi-day cross country ski/winter camping expedition. Now I’m game for camping and the cold and mountains but you have to know that I’m interested in […]

If we had to choose one type of location to shoot in forever, a farm and it’s land and inhabitants would be our choice. I can speak for Julie here as well. I mean, she did grow up on a wheat farm in the middle of big sky Montana. So you know she feels at […]

There are many favorite things about this film and the day we spent with Jackie and Tim. These two set themselves up for the exact day they wanted to share with family and friends. The secret was in the preparations, time and outlook on how everything unfolded. Let’s be honest, they had perfect weather on […]

I don’t mind watching this film for the hundredth time on this rainy Philly morning. Let’s go to O’ahu, Hawaii, in specific the windward coast of Lanikai. A light trade wind blowing across turquoise water. Lush green mountains surrounding surf breaks. Yeah, I could get used to that. But for now, I’ll hit play again. […]

Back in Cape May with a Super 8mm film at the Southern Mansion. Sara and Matt live nearby in South Philly and are lovers of all things outdoors. And as such planned a garden wedding in one of the nicest places in New Jersey…some would say the world. They told me the ceremony and the […]

Caroline and Mike created the ultimate backyard wedding that lent itself perfectly to the nostalgic tone of a Super8 film. Let me just list a few things that you didn’t want to miss: horses and carrots, great combo (Caroline is an avid rider and professional trainer, horses are a significant part of her and Mike’s […]

What goes better with Super8 than a fun-time couple whose immediate family owns a craft brewery? No need to actually answer that one but Mike and Robin are that couple and Crooked Eye was fueling the fun. Like I always says, “those who love craft beer love craft filmzzzz” -Dutch, 7/13/16 Good times had by […]

A heavy sky loomed over the Mallard Island Yacht Club when we arrived to begin documenting Jenn and Marc’s day. I would have never guessed the weather was stormy when you entered the room with Jenn and her sisters and friends. And really, that’s how it should be. You are marrying the person you want […]

Back at Congress Hall for another winter Super 8mm wedding. And yet again, another gorgeous and unseasonably warm day to film. This time I’m filming Justine and Daniel, a fun-time, travel-bound couple living in Brooklyn and getting married in Justine’s hometown, Cape May. I have many things in common with these two…the first being a […]

I’d be willing to bet that when Kaitlyn and Brad met one of the two was dancing. More specifically, spinning while dancing. They’re both so good at it. Just watch the film and see how anyone who hangs out with either one of them ends up spinning. Kids can’t stop spinning. Even Kaitlyn’s dress spins […]

We were both excited and nervous for Katie and Charlie’s wedding. Not for the obvious reasons that usually go along with shooting a wedding – not missing a moment, keeping everyone on schedule, traffic, etc. But mainly because Julie was due to deliver our first baby anytime around that weekend. So you could say there […]

Joe surprised Megan on the wedding day with a gift I fully support…Super8. Megan had no idea until I entered the room rolling film. To say the least, she was shocked (and legend has it she was still muttering moments before I entered how she wish she had made it happen). These two lived their […]

Super8 amplifies any scenario, in any setting. Give it an elegant location like Overbrooke Golf Club and it enhances the classico look though its manual lens. Roll up to your wedding in an antique Ford Fairlane and the film feels like archival footage from the 50’s. The flicker of the camera gives you a permission slip […]

Hope the holidays and festivities treated everyone well. To start off this new year I’ve got a new film montage to share, You Are Here 2014. It’s Super8mm as always, delicious and infinite (in certain ways). I love these films. I love shooting them, editing them, editing them some more, making the music fit the […]

I get real excited when anyone requests Super8 from us on their wedding day. That means so many great things. Here the first 3 reasons I can think of after finishing this film at 3am: 1) We’re most likely on the same page visually/aesthetically and in the same ball park musically I bet. 2) There […]

Here we are again. I love these montages of the year’s Super8 films. It’s a real challenge to try and trim down all the footage into a sweet little 3 minute (or so) film that can draw out the essence of both the Super8 medium as well as the rush of a wedding day. This […]
