As a wedding videographer, my job goes beyond simply documenting the event—it’s about telling a couple’s unique story through the lens. Jordan and Carly’s wedding was nothing short of spectacular, and I had the privilege of capturing their big day in a way that felt authentic and timeless, with the added charm of Super 8 footage. Set against the beautiful backdrop of Laguna Beach, their wedding had all the right ingredients to make for a breathtaking film.

For Jordan and Carly’s wedding, I knew Super 8 footage would be the perfect way to capture the raw emotion of the day—those fleeting moments that tell the real story. Whether it was their exchange of vows or the small, candid moments in between, Super 8 film added a layer of depth and character to the video, preserving memories in a way that felt both classic and personal.
When it comes to weddings, Super 8 footage offers a romantic, cinematic feel that complements any venue. The soft colors and vintage aesthetic perfectly enhanced the natural beauty of the Casa Loma Beach Hotel rooftop, and helped preserve the special atmosphere of the day.
