“Wait…is that film?”

“Oh my gosh, my dad had a camera just like that!”

I’m Bri, a Minneapolis wedding photographer and videographer bringing Super 8 film and Hi8 tape camcorders to wedding days to create something truly unique.

Why This Home Movie Wedding Video Style Is a Game-Changer

A vintage wedding home movie is for couples who want something more personal than a cookie-cutter video.

Forget the stiff 4k highlight reels. My style mixes cinematic Super 8 film with the playful honesty of a 90s camcorder. There’s just something about the feel of film and the unfiltered personality on camcorder tape that feels alive.

If you love nostalgia and the aesthetic of old-school home movies, this is for you. My films are inspired by the messy, sentimental beauty of childhood tapes and the warmth of analog family archives. Instead of chasing perfection, I focus on authenticity.

What You’ll Actually See Inside this Super 8 Wedding Film

• Vows that’ll give you goosebumps….”I knew I wanted to marry you before I told you I loved you for the first time”.

• The morning your mom zipped you into your dress, “you’re the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen” through tears.

• Your grandparents, hand in hand after 58 years of marriage, offering a piece of advice.

• The way your dad’s voice cracked during his toast when he said he was proud of you.

• Your wedding party heckling each other during portraits, leaving behind blooper reels of inside jokes and ridiculous commentary you’ll never forget.

• Guests picking up the camcorder to film their own POVs — narrating your wedding like it’s part The Office, part sports broadcast. Completely unscripted, totally iconic.

• And your own little vlog moment at the end of the night, showing off your new rings, grinning into the lens, saying: “We did it. Forever.”

What Makes My Vintage Wedding Videos Different?

Video, to me, is the most personal way to remember a wedding day. It’s the audio. It’s the voices. It’s the moments you didn’t realize were so special until you hear them again. Hi8 camcorder footage intermixes with Super 8 film more naturally than digital — interactive, playful, and inviting your people to join in. Instead of feeling like a production, it feels like life unfolding right in front of you. If you’re new to Super 8 and wondering why it looks so different from digital, I put together a quick Super 8 guide that explains everything.

It’s long-form storytelling → 15–20+ minutes that actually feel like a movie of your day, not just a highlight edit.

It’s nontraditional → no staged highlight reel, no production crew hovering.

It’s vintage → all 100% analog experience. No emulations or editing overlays.

It’s interactive → co-created with your loved ones picking up the camcorder, leaving you little surprise clips.

It’s timeless → your vows, your laughter, the voices of your people saved forever.
