“We are so lucky to have had Kate as our elopement photographer. She has an eye for detail and what makes a great shot. The photos turned out beautiful, intimate, and say more than words could describe.
If you can, get the Super 8 video added to your package! It’s such a fun feature that Kate has included in her service offerings and creates nostalgic, romantic footage that you’ll be rewatching for years.
Thank you Kate for shooting us like a dream.”

QUESTIONS?

It takes up to 12 weeks to share a first cut of the video, after scanning at processing, at which point you’ll have two opportunities to refine it.

The most popular lengths are the highlight films and features.

Technically speaking, all footage is shot at a 4:3 aspect ratio on Daylight or Tungsten balanced Colour negative film at 24 frames per second. Most of my film cartridges need at least ISO 1600 or require an LED panel.

Super 8 cameras are silent motion picture devices. Often the footage is edited to music or sound recordings in post production captured on a 3rd party mic. If you’d like to learn more about this classic motion picture stock check out these slides by Imperfect Cinema.

Digital footage is provided in the form of a 4k scan (June 2024 onward) and .mp4 file upon delivery unless discussed.

Film is stored in the fridge and used within 6 months of purchase. When your 8 mm footage arrives expect to see dust, grain, rough edges and framing, and soft resolution – this is normal and within the character of the film stock and medium.

Speaking of Imperfect Cinema – this film medium can be sensitive to work with since it records directly to a single film strip on a vintage camera and not to two digital cards with which is why I offer a full refund if there is an issue with a portion of the film turning out. I offer three guarenteed film lengths up to 8 minutes long.

Glad you asked – this is an important point of clarification. All of my coverage quotes for 3 minute highlight films or longer include a second photographer for up to 4 hours to support capturing big ceremony moments such as the first kiss, the ring exchanges, and first looks which would otherwise be missed while I’m taking photos of that as a lead photographer. This gives the additional benefit of having 4~ hours of second photography coverage to help thoroughly capture your day from a diversity of angles and perspectives. Trailer length films typically focus on capturing the in between moments and don’t include a second photographer.

You’ll have an opportunity to outline a questionnaire of special moments and the vibe you’d like your footage to focus on. Worth clarifying, is that I don’t capture excessive iPhone content with Super 8 while offering lead photo coverage.

I do! Feature film lengths with six hours of coverage included can be booked this year and next.

Please note, I generally have a 6-hour service minimum for Saturdays during the busy Summer and fall months. We can discuss your coverage needs further on a call.
