Let’s see. What ingredients make this a wedding that screams unique? As you watch Joie and Cody’s wedding day unfold in this film you’ll find a historic bed and breakfast, Super 8mm film, “Secret Garden”-esque decor, balloons during the photoshoot, a custom corset worn as the wedding dress, bride in cowboy boots, Spider brooches, an epic first dance (see the full dance here to Weezer), and a bride and groom that wrote personal vows that we will all would envy. And even take to heart. It was a perfect day. And you’ll have to watch the rest of the film to see all the details we didn’t mention.

As evident by the friends and family in attendance, Joie and Cody bring light to everyone around them. They are quirky, they are different, and they seem to rub off on everyone else. :) And they rubbed off on us too. We were honored to know that Joie chose us because she felt we were the only wedding film company that could truly capture her day in a way that was unique and SCREAMED…them. Hopefully we passed the test. One of our favorite weddings of the year. Thanks for having us Joie and Cody! We are privileged to call you friends now. (Cody, keep the photobooth pictures between us, okay?)

A Vintage Wedding Experience – Super 8mm Film

Life Stage Films – Super 8mm Demo from Matt Davis on Vimeo.

You would think in today’s age of HD this and HD that, people would have forgotten old film along time ago. But you see, its more popular than ever. Super 8mm and 16mm are special. Just something about it draws you in. And that translates into a very emotional experience when a wedding is filmed in vintage Super 8mm film. LifeStage is excited and proud to offer the addition of Super 8mm film for your wedding. It’s such a unique experience that we are the only wedding video studio in the region to offer it (3 that we know of in NC).

But we hear you asking, “Guys, what’s so great about it. Its so shaky, there’s no sound and its not a very high quality image. Why would I want this”?

The only response we really have is to ask yourself the feeling you get when you watch old home movies. When you watch old film. Its nostalgic. Super 8 film feels like a faded memory. And its feminine. Its not as harsh as some HD videos tend to be (not ours of course). But when you add film to an HD wedding video it adds so much character to it, it adds another dimension. Super 8mm film is perfect not only for the bride that wants something spectacular and unique, but for the bride who may not want video to begin with. Its kind of the “anti-video”. It doesn’t have the realness of video. It’s…surreal. Its hard not to feel nostalgic when watching Super 8mm films, but please don’t take our word for it. Watch our new sampler demo and let us know what you think. We would be happy to make it available to you for your wedding.
