Seems like every week now I’m shooting another wedding on analog film, with Sally & Luke it was no different with the exception that the analog was courtesy of the nostalgia heavy Super 8 film format.

Shooting super 8 video for this wedding was particularly special though. The bride and groom both have a deep personal connection with Super 8 film, using it in both their personal lives and professionally, Super 8 has been a staple in their documented memories for over a decade. Sally, who’s love with Super 8 film goes so deep, that she actually INVENTED a device that projects Super 8 reels while spinning a song from a vinyl record, It’s the IRL version of what I create for couples.

They hosted their wedding at the beautiful Leña Restaurante in downtown Toronto, the perfect spot to create a moody and romantic ambiance for their intimate selection of friends and family. Don’t be fooled though, lying beneath the surface was a rambunctious group of dancing partying animals. There’s something endearing about watching a bride and groom unleash that level of intensity while dancing in a carefree wonder to the tracks of their coming of age story.

As told through the series of polaroid films in various albums scattered around the restaurant, the history of Sally & Luke’s story is one filled with good times with good people. I’m glad I got to be involved in creating a piece of those memories that will live along countless other’s on their personal timeline as their story continues to be told.
