Story-driven heirloom films
Our wedding films are crafted to be cinematic masterpieces, each one a captivating narrative of your unique love story. To achieve this, we invest time in understanding you as a couple and the intricacies of your journey together.
Every cherished moment and deliberate detail of your special day is meticulously captured. We also prioritize those who hold significance in your lives, ensuring they feature prominently in your wedding film.
At the heart of our approach lies the importance of audio. We believe that sound enriches the visual experience, allowing you to not only see but also hear the emotions that unfold. From the exchange of vows to the heartfelt laughter of those who mean the most to you.
Our films are intentional and authentic, set to the perfect soundtrack and enriched with heartfelt and candid audio to help tell your story.

MEET & GET ACQUAINTED
We're all about real, authentic moments and heartfelt relationships. Which would you prefer: a stranger filming your wedding day, or a friend? Before we book with any of our couples we meet and have a conversation, whether over a cup of coffee or a Zoom call to get to know each other. Have questions? Ask away!
BOOK & SAVE THE DATE
Once we've gotten to know each other and had some fun hanging out, its time to lock in the day! We take on a limited number of weddings per year in order to give our clients the attention they deserve. To guarantee your date we require a signed contract and deposit.

Super 8 footage is filmed on real, vintage, Super 8 movie cameras. The film is then sent to a lab to be developed, scanned and processed to digital. The films have beautiful light leaks, soft grain, and a nostalgic magic that can't be felt or replicated with digital cameras.
WHAT IS SUPER 8?
A storytelling session is an opportunity for us to dig a little deeper into who you are as a couple and capture it on film. We want to follow you along to a cooking class, or out for a walk with your dog, or to your local pub. We'll capture some video of you two doing your thing and may ask for a few questions along the way.

"They captured our day so perfectly"
From the moment I met them I fell in love. Brooke & Kaella are so fun and energetic. They captured our day so perfectly, on both film and super 8. One of my struggles with finding a videographer was not having access to all of the footage, I wanted more than the quick snapshot video. The girls delivered that and so much more. I can not thank String Lights enough for all they have done for us, and how special they made our day.
