The Process
The documentary filming process is to capture life as it is. This means on a wedding day noting how the sky looks, the sounds outside, the feeling of the vast array of love all in one room, the cheering of the voices of loved ones and the quiet energy in the subtle, intimate moments.
It is an authentic approach to filming the real emotions of events shared. There is no posing, no reenactments, no fake laughs— allowing all to be fully present. From the anticipation in the air of the morning to the dreamy last light that casts on the evening, the documentary process will represent distinctly how it felt to celebrate the present moment.
COVERAGE IN DIGital 4k, SUPER 8MM, OR both
Super 8mm Film
Released by Eastman Kodak in 1965, Super 8 became one of the preferred film formats of the motion picture industry during the 1960s and 70s— alongside 35mm film. Super 8 was most widely used for filming home movies.
It remains a striking alternative format for creating videos in the dreamy use of film.
When I was in school, my art teacher taught me that in the rules of photography, you have to make a choice. You have to expose for either the highlights or the shadows since the camera has a limit to the amount of light it can take in, or, dynamic range. I fell in love with the idea of letting the shadows go and seeing what gorgeous detail remained in the light. This eventually became a shooting style I adopted as I began to create short films. It is also a beautiful metaphor for how I choose to live, letting the darkness go and embracing the light.
What makes your walls come down, what makes you laugh at the top of your lungs — these are the things I love to witness. I believe the very best of life is found in the moments you can’t sit still out of your own adoration. As I film weddings, I chase this feeling. It comes out of the spur of the moment. It is chemistry— real, honest, and true to only the two of you. This is why I have been documenting weddings in Analog and Digital format for seven years — to preserve the light of life.
