Weddings on Super 8, one venue at a time
Real weddings I’ve filmed on 8mm, with notes on how each venue shoots: where the light is, what the film loves, and what to plan around if you’re getting married there.
Venue stories
Lowndes Grove · Charleston
Caroline & Ryan’s Lowndes Grove wedding on Super 8
A May Sunday on the Ashley River: a clear tent on the lawn, the dock at sunset, sparklers at ten.
The William Aiken House · Charleston
Super 8 at the William Aiken House
An 1807 house on King Street with dim, beautiful interiors, and where the easiest light on the property is.
Boone Hall · Mount Pleasant
Nicki & Matt under the Avenue of Oaks
Live oaks, Spanish moss and a long straight walk to the house. Why Boone Hall looks like 1975 on film.
Harbour Town · Hilton Head Island
Liam & Maddie at the lighthouse
Coastal light, white boats, the striped lighthouse. Super 8 was built for this palette.
The Charleston Princess · Charleston Harbor
Darby & James on the water
A ceremony on the open deck with the Ravenel Bridge behind them. Shooting handheld film on a moving boat.
Other venues I’ve filmed
Digital wedding films from around the Carolinas and beyond are on the Films page. Every venue below has a film there.
Getting married at one of these — or somewhere I haven’t shot yet?
