Super 8mm is a motion picture film format beloved by international fashion brands and indie enthusiasts alike. Over the past decade of using this medium with my cinema team, Wagner & Co. I've been in love with everything about it: the nostalgia; the way it interprets colour and expresses movement; the beautiful textures and grain you can only find in actual film stock.
And perhaps most of all, the way it elevates a moment while staying true to its natural and home movie-like qualities.
One of my favourite experiences while shooting Super 8mm is how often guests delight at the very sight of the camera. What is that? we often hear. The click, and then the actual film spool whirring into action. This analogue format is something so few ever get to experience.
This service can be purchased with or without photography. One of my mega talented videographers from Wagner & Co. will be filming your big day.
Documentary, fly on the wall type of coverage, with moments of interaction and cheekiness when the situation calls for it. Our couples enjoy this approach because of our ability to capture sincere moments, unguarded expressions, and the details that matter long after all is said and done.
We don't make your day into a production.
Instead, we're most interested in blending in and being treated like another guest—who just so happens to have an interesting camera and knows how to use it well.
Our documentation focuses on you, the community you've invited, the details that provide context, and the overall setting of your wedding day.
Most of our videos do not have voice-overs. We love cinema's ability to convey mood and emotion without the need for dialogue and that's especially true with 8mm film.
That said, if recording audio is a priority for you, we offer traditional coverage of your Ceremony and Speeches/Toasts using digital footage and professionally recorded audio. This can be purchased as an add-on.
Not too long that you're waiting for over a year, but just enough time for us to work our magic.
You can expect your videos within 16 weeks after your wedding. A lab needs to be involved in the development and scanning of the 8mm film before we get to the most intensive parts of this process: curating and editing!
We promise it'll be worth the wait.
Our 8MM EXCLUSIVE COLLECTION is limited to 5 bookings per year and can be purchased with/out photography.

Once we receive a signed contract and non-refundable booking retainer (50%), we're all yours. Looking forward to hearing from you soon, you legends.

And be transported into millions of micro-moments
We have a soft spot for these two brides, marvellous womxn, and down to earth lovers. With the ever outstanding Holly Farm in the Carmel Valley hosting such a joyous union, Dana and Kate reminded us of what love can do when it's held and shaped and shared by humans who surround themselves with the very best.
Located just outside of Austin, Real Camino Ranch is the wedding venue of your greenhouse, modern desert Palm Springs in Texas dreams. Say that three times fast. Or in Allie and Michael's own words: “If the smooth suaveness from Bad Bad News by Leon Bridges and the whimsical emotion from Texas Sun by Leon Bridges came together and had a baby, this would be our vibe.”
Since filming our first wedding in New Orleans at possibly the most perfect venue of Race & Religious, we've been lucky to reconnect with this brilliant city and its friendly folks a few more times. Whoever's making this happen in the universe, please don't ever stop the good vibes, especially if they happen to involve humans with a penchant for sparkle, outrageous costumes, and mega dance parties like our good friends, Emily and Brian here who couldn't dream up a more glorious wedding in New Orleans.
Their Sikh fusion wedding had us taking in the majestic sights of Riverlands Equestrian and the always exceptional Audain Art Museum. No matter how many times we've visited this part of our backyard, we're constantly reminded of how incredible it is to have access to a gorgeous meadow and a modern architectural wonder within a few hours of Vancouver.
For those wanting to enjoy the highlights of their day in a short wedding video played on repeat.
Wagner & Co.'s signature hybrid wedding videos are all about striking that perfect balance of joy, sentiment, and fun. These are created in a music video style using quick creative cuts and a blend of digital and Super 8mm Film.
While we're keen on celebrating you as a couple, we also recognize that a wedding day isn't just about two people. We also love including the people you've invited who hold you up—your family and friends—as much as possible in our wedding videos. So, we hope that beyond our filming, you and your guests also get to enjoy the fact we're there as friends and magic-making collaborators: ready to join in on the fun, be there during the most intimate and brilliant moments, and help you make the most of your memories.
Our work has taken us to New Orleans, Palm Springs, Austin, Mexico, Toronto, and of course around our home bases of Vancouver and Los Angeles.
An energetic mix of digital and Super 8mm film to create a "music video" style wedding video
