A Super 8 Wedding at Longboat Key Club | Haylee & David’s Vintage Coastal Celebration
Haylee & David’s Vintage Coastal Celebration at
The Resort at Longboat Key Club
There’s something unmistakably timeless about a wedding filmed entirely on Kodak Super 8 film, especially when it takes place on the pristine shores of Longboat Key, Florida. Haylee and David’s wedding at the Resort at Longboat Key Club wasn’t just a celebration; it was a soulful coastal story told frame by frame in warm tones, soft grain and unfiltered joy. Every flutter of her veil in the salt breeze, every sun-kissed embrace, they didn’t just get recorded, they got etched into the living memory of motion picture film. This was my first Super 8 wedding of the year, and it reminded me why I fell in love with this craft in the first place.
Their wedding day unfolded with a kind of gentle rhythm that only Longboat Key can give you, slow mornings, turquoise views, and a subtle hush of waves crashing just out of frame. The ceremony was held beachside under a floral draped arbor, with the golden hour sun painting everything in soft amber hues. From their emotional vows to barefoot portraits along the shoreline, every moment was filmed exactly as it happened, in the only way I know how honest, raw, and uninterrupted. Super 8 wedding films don’t chase perfection. They chase presence.
Haylee and David wanted a wedding that felt nostalgic yet true to their story. We leaned into the charm of analog: the sound of a film reel clicking away behind the lens, the magic of light leaks, and those unmistakable sprocket holes that framed their love like an art piece. The result? A dreamy, retro-modern wedding film that captured all the unrepeatable in between moments most digital formats overlook. As a Sarasota wedding videographer who still believes in the power of analog, this one hit different.
Filming their day solely on Super 8 was a choice that gave their wedding day an intimacy that digital just can’t replicate. It’s grainy and imperfect in all the right ways, like flipping through your grandparents’ photo albums but in motion. If you’re a couple dreaming of something different, something that doesn’t feel like everyone else’s wedding film, Super 8 wedding videography might just be the perfect match.
And if you’re looking for a Sarasota wedding photographer or filmmaker who still shoots like it’s 1976, I’d love to chat!
