About Hello Super Studios
Super 8 Wedding Films in New York & France
We are a small team of wedding filmmakers based in New York and France, dedicated to documenting celebrations with real film. Because we’ve been capturing events with super 8 film for well over a decade, you could call us experts (or maybe just film nerds). We’re obsessed with the feel-good nostalgic vibes, the warm grainy tones and the timeless romantic feelings that only analog film produces. We believe that love on film is the ideal medium to transport you back to that very time and place, allowing you to feel true emotions all over again.
Services Offered
We like to keep things simple. Select either a pure super 8 film or opt to include digital HD video scenes with audio recording of the important moments that you might like to preserve in full. We also have options for micro weddings, elopements, proposals and honeymoons.
Film Love
Nostalgic & timeless. Your day will be beautifully captured on super 8 film then expertly edited to music. No extra frills, just pure film magic which will let you relive the feelings all over again. *Super 8 is a silent medium but we do offer audio recording as an add-on option.
Modern Love
With this package you get the best of both worlds—your day captured on super 8 film and creatively edited to music + digital HD video and audio recording of your ceremony, first dance/parent dances and toasts. All full digital scenes are included as separate films.
Micro weddings, Elopements & Proposals
A short and sweet super 8 film is the perfect way to relive and share your intimate wedding, elopement or proposal. With just a couple hours of coverage, we will discuss the possibilities to capture and to preserve this special occasion.
DIY Honeymoon Film
Take one of our easy-to-use vintage cameras with a few rolls of film on your honeymoon to capture this once in a lifetime vacation. We send off your exposed film to the lab then expertly edit it to music.

We specialize in all types of ceremonies including but not limited to Jewish, Indian, Chinese, mixed culture, LGBTQ+, as well as elopements, multi-day celebrations, destination weddings, non-religious, etc. Basically we love love and celebrate all of it everywhere!
We have teams based in Brooklyn, NY and near Toulouse, France. We mostly serve the Northeast in the US and all over France and Europe. We especially love working in the Southwest of France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece and the UK.
We love to have a chat over the phone or by video to meet and find out more about your wedding plans and to tell you about our work and our process. If we seem like a good fit and you’d like to book the date, we require a signed digital contract and a 50% retainer fee to reserve your date.
We typically book 1 year out but if we have availability, we can be booked as early as 2 months before your date. Our prime weekend date book up fast so it’s best to book in advance.
How long have you been in business and why are qualified to film my wedding? We like to think of ourselves as the OG’s of super 8 wedding films. We were one of the first companies to shoot weddings exclusively on film and have been keeping the medium alive since 2009! We love seeing the resurgence of film for a younger generation but that also comes with people offering wedding films on super 8 without really knowing how much thought and attention goes into it. We’ve seen a lot of sloppy work out there but super 8 can be so cinematic and beautiful if shot properly! We try to make the best work possible for our clients so that the films can be enjoyed for years to come (not just be part of a trend).
We truly love multi-cultural weddings! Seeing two cultures come together with families from totally different background, both sharing different traditions to become one big family is always so heartwarmingly beautiful!
We also love LGBTQ+ celebrations – one specifically meaningful wedding we shot was the day that the same-sex marriages were legalized in the US in 2015. It was especially poignant to be filming a queer wedding on that very day!
For elopements we start at $3500, full weddings start at $7500. Our rates are based on the high cost of film, our 16 years of experience and our dedication to producing excellent 5-star work for our clients.
We’ve been in the business for a long time, and with that kind of experience, dedication to creating excellent films for our clients and receiving nothing but great reviews, we feel our rates are justified. We also capture weddings exclusively on super 8 film which is not cheap but worth it!
