This was an Indianapolis Wedding we filmed at Christ's Church Cathedral, which is one of our top 3 favorite churches to shoot at. The wedding of Erica and Paul was beautiful. They were great clients to work with. This was shot in HD and we also pulled out the Super 8 camera. The Super 8 is a circa 1965 Canon. We order our film on a short term as needed basis from California and the telecine work is also done in California. I love the texture that this gives to the video. Film is expensive to shoot and edit but well worth it if you are looking for something to set your wedding apart from all the others. Some questions we get are: Do we shoot an entire wedding in Super 8 or 16mm? When the client wants primary Super 8 or 16mm, approximately 60% of it is shot in that format, video is also utilized. Why is it so expensive? First the film supply is not overly robust so the film stock cost is high coupled with development of the film and any special effects. In addition, it takes more skill to shoot film and to expose it correctly. We have several more of these to shoot this year. In October, we will be in New Orleans to shoot some Super 8, 16mm and will be anxious to share some of the French Quarter footage.

We had a great time with Erica and Paul and enjoyed shooting with Erin Hession of Erin Hession Photography. Thanks to Erin for a few photos to use for Erica and Paul's DVD and cover. As usual, the Columbia Club was a great reception venue to top off the day.
