Joselyn & Dylan – A Super 8 Wedding Film at Liberty House | Liberty State Park, Jersey City, NJ
Some couples want sharp. Some couples want feeling. Joselyn and Dylan chose feeling – and they went all in.
Their wedding at Liberty House in Liberty State Park, Jersey City was filmed entirely on Super 8 vintage film, and the result is exactly what this format was made for: a warm, grainy, deeply nostalgic wedding film that looks like it was pulled straight from a home movie archive – in the best possible way.
Why Shoot an Entire Wedding on Super 8?
As a Super 8 wedding videographer in NJ, I’ve used vintage film alongside digital cameras for many couples. But occasionally, a couple comes along whose entire aesthetic – their style, their vibe, their love story – is just made for film.
Joselyn and Dylan were that couple.
Super 8 film does something no digital camera can fake. It:
- Renders skin tones with a warmth that feels almost tactile
- Adds a gentle grain that makes every frame feel handcrafted
- Slows the viewer down, making them feel the moment rather than just watch it
- Captures light — candles, chandeliers, golden hour — in a way that glows organically
When you watch this film, it doesn’t look like a wedding video. It looks like a memory.
Liberty House: The Perfect Venue for a Vintage Film Wedding
Liberty House is one of the most iconic wedding venues in all of New Jersey. Perched on the waterfront inside Liberty State Park, it offers sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline, the Statue of Liberty, and the Hudson River. For a Super 8 wedding film in NJ, the location couldn’t be more perfect – the architecture, the waterfront light, and the grand interiors all photograph beautifully on film stock.
A winter wedding here means soft, diffused natural light filtering through the venue’s large windows – exactly the kind of light that makes Super 8 footage look absolutely magical.
What to Expect from a Super 8 Wedding Film
If you’re considering hiring a Super 8 wedding videographer in NJ, here’s what the process looks like:
- I shoot on a vintage Super 8 camera loaded with professional film stock
- Film is sent to a lab for development and professional scanning
- Footage is color graded and edited into a cohesive, cinematic film
- The final result has a timeless, analog quality that digital simply cannot replicate
The turnaround is worth every day of waiting.
