It's £500, whichever camera you choose. That includes delivery and collection, a 5-minute film, a 1-minute Instagram Reel and the Full Camcorder Cut.

WANT A SUPER 8 STYLE FILM WITHOUT THE FAFF?

Film is everywhere right now, and it's all about the look: warm, grainy, a bit imperfect and full of nostalgia. But real Super 8 means pricey film, processing, and a camera only one person knows how to use. The vintage Handycams and the Fujifilm FinePix give you that same retro feel, just digital. There's nothing to develop and no film running out halfway through the speeches, and your guests can film and snap all day for a fraction of the cost.

HOW IT WORKS

From booking to your finished film.

⏺

BOOK YOUR DATE

Fill in the booking form with your wedding date, delivery address and display choice, then pay a £100 deposit to lock your date in.

📦

I SEND THE CAMERAS

I post two cameras out to you ahead of the wedding, fully charged and ready to go, with a small panel light and instruction postcards. Delivery is included, wherever in the UK you're getting married.

▶

YOUR GUESTS FILM THE DAY

Hand them to guests or set up a display area and let people pass them around. No instructions needed (although they're supplied), just point and press record.

📮

I COLLECT THEM

I arrange the collection from your home or work, so you don't have to do anything except be in or leave the box somewhere safe. Collection is included in the price.

⏏

RECEIVE YOUR FILM

I professionally edit all the footage into your finished 5-minute film, an Instagram Reel and the Full Camcorder Cut. You'll get the Reel asap and the final film within 4 weeks.

WANT RETRO PHOTOS TAKEN BY YOUR MATES TOO?

A digital camera with a film look by day and a direct-flash, 2000s nightclub look by night. Passing it round is a fun all-day activity and very on trend right now. Hand it to your guests at the start of the day and let them go, then get every single photo delivered after. Add a Fujifilm FinePix to any hire package for £50.

The video is fun, full of love and laughter, and a reel of wonderful memories from the best day ever. It captures our wedding day so perfectly and makes us smile every time we watch it!

FAQS

DO YOU FILM THE FULL SPEECHES AND CEREMONY?

Director's Cut: Yes, but not perfectly. There's no tripod or mic, so it's all covered but in true home camcorder style. I do have a shotgun mic, but it doesn't amplify anything, it just cuts out external sound.

Camcorder hire: That's up to you and the guests you choose to hand the camcorders to! If the ceremony or speeches matter to you, ask a couple of trusted guests to make sure they're covered.

HOW LONG DO WE HAVE THE CAMERAS?

The cameras arrive a few days before your wedding and are collected a few days after, and I'll WhatsApp or email you to arrange days that suit you. That's room for postal disasters, time to get to know the cameras with no last-minute panic, and no rush to pack boxes the morning after. I arrange the courier, you just pop everything back in the box. Getting married abroad? Go for the extended hire. You'll usually be away for longer, flying out before the wedding and often staying on after, so you'll need the cameras for more than a few days. Take them with you, film the rest of your trip too and you'll get all that footage as well.

WHAT IF OUR FRIENDS WOULD RATHER JUST ENJOY THE DAY?

Filming is part of enjoying the day! It's a bit of fun, not a job. Couples often worry nobody will go for it, then their guests end up having the best time with the cameras. People get surprisingly into it, and it gets everyone mixing too.

IS THE FOOTAGE ACTUALLY VINTAGE, OR IS IT A FILTER?

Genuine hardware - real 2000s-era Sony Handycams, not a modern camera with a retro app filter applied afterward.

WHAT WILL WE RECEIVE?

Two digital camcorders, a small panel light for the darker footage such as the dancing, instruction postcards, and depending on what you choose on your booking form, a display case (an extra £50) of either a retro metal lunch box (so far I have ET and Jurassic Park available), a pile of VHS tape cases, a wicker hamper, or I can send it in a hard case and you can display how you like. I also include instruction postcards and two mini easels.

DO WE HAVE TO PAY A DEPOSIT?

Just £100 to lock in your date, with the rest due a month before the wedding (if your wedding is less than 5 weeks away, it's paid in full when you book). The £100 is non-refundable after the 14-day cooling-off period. There's no extra hold on your card for damage.

WHAT IF WE BREAK OR LOSE THEM?

Normal wear and tear (a scuff, a scratch) is completely fine - no charge. If a camera is damaged beyond that, lost, or not returned, you're responsible for the reasonable repair or replacement cost, capped at £150 per camcorder or £400 per DJI Pocket 4 (so up to double that if both are lost). If any damage payment is due, your finished film won't be delivered until that's settled - everything else about your booking stays exactly the same. I have tags on the cameras in case you lose them but try not to!

DOES IT WORK IN THE DARK, LIKE AT THE EVENING DO?

It'll pick up low light the way real 2000s camcorders always did - a bit grainy, a bit glowy. It's not built for pitch darkness, but that soft, imperfect evening look is exactly the vibe this whole thing is going for. I do include one panel light for very dark rooms though! There's no fun in having all black footage and it works really well on the dancefloor.

WILL WE RUN OUT OF MEMORY?

No chance. Every camera has loads of storage, so your guests can film all day and well into the evening without ever running out of space.
