About US
Film is timeless…
A photochemical miracle… A melody of soft colors, gentle light and grain working in synch for over 125 years.
We specialize only in the raw nostalgic beauty of 16MM and Super 8 film to turn your moments into tactile memories.
Our goal is for the finished film to less resemble a wedding movie, and more a living heirloom to cherish for the rest of your life.
This is not an AI imitation or converted digital footage. We use authentic Kodak film with vintage cameras.
Only the real thing.
Based in Los Angles (but available throughout Southern California & The USA) BILL brings over a decade of industry experience and a lifetime love affair of film to your wedding or event.
Let us make an unabashedly authentic portrait of your best day.
Whether you’re planning an intimate affair or the biggest day of your life, we would love to be there!
Send us a message & let’s get it on the books!
