Hello Super 8 | Real New York Wedding {Video!} at St. Patrick's Cathedral + Studio 450

I'm often asked what I would do differently if I was to plan my wedding all over again. And though I have such great memories of our day, my a-number-one answer is that I absolutely regret not having video.
Not being "in the industry" at the time, my pre-wedding dreams were haunted by of visions of an in-your-face, cheesy videographer petrifying guests with his fuzzy mic and monstrous camera. I hadn't known about all the artful wedding documentary styles out there... and I certainly didn't know about Hello Super 8.
Now that I'm more "in the know" on weddings, I'd probably do a few things differently on my big day. And on the top of that list would be calling Megan Hill.
In 2007, Megan {then a graphic designer with a background in the entertainment industry} had the fabu idea of dusting off her old super 8 camera to film her friend's wedding... and from there a tres-genius idea was born.

Megan and her team of NYC and LA-based cinematographers capture their clients' weddings on stylish super 8 films that are are totally charming and completely unique, with artful results I just adore. They cater to people who are looking for something a little different to the typical wedding video {no faded edges, no swelling cheesy music, no flying hearts or angels - hooray!}... Just beautifully tasteful moving images that allow you to remember the day as it really FELT.
Anywho {at the risk of sounding eerily reading-rainbow-esque}, you don't need to take my word for it... Just take a peek at this gorgeous super 8 wedding Megan filmed at St. Patrick's Cathedral and Studio 450. Totally. To. Die. For.

Heather & Craig's wedding was the perfect Manhattan celebration. They saw each other for the first time that day at Battery Park, where they also had one of their first dates. The weather was fantastic for the super fun photo shoot. They were then whisked away uptown to wed in the magnificent St. Patrick's Cathedral. The space was overwhelming but the lighthearted ceremony was remarkably intimate for being in such a grand cathedral. And from there, the party got started at Studio 450 right across the island.
I loved that space. It was so clean, white and bright... the ideal loft space to hold a rocking party. Heather & Craig both looked so happy all day, enjoying themselves to the fullest. I really adored this couple. My favorite part of the day was when we took them to the very top of the roof, overlooking all of New York at sunset to steal a few more super 8 moments. And how can you go wrong with one of Heather's favorite songs, "Catch the Wind" by Donovan {the perfect compliment to evoking super 8 nostalgia!}?
