Why We Still Shoot Film (Yes, Actual Film) – And Why You’ll Be Obsessed With It Too

Let’s get one thing out of the way: Yes, we still shoot film. Like, real film. The kind your parents got excited about when they picked up prints from the drugstore. The kind you couldn’t “delete and try again.” The kind that makes every shot feel intentional, imperfect, and totally magical.

At Fedora Media, we’re known for our cinematic wedding films, full-service photo + video teams, and our signature “stress-free” vibe (seriously, it’s kind of our thing). But today we’re here to talk about one of our true loves: film photography.

The Romance of Film (No Filter Needed)

There’s something about film that digital just can’t touch. Maybe it’s the texture. The softness. The way the light blooms around you like a memory already in progress. Film doesn’t just capture what your wedding looked like—it captures how it felt. It’s grainy. It’s glowy. It’s unpredictable in the most beautiful way. And when you see your wedding day on film? You’ll want to frame every single photo.

Super 8 Called—It Wants to Make Your Heart Melt

We don’t just do stills. If you really want to swoon, let’s talk Super 8. Imagine your love story playing like an old home movie from the '70s—soft-focus, dreamy colors, and all the romantic nostalgia your heart can handle. We create custom Super 8 film edits that give you that vintage vibe, minus the VHS rewind nightmare. The result? A highlight film that looks like it was pulled from your grandparents’ attic and set to the most perfectly curated soundtrack. It’s fun, it’s emotional, and it’s unlike anything you’ve seen.

So... Why Fedora?

Let’s be honest. There are a lot of wedding photographers and videographers out there. But at Fedora Media, we’re not here to just snap pretty pictures. We’re here to tell stories. Your story. With all the real moments, belly laughs, happy tears, chaotic dance moves, and stolen glances. Whether we’re shooting digital, film, or both—we do it with intention, style, and a whole lot of heart. Plus, we’re super fun to hang out with on your wedding day. Just saying.

Film is Back. And It’s Cooler Than Ever.

Film photography is more than a trend—it’s a vibe. It’s a whole experience. And if you’re the kind of couple who loves the idea of timeless over trendy, real over retouched, and feeling over faking... you just might be film people. So let’s chat. We’ll bring the cameras. You bring the love story.
