Super 16mm Analog Film Travel Destination Wedding at Etre Farms | St. Joseph, Michigan
There is an undeniable magic to capturing a wedding on real analog motion picture film. Kat and Max’s destination wedding at Etre Farms in St. Joseph, Michigan, was an absolute dream project. As a Midwest-native travel wedding videographer and filmmaker, returning to shoot along the stunning shores of Lake Michigan with a Krasnogorsk-3 (K3) Super 16mm camera was an incredible experience.
Kat and Max brought effortless style, intentional floral design, and ultra-chill energy to their big day. Between their impeccable aesthetic, Melissa Stickney’s analog photography, and our joint creative flow, nearly every frame of this film belongs on a timeless wedding mood board.
The Beauty of Real 16mm Motion Picture Film
Unlike digital video, shooting 100% on analog film delivers authentic grain, rich color tones, and an unmatched nostalgia. For Kat and Max's film, I loaded up two distinct film stocks: Kodak Vision3 250D for crisp daylight scenes and Kodak Vision3 500T for warm, rich evening lighting.
