The only person here shooting genuine Kodak cine film!
Bored watching one humdrum wedding video after another as you search for a videographer who's right for you? You've found the solution! I'm a filmmaker not a videographer. I use vintage film cameras and Super 8 analogue film for the nostalgic vibe and dreamy colours that digital just can't match. I can add music to your film but I don't record sound - only pictures. Need sound from ceremony and speeches recorded? Please hire a videographer.
Memento Pictures Pricing & Costs
£700 - £1,100
All my packages include film stock, laboratory processing, scanning, editing, colour grading and the addition of licensed music (if requested). Travel is also included so there are no hidden extras. As an added bonus all packages include five Polaroid photographs as physical keepsakes to have and hold! I named my packages after feature films… BRIEF ENCOUNTER - £700 The best choice when you need just the essentials: five hours to shoot the ceremony, the first kiss, the signing, the confetti, all of your guests celebrating the joy and happiness with you both. Three-to-four-minute highlight film. One of my most popular packages! THE GO-BETWEEN - £900 So called because it goes between my shortest and longest packages, this one includes my attendance for seven hours and is perfect if you’ve not finalised your decision on what you would like included in the film and need some wriggle room on the day! The most memorable parts of your celebration edited into a four-to-five-minute highlight film. THE FULL MONTY - £1100 Everything from bridal prep to first dance and cutting of the cake! I’ll be there for ten hours to make sure everything important to you on the day is captured in the wonderful colours and nostalgic warmth of Kodak Super 8 cine film. All of the day’s excitement and enjoyment edited into a five-to-seven-minute film.

All I can say is 'Wow!'
We had an amazing experience with Stephen doing the filming for our ceremony. He was extremely communicative and very knowledgeable and you could tell he was passionate about using film! Stephen was very professional and managed to get all of the moments that the photographer didn't and now we have an everlasting memory that we can watch whenever we want. He was very accommodating with changing the music to suit our taste as well. All around a lovely experience and well worth the money!

His film style is magical!
Stephen took the time to get to know us and to understand what was important to us. He was discreet and effortless in his approach. I love that he captured the elements of the day which were important to us and not just what typical videographers capture. I love that the film style is vintage inspired! I can’t recommend Stephen enough and I would highly recommend booking him for your special day - unlike cake and flowers, his film is something you can cherish forever!

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

They are all memorable but usually for very different reasons!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Vintage. Retro. Authentic. Original. Memorable.

What about your business are you most proud of?

Keeping film shooting alive and well!

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Research your suppliers thoroughly and ask the right questions to make sure you receive what you expected.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

I like to meet my couples online to find out about their vision for the film they want me to make. I need to make sure they understand what I do (not the technology but the look and feel) because Super 8 cine film may not be the best choice for them and if that's the case I'll let them know. If the couple think I'm a good fit we can move on to discussing the package which is right for their vision and budget. Once we agree I'll send a contract and if they are happy with that then I ask for a small deposit to secure their date. I will request another meeting a few weeks before the wedding day to check whether anything has changed and adjust plans accordingly if that is the case. Then I arrive on the big day to shoot the film! No faff and no surprises...

What is the one film you wish you had directed and why?

'Heat' - because then I'd be Michael Mann!

What is your favourite soundtrack to put to a wedding video?

The one which best captures the couple's energy and mood on their day.

Describe how you got into videography.

I taught film production technology at Birmingham City University for over twenty years before leaving to set up Memento Pictures. But I first fell in love with film aged 12 when my Dad bought his first Super 8 camera!
