Wedding Blog
My love affair with Super8 began 5 years ago (I know, longer than my relationship with the mans) when I was researching videographers for my sister’s wedding. Just when I thought I couldn’t watch another 5 minute recap of a stranger’s wedding, I came across Wilson Fontaine and immediately fell in love with her work – see for yourself on her site:
The emotion that comes through in her work is unbelievable. I bookmarked her site on my laptop five years ago – and even though that laptop didn’t survive, my memories of Wilson’s films did. Right after we secured our venue, we met with Wilson. The mans was equally impressed, and we booked her immediately.
Did you find any vendors waaaaay before it was time to start planning?

I found the local, Austin letterpress shop, Vertallee, several months before I even started dating my fiance. I had been looking for interesting art classes to fill my evening (sadly, they have none). As soon as my FH and I started talking marriage prep, I knew I wanted them to print my wedding announcements. I was so happy when my FH agreed with me - this was the first vendor we started negotiating a contract with - and long before we found our other vendors. In the end, I’m thrilled with the resulting announcements!
Ditto on the Super 8 LOVE! I cannot wait to see your video… hurry up can get married, would yah?
omigosh, hamster. i thought the videography was something i could definitely cut from my future budget…until i saw this. how could you do this to me?!? now i’ll be lusting after her work until i get engaged!
Man, I love some super 8 too! I don’t even want to let myself watch the video because I know it’s not in my budget so I just need to stay away!
We really wanted to DIY super 8, but our camera was broken! I can’t wait to see your film, it will be beautiful!
oh wow… I’m speechless! So gorgeous! I’ve done some research on super 8 too (mainly because he’s a cinephile, and I love the vintagey look), and I’m in looove with this guy’s work:

so cool you got her booked so early!
I love super8 so much. 
I fell in love with OLoL before planning/engagement. :p
I have been stalking, er, reading, my photographer’s blog for the last four or five years… I KNEW I had to book her, when we finally decided on a date last June!
considering i’m here and not engaged yet, i sure did find vendors before planning! it’s always nice to have a good list to start from!
I love super8, too. :sigh: It’s just so beautiful.
I researched photogs way, way before I met Mr. French Fries. It was super important to me, and I’m so excited about our choice!
I love super 8 as well and that was also the vendor that I KNEW I had to have (even before I met my fiance). I had seen lots of videographers (being a wedding planner) but my videographer was the first where I watched it and didn’t know anyone in the video and cried because it was so touching.
For you Texas brides (or destination brides like me looking to have him travel) check out Mason Jar Films (www.masonjarfilms.com). He shoots in super 8, 16mm and hi def. SWOON! I can’t wait for my wedding video..guess I should probably have the wedding first.
I promise he isn’t paying me. He’s just that awesome.
[...] my last video post, I introduced you to our lovely videographer, Wilson Fontaine. One of the cool things that Wilson does is incorporate more casual, pre-wedding footage with the [...]

About Me: I'm an original Jersey girl living it up in the big NYC! I love baking for others, hosting brunches, and exploring NYC with my mans. Besides Mr. Hamster (of course), I'm attracted to shiny things, bold colors, snacks, matching and coordination, pork and duck fats, miniature versions of things, corny jokes and puns. We are planning a swanky Spring wedding in the heart of NYC, followed by a second reception in Singapore. From one city that never sleeps to another - I can't imagine a more exciting ride!
