Bring the Magic of Super 8 Videography to your Wedding in Dorset

From the sinuous hills of the countryside to the Jurassic Coast, Dorset is full of romantic and dramatic backdrops that look wonderful on Super 8. The format really brings out the textures of the landscape, the softness of sunsets, and the beauty of seaside towns and historic buildings. 

Whether you’re planning a countryside wedding, a Jane Austen style cliff-top affair or a classic celebration at a historic house, Dorset’s natural beauty and timeless charm pair perfectly with the character of analogue film.

Why Choose Me for Your Big Day?

A True Documentary Approach

I’m a documentary photographer at heart, and I love photographing people, so weddings are a perfect match for me.

Based in the Devon and Cornwall area, I am no stranger to the wild beauty (and unpredictable weather!) of the South West. I bring a calm presence and an observant eye, quietly capturing the laughter and deep emotions of the day without ever intruding.

My work isn’t about staged moments or posing to perfection. It’s about honest, beautiful storytelling, told through the medium of both digital and analogue.

Benefit From Both Photography and Super 8

I don’t just offer Super 8 films, but I’m also a skilled wedding photographer who shoots on digital cameras, 35mm film, and of course, Super 8 video cameras. This means your wedding memories aren’t just recorded; they will be a work of art.

My Super 8 films feel like mini-movies of your day, full of warmth, intimacy and character. And when paired with photographs — especially ones shot on real 35mm film — you’re left with a collection that feels cohesive, curated, and entirely unique.

More Than Just a Video 

Most wedding footage lives on a hard drive or social media. Often, that means it’s rarely seen in the most moving way. Super 8 offers something different. Something tangible. Something that feels crafted.

My Super 8 films are designed to be cherished for decades. They’re not just for now; they’re for anniversaries, for future generations. For when the years have passed and you wish to relive that one unforgettable day. 

It’s a format that ages beautifully, just like your love story.

And when paired with my printed photographs from full-size cameras, you’re left with work that can truly be kept and treasured forever.

Capturing those Candid Moments

I believe one of my greatest strengths is my ability to capture the unscripted. I work hard to capture people’s weddings in the most moving way. The incidental and unexpected, the stunning and emotional, and everything in between.

This is where Super 8 shines. The medium itself encourages a more relaxed, observational style. It’s not about setting up scenes: it’s about catching them as they naturally unfold. A flower girl dancing on the grass. A parent wiping away tears. You and your partner sneaking a kiss as the sun sets. 

These are the golden moments that make your day yours, and they’re the moments I seek to capture.

A Wedding Film Unique to You

Forget about filters, templates, or cookie-cutter edits. Just you, your people, your day as it really was.

I don’t want to do ‘just another wedding video’. I seek to create films with soul. Whether you’re planning a relaxed barn wedding, an adventurous coastal ceremony, or an elegant garden party in Dorset, Harley tailors each film to reflect your story and your vibe.

You get something beautiful, honest, and entirely yours.
