FILM GRAIN AND LIGHT LEAKS ARE NOT EFFECTS. THEY ARE MEMORY.
I shoot Kodak motion picture film. Real Super 8mm and 16mm, hand-loaded, developed and scanned at a professional lab. Not a digital filter made to look like it. Super 8 cannot be polished or altered after the fact, and that is precisely why I use it. What the camera saw is what you keep.

Hello, I’m Andrew James Abajian. I’m a filmmaker and photographer based in Franklin, Tennessee and for the last 12 years I’ve filmed weddings on Kodak Super 8mm film.
I shoot film because it keeps what actually happened: the light, the movement, and the small moments you’ll want to see again in thirty years. I pair it with 4K digital, so along with the warm feeling of the day, you'll also have the added cinematic experience that digital can offer.
My background is in directing, cinematography and photography for brands, advertising and documentary, including nonprofit stories overseas. I bring that same preparation to your wedding. I plan ahead, work quietly, and stay out of the way so you can be present with the people you love.
I’ve been married twelve years and I’m a dad to two little girls, so I know how much this day means. I’d love to hear about yours.
As seen in Today, People, ESPN, Harper’s Bazaar and Martha Stewart.
