About

Vintage-style Super 8 film, modern videography, and photography for weddings and events to remember…

Nostalgia Film preserves memories and creates treasured heirlooms that capture emotions for generations and are infinitely watchable.

Nostalgia Film-based in Austin, Texas-specializes in Super 8mm film shot with vintage professional Super 8 film cameras and cinematic-style wedding videography shot on HD videocameras and combines the two for a Hybrid film that will be a treasured heirloom for generations.

Additionally Nostalgia Film photographs weddings and portraits both digitally and on film.

Nostalgia Film loves the sweet, the quirky, the sentimental, the spontaneous, the witty and the whimsical over the cheesy, long-winded videos of the past. We shoot unobtrusively, and like to connect with you and help you feel comfortable with the cameras, and that comes across in our films and photography. We love to shoot on Super 8mm film with vintage professional film cameras because of the magical, dreamy, and evocative nature and vintage sensibilities. We love photographing on 35mm and 120 film for the same reasons…

Watch our wedding films and view our photography, and you'll see that our style and approach are different. We'll work with you closely to capture the moments and feelings for a film or wedding photography collection that you will love for many, many years to come. Contact us today!

Nostalgia Film was my favorite part of our wedding, they're artists! They captured every moment of our day and were so comfortable and friendly to be around. We chose the Super8mm package and the final product is more than we could have imagined, it is so beautiful. My only regret is not choosing a package with more film hours, it is completely worth the investment and I would recommend Nostalgia to everyone

Shanna and Michael were awesome to work with! Very easy to coordinate with pre-event and post with questions, changing addresses, etc. My husband and I went with a combination 8mm and HD video package, which was such a cool service option! The older style film fit so well with our concept and style, but we got the clarity and intelligibility of the HD for the really important moments. They put together several videos for us, all available online and hard copy. I would definitely recommend this dynamic duo to friends and family!

I cannot say enough great things about Nostalgia Film! Shanna and Michael are true artists at what they do and are extremely personable. They were actually recommended to me by my photographer and I am so glad she did. They are extremely creative and exactly what I was looking for. They use super 8mm film which definitely sets them apart from most videographers. If you are looking for a different, artistic take on videography, then look no further than Nostalgia Film!

If you are thinking of using a videographer, please, do yourself a favor and hire Nostalgia Film. Shanna and Mike are beyond compare. Besides being two of the best people we have ever met, their talent is incredible. We have watched our film over and over. The first time we watched Iooked over and my husband had tears in his eyes. Our friends and family have all had the same reaction. They also still ask me how Shanna and Mike are doing. They not only made a work of art for us, they made quite an impact on our guests. We got more than we ever expected. I have had a Holga image that Shanna shot made into a metal print that stops people in their tracks. They came to our hometown and captured it in the most beautiful way. They really listened and really "got" what we wanted. I told them i was like someone was in their ears telling them what we wanted. We were so touched by the way they connected with us and captured our day. You cannot put a price on the video or the images they provided us. We honestly still pinch ourselves. They made our wedding truly unforgettable.

We hired Nostalgia for our wedding in Dripping Springs, Texas at Vista West Ranch. Shanna & Michael were amazing all the way from planning through the delivery of our most beautiful and lusciously unique films.

I am in love with them and cry and laugh while watching them. Nothing other than 8mm would have worked for us. I love all the perfect imperfections of 8mm film and they have such a command and grasp of the film and how to weave it all together in the editing process.

They were able to easily accommodate us by creating a package that fit our two day wedding and listened to all my direction about what was important to us. They did all of this so beautifully and I am thrilled that we hired them and want to hire them again and again for further parties.

They are worth more than they charge and well, as people they are just delightfully yummy!!! So you will have fun having them be a part of your celebration.

Call them!!

Nostalgia Film was an absolute joy to work with. I can't say enough good things! Shanna and Michael might be the two most sweetest, easy going people you'll ever meet. Not to mention they're quite talented! We told them our vision and they captured it flawlessly. They are simply pros with Super 8 film and editing the final project. If you're looking for a vendor who goes above and beyond, Nostalgia Film does just that.

My hubby and I loved working with Shanna and Michael. They were awesome! We are premiering our video and all the raw footage by inviting our family and friends. I am so happy to have had a super8 video so unique and fun to gather everyone we love around and share forever with my husband! Not only did they listen intently to our dreams for the video, (when we recieved the video we were completely surprised that they chose music we had completely forgotten having told them were "OUR SONGS"), they responded quickly when we had questions and were very professional and pleasant to work with!

I highly recommend! Thanks Micheal and Shanna!

To capture your special event, look no further than NOSTALGIA FILM!!

We couldn't have stumbled upon a more talented, visionary, hilarious, cool, and creative company to film our big day. We struggled with hiring a videographer for our wedding, not because we didn't want one...but because we were so spent from everything else. After tapping many shoulders for advice, and scouring site after site, we decided to go for it. Advice from 99% of our friends was, "You are sooo busy that day, you don't catch everything". They were right and we are SO THANKFUL we hired Nostalgia.

We have both Super 8 and HD footage to cherish forever. They captured moments we completely missed as well as those we recall and want to watch over and over. And to top it all off they are so open to your ideas, yet are so freakin creative you'll smile, cry, and laugh throughout the whole thing. So many wonderful touches were added we weren't expecting. Such a treat! We loved working with Shanna and Michael and would do it again in a heartbeat. Worth every penny (and more).
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Shanna and Michael offer a true alternative to the cheesy wedding videos we've all seen from the 90s and 00s. They shoot super 8 film and create that vintage look that we all remember from the opening credits of the Wonder Years tv show with Kevin Arnold and Winny Cooper. It looks old, it looks cool, the speed seems a little fast, everyone just looks happier somehow. Maybe it hearken's back to a simpler time, a better time, a time before iphone 9, tablets out the ying yang, stuff beeping everywhere. A time when we focused on the important stuff - love, friends... relationships. The guys at Nostalga Film can be your guides to finding that refuge of simple goodness.

I love, love, love the vintage 8 films. They ARE nostalgic for many of us baby boomers. They touch something very familiar in us that takes many of us back to our childhood. If your looking for something different look no further. Nostalgic Film company will create a video of your special day that will become a nostalgic memory maker for your life time of memories. Simply wonderful.
