Looking for a unique vintage vibe? You've found it! Only real film here - not digital video. Nothing else looks the same! Nobody else here offers it! Memento Pictures will capture your wedding on genuine Kodak cine film, and provide you with a digital scan in a file format you can easily share with family and friends. The mix of vintage cameras and modern Super 8 film creates a wonderful blend of nostalgic charm and visual delight that digital filters simply cannot replicate.


The warmth and personality of cine film are very different to digital video and so it is ideal for those couples seeking something different and remarkable to capture the unrepeatable moments of your special day. Imagine you and your partner starring in your own film - a unique creation you will always treasure!


In addition to the Super 8 cine film coverage of the moments that are important to you, every booking includes a selection of Polaroid still photographs of you and your relatives or guests. If you'd like to know more about this exciting analogue alternative to the digital mainstream, please get in touch. It would be helpful if you could include in your enquiry the details that are most important for you to know. Let's get onto a Zoom call so I can learn all about your plans for the celebration and your vision for the film!

Memento Pictures is a wedding film business based in Birmingham, West Midlands.

Wedding video

Stephen did our wedding video to help build is portfolio we have great conversations about what was wanted and what wasn’t. We did have some mishaps along the way but the evening reception film came out lovely and something we enjoy to watch.
Thankyou for being apart of our day 🙂

All I can say is wow!

We had an amazing experience with Stephen doing the videography for our ceremony. He was extremely communicative and very knowledgeable and you could tell he was extremely passionate about using the Super Cine 8 to capture our wedding.
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 also took some Polaroids which were sent to us promptly and sent us the physical reel that had been developed as well as the digital version. He was very accommodating with changing the music to suit our taste as well.

All around a lovely experience and well worth the money!

A professional yet personalised service, Stephen at Memento Pictures is a true perfectionist and has produced a beautiful film.

We had the delight of having Stephen from Memento Pictures at our wedding to capture moments from our special day. Stephen took the time prior to the day to get to know us and to understand what was important to us. This enabled him to truly tailor the service he gave us and subsequently the film he produced reflected that. He was discreet and was effortless in his approach. I love that he made the effort to capture the elements of the day which were important to us and not just what typical photographers capture.

His film style (Super 8) is magical! It suits special events because the focus is on the imagery and it makes for quite an emotive watch. I love that the film style is vintage inspired but is yet modern (and different to the norm wedding videography!)

Communication was clear from the beginning and we never had to remind Stephen about anything which was really reassuring!

Thank you Stephen for capturing moments from our wedding which will last a life time. I can’t recommend Memento Pictures enough and I would highly recommend booking for your special day - unlike cake and flowers, his film is something you can cherish forever!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.

Welcome to my Hitched page! I'm passionate about filmmaking in general and filming your wedding in particular.

After teaching film production technology (including Super 8) at Birmingham City University for more than a decade I was looking to replace the satisfaction I got from seeing my students achieve their goals with something equally satisfying - helping you and your partner achieve your goal - a unique record of your ceremony and celebrations in a film made with a love and devotion to match your own .

So once again I am doing the two things I love - making films and making dreams come true. Get in touch and tell me about your vision for the film and let's make it happen together!
