SC.02 · INT. YOUR LIVING ROOM · SIX MONTHS LATER

The Heartline
experience

Most couples tell us the same thing: they thought photos would be enough. Then six months later, they wished they could hear the vows again. Or watch their dad's face during the first dance. A film keeps all of that.

Full-Day Coverage

The Feature and The Director's Cut run your whole day, from getting ready through your grand exit, with no clock on it. The Short is six hours you place where you want them.

Free Editing Revisions

It's YOUR wedding film, not ours. We'll work with you until it's exactly how you want it.

15+ Years Behind the Camera

We've filmed over 250 weddings across the Carolinas. We know how your day flows and which moments will matter most in 20 years.

CAN 03

The Director's Cut

Both of us, all day

$6,500

≈ $379/mo after retainer*

  • Everything in The Feature, plus:
  • Both of us filming your day
  • Drone footage
  • Full speeches & toasts edit (standalone video)
  • Two rolls of authentic Super 8mm film (not a filter)

Super 8 takes a second pair of hands; one of us runs the film camera while the other stays on digital. That's why film starts here. Every vow, every toast, two angles, real film.

See If Your Date Is Open

The Short runs six hours and you choose where they sit. Extra hours are $400 each, arranged while you're planning. Past three or four of them, The Feature costs less.

SC.04 · INT. THE LOADING ROOM · HOW MANY ROLLS

How much of your day
on film?

Every roll of Super 8 holds about three minutes. Once you're in The Director's Cut, you can load more of them. Digital keeps rolling underneath the whole time, so nothing about your ceremony or your toasts rides on a single cartridge.

Two rolls

Included

with The Director's Cut · $6,500

We save it for the moments that carry the day: the first look, walking down the aisle, the kiss, golden hour, the reception entrance.

Six rolls

$7,500

≈ $438/mo after retainer*

Film running through the whole day instead of just the highlights. Getting ready, portraits, dancing, the exit. About eighteen minutes of Super 8 to cut from.

Ten rolls · The Reel

$8,500

≈ $496/mo after retainer*

Super 8 becomes the main camera and your highlight film is cut on film. You still get the full ceremony and speeches edits from digital, so the whole day is covered twice.

What couples say

“Our wedding videos were done with so much care and intentionality and captured our day better than we could have ever imagined.”

Lexi Rudolph

“It is one year after our wedding and my wife and I are still watching the video; we watch it at least once a month. If you have the chance to hire them, do it!!!”

Andrew Reyes

“I want Kevin and Haley to be my best friends, not just my amazing wedding videographers! They both just SHOWED up from start to finish, and for that we were so thankful.”

Frequently asked
questions

The Short ($2,950) is six hours with one filmmaker, a 3–4 minute highlight film, and ceremony and vows audio. The Feature ($4,400) is full-day coverage with one filmmaker, a 5–8 minute highlight film, and a full standalone ceremony edit. The Director's Cut ($6,500) adds both of us filming, drone footage, a full speeches and toasts edit, and two rolls of authentic Super 8mm film. All three include 4K cameras, multi-source audio, professional editing and color grading, and free revisions. From The Director's Cut you can load more film: six rolls for $7,500, or ten rolls as The Reel for $8,500.

A 30% retainer secures your wedding date. The remaining balance is split into equal monthly payments over 12 months. For example, The Short works out to about $172 per month, The Feature about $257 per month, and The Director's Cut about $379 per month.

The Feature and The Director's Cut have no clock at all. We arrive when you need us for getting ready and stay through the reception. The Short is a set six hours and you choose where they sit. Before your day we map that window against your timeline, so a six-hour package that stops short of your exit gets caught in planning. Extra hours on The Short are $400 each, arranged in advance.

Our Super 8mm footage is shot on a real vintage camera using genuine Kodak film stock. The film is processed at a specialty lab and professionally scanned. Digital filters try to mimic the look, but they can't replicate the organic grain, natural light leaks, and warm color palette of real film. It's the difference between a reproduction and the real thing.

Highlight films are delivered within 14-16 weeks after your wedding date. Ceremony and speeches edits follow shortly after. If your package includes Super 8mm film, add about 4-5 weeks for lab processing. We take the time to craft each film carefully. No cookie-cutter edits.

Yes. Rehearsal dinner coverage is $600 an hour with a two hour minimum. It's worth thinking about if you have people flying in who won't all be in one room again.

Yes. We're based in Wilmington and Winston-Salem, and travel is included for most of North Carolina: Raleigh, Durham, Charlotte, the Triad, and the Crystal Coast. Asheville, Boone and the High Country, and the Outer Banks sit far enough out that we quote travel per wedding, and it's on your quote before you book. We also film destination weddings nationwide.
