HAND CRAFTING WEDDING FILMS FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO RELIVE THEIR WEDDING DAY THROUGH A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE. THROUGH 8MM AND 16MM, WE’RE ABLE TO USE THE WARMTH OF THE PAST TO TELL THE STORY OF THE PRESENT.

The why behind a wedding video

THAT FEELING YOU HAVE WHEN YOU WATCH YOUR PARENTS WEDDING VIDEO. YOU’RE ABLE TO SEE THE JOY, HEAR THE LAUGHTER, AND SEE THE TEARS. THAT’S WHAT WEDDINGS ARE TRULY ABOUT. NO SLO MO, NO DIRECTION, JUST TRUTHFUL DOCUMENTATION.

YOUR WEDDING HAPPENS ONCE, AND ITS INTENDED TO BE DOCUMENTED PROPERLY. YOU NEED TO SEE, HEAR, AND EXPERIENCE ALL THE EMOTION LIKE YOU WERE THERE THE FIRST TIME.

“We truly cannot say enough good things about Drake. From the moment we met him, he was incredibly kind, calming, and easy to be around. He made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire day, especially my fiancé, who isn’t the most comfortable in front of a camera. Drake had such a natural way of putting him at ease, and honestly, it was just really nice having another “dude” around who made the experience feel relaxed and fun rather than awkward or forced.

On top of that, Drake’s work is absolutely incredible. We constantly watch our Super 8 film and we can’t help but get emotional everytime we watch it. We are beyond grateful for his talent, professionalism, and the care he put into telling our story. If you’re considering Drake, do it! You truly will not regret it!

We’re so grateful to now have these memories captured in a way we can cherish forever and pass down to our future family.”

Love,

Houaka and Will

STEP ONE

Let’s connect! You’ll fill out my form and tell me all about your wedding day, from friends and family, to what you’re most excited about. I love to hear all about the little details to tell your story as best as I creatively can.

STEP TWO

I’ll send you my Investment Guide as soon as I can so you can take a look at the collections I have to offer. We’ll then set up a FaceTime or a Zoom Story Session Meeting to get to know each other and to figure out how I can best serve you on the big day.

STEP THREE

After we have the call and we both agree that it’s a good fit, I’ll send over a contract and a payment plan for you to look at. No need to rush into anything, and feel free to let me know if you have any questions! I’ll be on the other side of the screen stoked to be able to work with you and create a film tailored to you.

Frequently asked questions.

  • Great question!

    Super 8 is an analog motion-picture film format that was first introduced by Kodak in 1965.

    • Super 8 offers a slower and more intentional option over digital videography, capturing unique moments and feelings.

    • One roll of film is 50 feet in length - depending on how many frames-per-second, one roll can range from 2 and 1/2 minutes to 3 minutes 20 seconds long.

  • In the contract that I send over before we book, It states that my turnaround time is around 3-4 months. This allows me to take time and perfectly craft your film.

  • With add ons, couples typically spend around $7,500.

  • Great question! I know RAW footage is so important, so I offer it as an add-on in the Investment Guide I send over beforehand.

  • I always ask that you and your fiancé are both on the call to go over any questions, so nothing gets lost in translation! Be yourself, ask questions you may have, don’t worry about asking too many, I’m here to help you throughout the entire process :)

  • Drake Buffington Films is located in Boise, Idaho but traveling all over the world to document incredible wedding weekends.
