The VHS Edition

Your wedding film, transferred onto a real, playable VHS tape, labelled with your names and the date. It arrives in a clamshell case like the ones stacked next to your parents' television in 1994. It is $219, and it is the least practical thing we sell.

That is entirely the point. The tape is the artefact, not the archive.

Why couples love it

The VHS Edition photographs ridiculously well, which is why it shows up in so many content creation reels and flat lays. But the real reason couples order it is quieter than that. Every other version of your wedding lives inside a device that will be obsolete in five years. The tape does not update, does not need charging, and does not care about file formats. It just sits there, being the day you got married.

It also happens to be the best wedding gift cheat code we know. Parents who grew up on home video get genuinely emotional handing them one.

Can you actually play it?

Yes, it is a real, working tape. If you have a VCR, or a grandparent with one, your wedding film plays exactly as it would have in 1994, soft edges and all. Most couples never play it, and that is fine. Its job is to exist.

Pairs well with

The VHS Edition sits naturally alongside our other analogue add-ons. Couples who order it usually also love Super 8 film, real motion picture film shot on the day, and 35mm photography. Together they make the whole wedding feel like a memory even while it is still happening.

Frequently asked questions

Is it a real VHS tape or just a case? A real, playable tape. The film is genuinely transferred onto it.

Do we still get our digital wedding film? Yes, the VHS is an addition, never a replacement. Your full quality digital film is delivered as normal.

Can we order more than one? Absolutely. Extra tapes for parents are a very popular order.

Does the tape degrade? Tape is an analogue format and ages the way analogue things do, gracefully and slowly. Your digital master is always the archive, the tape is the keepsake.

Can we get one if we only booked photography? The VHS Edition holds your wedding film, so it pairs with our film and combined packages. If you are deciding between packages, this is a good excuse to add film.
