Johnny & Tara Davis | A Timeless Wedding at the Country Club of New Canaan
Johnny and Tara Davis were married at the iconic Country Club of New Canaan in Connecticut, a venue that feels effortlessly classic the moment you arrive. Rolling greens, refined architecture, and understated luxury set the tone for a wedding day that was timeless, elegant, and deeply personal—the kind of celebration that feels just as beautiful decades from now as it does today.
From the beginning, Johnny and Tara envisioned a wedding film that felt less like a production and more like a memory. That vision made this day a perfect fit for a hybrid approach using Super 8 film, modern digital cinematography, and intimate Meta glasses footage to tell their story in a way that felt honest, nostalgic, and alive.
A Classic Connecticut Setting
The Country Club of New Canaan is a dream location for couples drawn to East Coast elegance. Its manicured grounds and historic interiors provided a refined backdrop that complemented Johnny and Tara’s style beautifully. Soft natural light filtered through tall windows, while neutral tones and classic details created an atmosphere that didn’t need embellishment—it simply needed to be observed.
This is the kind of venue where moments unfold naturally, which is exactly why documentary-style wedding filmmaking thrives here.
Super 8 Film: Texture, Emotion, and Nostalgia
A significant portion of Johnny and Tara’s wedding was captured on Super 8 film, a medium that brings an irreplaceable warmth and texture to wedding storytelling. The gentle grain, subtle light leaks, and organic motion of Super 8 instantly transport you back in time—without feeling dated.
Super 8 was used intentionally throughout the day:
- Quiet moments during getting ready
- Emotional exchanges before the ceremony
- Candid interactions during cocktail hour
- Romantic portraits on the club grounds
The result is a wedding film that feels timeless rather than trendy, blending seamlessly with the elegant setting of the Country Club of New Canaan.
