The Ultimate Splurge: 8 or 16 mm film

The "couture" option is to have your wedding captured on motion picture film—8 mm, or even 16 mm, the format in which most of those lush, silky-looking Hollywood movies (think: The Aviator) are shot. While a "film version" of your wedding day is as glamorous as you can get, it's also a luxury product—an hour's worth of this type of film can cost the filmmaker as much as $2,000. In addition to covering the cost of the film itself, you'll also pay $3,000 or more for the filmmaker's time and talent. But the expense may be worth it to you, because these films are astounding, utterly gorgeous works of art.
