Hi, I am Noelle.

A Big Sur videographer, a filmmaker, a mom, a proud auntie, and a lover of all things travel and Sicily. I grew up on the Central Coast and I am still awed everyday by the landscape and beauty here.

Welcome! if you are on my site, I am going to assume you are a nostalgic person that loves the magic of film.

I began using super 8 film 10 years ago to document my family’s life and I was immediately hooked. I have always loved getting film developed and returned, and super 8 film is a magical, mini time capsule. 

These films are meant for intimate moments and milestones. They are perfect for an elopement, a portrait or boudoir session, a small business campaign, a birthday, or a chance to capture everyday-yet-unique-to-you moments. All films are made with 100% super 8 film.

Peruse the FILMS page to get an idea of my style and view full films, and check out my BLOG page to see what I have been up to recently.

Please contact me with any questions, requests for full length film samples, or packages and pricing options.

I found Noelle’s work on instagram @nmsmithsuper8films months prior to my elopement (and even deciding that and elopement was booked!) and knew that I would need to have her document something in my life one day. Her work is moving, thoughtful and intuitive. My wife doesn’t love being in front of cameras and Noelle made her feel at ease and comfortable from the start. From her consultation to her day of energy and the final video, Noelle was easy and fun to work with. I am so grateful to have this beautiful keepsake of my wedding day and to have met Noelle in the process. Highly recommend!

Noelle is a devoted and talented videographer who crafted a heartfelt personalized video for us! She made us feel so comfortable and at ease during the big day, and she was organized and timely in her emails and all her preparations leading up to it. We got wows and oolalas from everyone we shared the video with —it encapsulated the intimate mood of our 16 person ceremony so beautifully. We feel so lucky that we can revisit our magical day through this gorgeous keepsake. Thank you, Noelle!

Creating a Super 8 film with Noelle of my sons will always be one of the best decisions I’ve made! I treasure the way she captured the sweetness of their ages and am especially impressed with how comfortable she made us all feel. My older son doesn’t warm up to people immediately but he wasn’t uneasy around Noelle because of her calm, gentle and natural personality. She is so easy to be around and the result is something I will truly cherish for years to come as my kids grow up. I recommend her very highly!!!
