So, who’s behind the camera?

​

My name’s Finley and I'm a filmmaker with a love for analog film—particularly the kind that has a little grain, a little warmth, and a lot of soul. To me, film's so-called "imperfections" are actually what make it beautiful. The organic nature of the medium gives it an authenticity and timelessness that digital just can't replicate, no matter how many filters you throw on it.

​

I've always been drawn to cinema. I studied film production in college, where I spent countless hours behind the camera honing my craft and learning what makes a great shot. But I never imagined I'd end up shooting weddings on Super 8—until one random opportunity changed everything.​ A few years ago, I posted some Super 8 footage online, just for fun. Out of nowhere, a young Brooklyn couple reached out. Their wedding was only a few weeks away, and they'd made the last-minute decision to capture it on Super 8 film. They took a shot in the dark asking if I'd be interested. I'd never shot a wedding before, but I was immediately excited about the idea.

​

Their wedding was intimate, held in a nearly finished pizza restaurant they were about to open in Brooklyn. I showed up with my cameras, and when I watched the footage back, something clicked. The film captured their day in a way that felt real, warm, and timeless—exactly how a wedding should be remembered. I realized I might actually have a knack for this.​ The thought of doing what I love for work, on a day that's all about love, was incredibly exciting. I was hooked.

When it came time to build a brand around this work, I kept thinking back to that first wedding—shot in a Brooklyn pizza spot, unpretentious and full of heart. That's the vibe I wanted to capture: affordable, local, high-quality. All the elements that make up a good New York pizza spot.

​

And that's how Corner Slice Weddings was born.
