Watson's Camera House – Record the Happy Event for the Future

Loading the player...

This promotional film was produced by a Hamilton company, Watson's Camera House, on a 16mm camera.

During the 1930s some photographic shops would make films on commission because movie cameras were too expensive for most people to buy. The film was part of a wider "Moving Snapshots" series, promoting this service. It shows footage of wedding festivities – replete with dresses, tuxedos, flowers, cakes and wedding cars – by "Watson’s Camera House and various amateurs."

"ANYWHERE and EVERYWHERE with home movies," the closing title entices.
