Our focus is always on you, the couple. We strive to create unique videos that aren’t cookie cutter. We do this by blending artistic angles with unique stories. Each wedding may follow a similar timeline, but each couple is different. You’ll find a lot of dramatic videos and ones that feel staged, but we tend to focus on real moments that make your video feel unique to you.
Kim and Michael’s wedding at the enchanting Bernardus Lodge & Spa in Carmel Valley was truly breathtaking. Every aspect of their special day exuded magic, from the exquisite decor to the perfect weather, all set against the backdrop of this stunning venue.
At times, filming a wedding feels like everything falls into place effortlessly: the weather is flawless, speeches are heartfelt, and the couple is simply amazing. This was definitely the case for Kelly and Daryl. We also loved filming their day at Holman Ranch in Carmel Valley. One unforgettable moment was when Daryl skillfully sabered the cork off a champagne bottle, adding a touch of excitement and charm to an already unforgettable celebration.
Filming in wine country is a joyous experience for us. The picturesque vineyards, breathtaking sunsets, and delightful weather create an ideal setting for any occasion. Throughout the years, we’ve had the privilege of capturing numerous weddings in Healdsburg, Napa, and Sonoma. Mario and Pablo’s celebration stands out with its stunning outdoor ceremony and opulent reception setup, reflecting the intimacy and splendor of their special day.
Akane and Aaron’s Rosewood Sand Hill wedding was pure magic. Every detail was perfect, reflecting their love and thoughtfulness. Their warmth and kindness touched everyone’s hearts, making it a day to remember forever.

Our cinematic 3-5 min highlight film, 10-12 min short film, and 15-20 min feature film are all set to music. This is the style of films you see in our film gallery. With these films, we pick the best moments of the day to tell a cinematic story. We’ll use some speeches and vows to narrate the story, but only the juicy stuff. These are the films you will share constantly with family and friends.
Our “Live Ceremony and Speech” edits are documentary-style edits. These edits are straight forward edits of the events. We cut between each appropriate camera angle and use all of the natural audio for the ceremony and speeches. These edits are great for watching the event in its full nature just how it happened.
If you want full live documentation of the event, you can also add-on an extended live edit. This is a live edit of the full ceremony, speeches, grand entrance, formal dances, cake cutting, and bouquet/garter.
Yes. We work much better when we’re fed a hot meal 🙂
