Minea Herwitz Video 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Albany, CA

Hi everyone! My name is Minea and the camera is my weapon -- of love! I believe the universe is built on relationships -- and that is also what makes life so rich. We are social creatures, and our biggest source of meaning and strength is with the community we love. I am here to help people celebrate their love and their lives, and to create a lasting artifact - a video - that can be enjoyed for literally the rest of your lives. I take that very seriously! I am in the business creating of things that last for life, including each relationship I engage in, every project I give my heart & mind to. I am an artist, a humanist, and a communicator.

Saying Minea is amazing is a complete understatement! After combing through numerous videographers, my husband and I found Minea’s work on Zola. The way she filmed and captured other weddings was mesmerizing. We reached out to Minea via Zola and after exchanging a few messages we scheduled a phone call to see if we were a good fit. Minea’s energy was upbeat, laid back, and professional. My husband and I had faith she would bring that same enthusiasm, talent, and professionalism on our wedding day. Minea went above and beyond and knocked our wedding footage out of the park!! We received our wedding footage back within weeks and it all looked incredible. I know Minea does this for a living, but she really made my husband and I feel special and that our footage/wedding was unique instead of a generic copy and pasted experience. Our wedding party, family, and guests all raved about how funky and cool Minea was and the energy she added to the environment. I would also describe Minea as a ninja, because she was everywhere and yet nowhere all at once. She was very flexible and made sure she gave us a finished product we loved. If we could give Minea a million dollars I would, because she truly deserves it. One of a kind videographer!

Finisterre Visuals 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Albany, CA

So what does finisterre mean? Finisterre is Latin. If you know some Spanish, you’ll recognize two words squeezed into one: “fin” and “tierra,” essentially meaning the world’s end. Don’t worry, not in an apocalyptic sense of the word — it’s actually a place. It’s where the Romans once stood in modern-day Spain. They looked across the vast Atlantic Ocean, and thought to themselves “is this the end of the road?” Finisterre is an ode to that majestic feeling of unknown. Getting married is one of those unique experiences.

Finisterre Visuals was fantastic to work with for our wedding video. Ryan, the videographer, easily described the scenes and shooting locations he wanted to capture, which made the process feel smooth and organized. He worked tirelessly to capture every special moment of our wedding day, with no issues. Ryan presighted the venue ahead of time and came in with a plan, which made the preparations much less stressful. As the sole videographer on site in a public space, he was able to seamlessly capture the sound and footage. Ryan was fully committed to our goal of creating an authentic, high-quality video that would let us relive our wedding day for years to come. The setup and scene prep felt effortless and not at all awkward. We couldn't be happier with the final product and highly recommend Finisterre Visuals.

Cook Captures 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Albany, CA

Hi there, my name is Caleb but most people call me Cook. I spent almost 13 years in the southeast filming weddings, events, corporate gigs and commercials. I moved to California in 2012 and pursued a different career. A couple years ago I decided to get back into event videography and started Cook Captures. When shooting events I have a very hands off candid style. I love to capture people naturally having fun, enjoying the day and creating memories. Every event I film is unique and each film ends up with it’s own story and narrative that fit the couple, venue, guests and overall vibe of your wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are over the moon with the work of Cook Captures! Caleb has a remarkable talent for capturing the essence of our special day. The attention to detail in every frame was beautiful and the video we received a was nothing short of magical. Our wedding day was a whirlwind of emotions (and windchill), and Caleb managed to encapsulate those precious moments, creating a visual story that tells the story of our love. The turnaround time for our video was impressive, and the presentation was beyond our wildest dreams. Each moment was thoughtfully edited, and the music selection perfectly complemented the spirit of the day. Caleb turned our wedding day into a cinematic experience we will cherish forever. We cannot express enough gratitude to Caleb for his dedication to preserving the magic of our special day. If you are seeking a videographer who goes above and beyond, Caleb is the one! We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and personable videographer. Thank you, Caleb and Cook Captures, for your exceptional work! Highly recommend!

  • Serves Albany, CA

We are a husband and wife videography team. Dominic received his MFA in Film Directing from the Academy of Art in San Francisco and has over 10 years of videography experience. We got married on January 6, 2018 and quickly realized we had made a big mistake not hiring a wedding videographer to capture our day. We decided to start our own video production business and provide quality wedding videography services to make sure other couples have a wedding film to help them remember all the special moments of their most special day. We are passionate about filmmaking and can't wait to hear more about your love story!

Hiring Lost Generation Video was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From the initial consultation to the final delivery of our wedding video, they were professional, attentive, and truly passionate about capturing all our special moments Dom and Emily took the time to meet with us beforehand, getting to know us as a couple and learning about the moments that were most meaningful to us. For example we had Jewelry and small items that hold sentimental value and they made sure to capture those special details that truly reflected the love we share. Their dedication to telling our unique story was evident. On the big day, Dom and Emily were absolute pros. They blended seamlessly into the background, making us and our guests feel completely at ease while still managing to capture every important detail and candid moment. Their attention to detail and were open and flexible to game time decisions. When we received our wedding video, we were completely blown away. The way they pieced together the footage from the emotional moments during the ceremony to the fun and laughter at the reception, was nothing short of cinematic. The music, editing, and transitions were flawless, and watching it brought tears to our eyes all over again. Dom and Emily didn’t just capture our wedding; they told our story in the most beautiful way. If you’re looking for a videographer who will go above and beyond to preserve your most cherished memories, look no further than Lost Generation Video. Thank you for giving us something we’ll treasure forever and be able to watch again and again.

Bustle & Twine Videography

Bustle & Twine specializes in documentary wedding videography - telling the story of your day through all the beautiful details, unexpected surprises, and candid emotions as they unfold. We strive to capture every moment of your day while keeping a low profile.

The Bustle & Twine video team was fantastic - didn't even notice they were there / very much faded into the background but when the videos were delivered (multiple - a fun trailer, highlight video, ceremony video, first dances) you could tell they captured every beautiful moment and more. Their style is real and personal - not overly stylized or dramatic - just intimate and lovely. I cry every time I watch our wedding video! Not to mention the entire Bustle & Twine team is just a joy to work with - friendly, personable, goes above and beyond. Love.

Fueled by nostalgic recalling we aim to create a film that is timeless and authentic. Motel Cinema is based out of San Diego, Ca and our approach to weddings is inspired by the untraditional travelers before us, who hit the road in search of adventure into the unknown.

We were really struggling to find a videographer that understood what we wanted and was within our budget. Dianna was warm and friendly from the start! She was very patient as we talked through everything we wanted in our video. On the day of our wedding, she was very thorough and captured some shots that we didn't even know happened! We were worried that our photographer and videographer would get in the way of guests' views but Dianna was very respectful and was able to capture beautiful footage without disrupting our guests. We cannot recommend Dianna enough!
