Awarded Best of Zola
We had the pleasure of having Dream Space film our wedding. Tyler was incredible as he played a huge role in making our hectic day go smoother. He knew all the best shots and angles, had very high quality equipment, but most importantly his energy was unmatched. We already knew the product was going to be great just by watching him work with such passion and a smile! Anyone can write a nice review but we strongly feel that the price-range alongside the quality material is a bargain all things considered. Talk to them for 15 minutes and you will be sold - and rightfully so.

Analise Summer Video 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Brookdale, CA for additional fees

Wedding videography all started with making short films with friends in college and realizing how much I love the process of producing video content. I often fell into the producer role, having a hand in every area of production which taught me so much and has led me down the path of pursuing video content creation all on my own. Although not nearly as exhilarating as filming through the night or in the heat of a desert on a cliff with incredibly talented friends pushing each other to learn and grow, I still get to experience the pre-production, production, and post-production of a film shoot.

I can't say enough good things about Analise! She was extremely communicative, and went above & beyond to make our videography experience special. Her sweet personality makes it so easy to be yourself on camera. She worked seamlessly with our photographer and delivered a sneak-peek video lightning fast. Her style is so unique and really captures the emotions of the day. If you're on the fence about hiring a videographer, do yourself a favor and hire Analise - you will not regret it!

From the last light on the horizon to the messy and playful love, your film will hold memories, not just videos.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

Awarded Best of Zola
We absolutely loved working with Stephen and Rosie! The video they made of our wedding day was better than we could have imagined and their eye for detail and composition is unsurpassed. From the first time we talked with them on the phone we felt absolutely at ease and knew they were the right decision. This is a team that loves love and is so gifted at capturing all the little details that make a wedding video so special. I really appreciated that the voices of us and our loved ones were recorded and used through the video. They asked what was important to us and made sure those people and moments were captured in our video. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors, were always so kind, and you can tell they genuinely love what they do. My husband is camera shy and was nervous that he would feel like he was being recorded all day. After the wedding, he said he didn't even notice they were there, which is wonderful since they captured him laughing and smiling all day. I would absolutely recommend them for your special day!

  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Brookdale, CA for additional fees

It seems lost on some videographers what this day is that we film and what our role on that day should be. Some get so wrapped up in their own creativity that they take away from the couples wedding day experience. With me, your wedding experience is my priority. My approach is candid and minimalistic. There is so much beauty in the organic moments that happen at a wedding that there shouldn't be a need to manufacture any. If im doing my job correctly you shouldn't even know im there. ​I personally handle all aspects of production from the initial consultation, to the filming, editing, and delivery of your final film.

Hiring Steven was one of the best decisions we made in building our team for our June 2023 wedding in Napa. We appreciated the upbeat and positive energy he brought throughout the planning process. He was super helpful and provided proactive guidance to make our day as seamless as possible. Working with Steven allowed us to feel reassured and confident that we would have all the content and footage we had hoped for from our special day. Steven went above and beyond to work with us throughout our wedding weekend and put a package together to film our rehearsal dinner in addition to the wedding. We will forever be grateful for Steven and having so many important moments throughout the weekend captured so beautifully. Steven was one of the most professional vendors we worked with and he was very solution-oriented during the day of the wedding, which was logistically complicated, and provided a great sense of calm. His artistic direction was top-notch and we're very thankful of all the creative guidance he provided us with as those are some of our favorite shots. He did a fantastic job working with our other vendors and everyone in our wedding party loved him. The final product of the wedding films beat expectations and we were very appreciative of Steven being collaborative and patient throughout the process to ensure our vision was brought to life. We couldn't be happier with our film and working with Steven. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic videographer for their upcoming nuptials. Thank you, Steven!

I highly recommend Little Robin Wedding Stories. I really didn't know what a videographer did when we started looking for our wedding. We were immediately blown away by the videos of other couples. Not only do you get the video of your friends and family, but Desmond creates an amazing movie knitting all of the key moments of your wedding into a story. Desmond is a true artist. Not only is the editing amazing, but it is also set to music. The movie is something we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We also felt a little shy about being filmed and didn't know exactly what we wanted. We communicated by phone and email with Desmond, who listened to what we wanted. He and his team were true professionals, who made us feel comfortable on our wedding. There is so much going on and we deeply appreciated their experience and manor throughout the day.

Hi I'm Waleed! I'm a videographer dedicated to capturing your special day in an artistic and candid way so you can relive each moment like you're there.

Waleed is communicative, friendly, and has an exceptional eye for the perfect shot. His photo editing skills are outstanding, delivering images we were excited to share. We would gladly work with Waleed again and highly recommend him to friends and family.

Hi I'm Andrew! I first started filming weddings when my sister got married in 2017. I quickly fell in love with the entire process and getting to know all the couples and their guests.

Over the last 10 years I’ve been pursuing filmmaking. From commercial shoots with Amazon, to the orphanages of Haiti, I’ve seen and done a lot with my career…but the moments that stuck with me were always the ones that had purpose behind what we were capturing. Weddings quickly went from being an occasional gig to the most precious gift I could provide an entire family! Through intentional filmmaking we are able to capture the sights & sounds of those closest to you on your wedding day, and that fills our cups!

We had the pleasure of working with Joey Winkler for our wedding videography. He brought a fun, friendly energy. Joey was great to communicate with in a prompt and courteous manner during the planning process. On the big day, he blended right in, capturing all the special moments. Joey's personable nature combined with his artistic eye and talent made him a wonderful addition to our vendor team. We can’t wait to see his finished product!

Not to mention the video that they produced was absolutely INCREDIBLE. They exceeded my expectations by far! They could not have captured our love for one another any more beautifully. When I watch the video... which is about 5x per day, lol... i am still in awe every. single. time!

Hi, I'm Joey. Raised along the North Coast with an adventurous disposition, I am a documentary-style filmmaker inspired by love and nature. My experience with film and video began in high school and quickly became a passion. I decided to follow that passion through college and started my professional career in narrative film between my third and fourth year. On weekends I found myself covering friends engagements and family weddings, and found it to be a creative and fulfilling experience. Because of my professional background, I approach wedding videography with an eye for visual and creative storytelling.

Joey is professional, kind, attentive, and a master at his craft. His attention to storytelling and documentation puts me in awe!

I TELL THE MOST IMPORTANT STORIES ON EARTH Stories of connection, passion, and love. You know, the shit that makes the world go 'round (or however that saying goes). For me, it's not about making a "wedding video," which I classify simply: a slideshow of pretty images with music over the top. Rather, I'm interested in documenting what truly matters to you and reflecting that back in a film crafted with depth, beauty, and emotion. The setting is your wedding, but the substance, the important part, is the people and the connections you cherish. Let's give them a story worth remembering.

Dave is amazing! He is fun and easy to work with. Our wedding video turned out perfect and was very fitting for who my husband and I are as a couple. He captured the right moments and pieced it all together to make a beautiful, fun and emotional video! We would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone! You won’t regret it!!

I am a cinematographer based out of Rochester, New York. In over ten years I’ve evolved from shooting choppy ski movies on a beat up GoPro to professionally delivering high-quality films for couples seeking to preserve their special days. When I watch my old GoPro footage, even all these years later, I can feel myself transported back to that time and place, just like I can with the thousands of other videos that I’ve taken since. It’s that power to preserve special moments - and the different constellations of memories and emotions that make them special - that drove me to cultivate filmography as a hobby.

Nick is amazing at his craft! He is creative and has such a clear vision for his final videos! As a fellow photographer and videographer, I can confidently say that his work is top-tier quality! Not only is his work amazing, but he's such a great person to be around and has the best personality. He's so kind and fun to be around!

My name is Mitchell Gaston, and I love telling stories. I began my filmmaking journey all the way back in middle school (which is further back than I care to admit), making silly videos with my friends. Somewhere along the line I got a chance to film a wedding, and I haven't looked back since. Meeting amazing couples and getting to tell their stories is, and continues to be, a dream come true.

As a wedding venue owners of The Wilds Wedding Venue in Bloomington, Indiana (www.thewildsvenue.com), we have had the unique opportunity to work alongside several amazing wedding industry vendors.

Welcome! I'm David and I began this wild journey of documenting love stories back in 2017. I'm big on sincere moments, relationships, and how your wedding day felt. I'd love to partner with you and create a film that can preserve what matters most.

Working alongside David during Kaci and Anthony's wedding in the picturesque Yosemite was an absolute pleasure. David's skill as a videographer was evident in his work and his demeanor. He was friendly, easygoing, and made the entire experience enjoyable. From the start, David's passion for videography was clear. He approached every moment with creativity and precision, ensuring that each frame captured the essence of the day beautifully. Watching Kaci and Anthony's wedding video, it was evident that David's talent went beyond technical skill. His ability to capture emotions and memories was truly remarkable.

HEYYY! *waves hands* We are Leandra + Clinton Cunanan, owners and lead videographers of Food + Cake Wedding Films. We are huge advocates for doing exactly what you want on your wedding day. We had the most epic wedding of all time (ask us about it!), but we didn't hire a videographer. And now this why we do what we do. It's the best feeling knowing each one of our couples will be able to relive their wedding day for the rest of their lives. We didn't have that, and now we get to give that to you!

I am so blown away by not only the quality of Clint and Leandra's work as videographers, but also what wonderful people they are! Not even halfway through our first zoom with them to talk about what packages they offer and our vision for the day I knew they were the perfect fit for us! Being with them on the wedding day felt like hanging out with old friends, they were amazing at blending in to the crowd to capture candid moments while also giving us prompts that created some of our favorite memories of the day. They worked so well with our other vendors and I don't think our day would have been complete without them. They are masters at what they do, and also the perfect people to have during a busy and, at times, stressful day (Leandra was able to bussle my dress when no one else could get the loop on the buttons AND snagged me some appetizers when I was resting my feet after the receiving line, she was a lifesaver!) My husband and I both teared up watching our trailer and highlight reel, and then happy cried getting to see our whole ceremony, private vows, speeches, and first dances. I know this is footage we’ll be so happy to look back on in the years to come, not just of my husband and I but of our whole families as well! I'm so happy we found Food Cake, you will not regret hiring this fantastic couple!

We're here to turn your big day into a joyous adventure, full of laughter, love, and unforgettable moments. So, strike a pose and let's embark on this wild ride together at imageryLIFE!

We can’t say enough great things about Warren and his team! We met imagery.life at a bridal expo and immediately fell in love with their work and also Warren and his staff! They were all so friendly. On your wedding day, it is one of the most important days of your life. You spend time thinking about who you want in your bridal party, who you want invited to your wedding, because you want to be surrounded by people who care about you. Same thing goes with vendors but specifically your photo/ video team! For most people, there are two vendors that are going to be with you from early in the morning to late at night. Those two vendors being arguably the two most important vendors in our opinion your photo and video team and your makeup team. Your makeup team is going to make you look and feel beautiful on your wedding day and your photo and video team is going to capture those pictures of your special day to look back on for years to come! You want to have a team that is going to help you and care about you and your spouse making sure you have the best day! And that’s exactly what imagery. Life is all about! Warren didn’t hesitate to help us with reviewing our timeline for the day to make sure it ran smoothly! The week leading up to our wedding, it was not supposed to rain but as it got closer, it was calling for rain. Warren and his team remained cool and were able to go with the flow. In preparation for the possible rain during the 30 mins of our ceremony that we wanted outdoor, Warren and his team took advantage of the weather before it rained and made sure to get outdoor pictures of the venue. They did a great job at blending into the crowd when taking photos during the ceremony. Warren and his team didn’t miss a moment to capture a photo! During cocktail hour, the rain had stopped so Warren made sure we got outside to get our pictures outside that we were unable to get before the ceremony due to the rain. There’s no doubt that Warren and his team care about their couples and truly care about what they do. It’s not just a “job” to them, it’s their life. (Hence their name). Warren and his team did a great job at interacting with the guests and getting photos of our guests ! We will definitely use them in the future and you would be making a mistake if you didn’t pick them for your wedding day!! Thanks so much Warren and the imagery.life team!! - Tom and Kaeleigh
