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.

Finisterre Visuals 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Lafayette, 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.

We hired Ryan and his team to capture video for our wedding day. We could not be happier with that decision. The video Ryan created for us is a forever cherished memory. The video book he created has been shown off countless times and is now a favorite toy of our son who likes to point out friends and family as they appear on screen. During the wedding day Ryan’s crew were punctual, professional, and very well coordinated. They knew where to be, what to capture, and worked with minimal support from us or the venue staff. They worked great with our photographers. Our photog even praised how easy Ryan’s crew made the day the next time we met with her. The videos that Ryan created for us were exceptional. We wanted a highlights reel style video of two different lengths. Ryan left us with a short video that we were able to post to social media and a longer video we shared directly with friends and family. They captured all of our favorite moments, put everyone into the video, and weaved together the story of the day beautifully. We still tear up rewatching it three years later. I can’t recommend Ryan and Finisterre Visuals highly enough. It’s hard to know who to trust to capture once in a lifetime moments. For us, Ryan will always be our top choice.

I cannot express enough how incredibly grateful I am for the exceptional work done by Hector. He and his lovely girlfriend captured every moment of my surprise engagement with such ease and creativity. From the initial consultation to the final delivery, his professionalism and attention to detail was truly outstanding. Hector worked with me every step of the way, initially I wanted drone footage, but he found out it was illegal off the coast of California, we then pivoted and worked out another solution. He was also checking the weather for me, as it was supposed to be raining that weekend, he helped me pick a plan B, in case the location I wanted wouldn’t work, it took a lot of stress off of me, which was so nice. The video he produced is nothing short of breathtaking; it perfectly encapsulates the love and joy of that special day. Thank you, Hector, for providing us with a treasure that we will cherish for a lifetime. I wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone looking to capture their most precious moments with brilliance and heart.

Cook Captures

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Lafayette, 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

Lost Generation Pictures

  • Documentary style
  • Serves Lafayette, 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!

Lost Generation partner team Emily and Dominic are just the absolute best! They were our wedding videographers and we are so happy they were referred by a friend who also raved about their work. They were very professional, responsive, punctual, very easy to communicate with, always responsive with emails and took their time over zoom calls in understanding what we wanted for our videos. We wanted a natural, documentary style video and Emily and Dominic delivered. They always had our best interest in mind; they never upsold us on anything and we were more than happy with the videos they created! Not only did they work great with us, but with the other wedding vendors. With a different photographer, they worked so well together and made everything work out so smoothly which resulted in amazing videos and photos. And they're a great value! We started with a package but added more after receiving the trailers and can see the high quality work they've put together. Hire Lost Generation as your next videographers, you won't regret it!

  • Serves Lafayette, CA

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.

We hired B&T for our wedding videography as part of a package with our photography. It was so seamless and they were so professional! They did an amazing job capturing all the sweet moments of our big day while somehow being barely noticeable. The trailer, highlight reel, and ceremony/reception videos were so sweet, we cried while watching them. We loved working with the whole B&T team so much, I absolutely would not hesitate to work with them again. Just really wonderful people who do fantastic videography.

I received a bit of bad news only one week before my wedding when the videographer (that I had booked almost a year prior to my wedding date) said she had to cancel. I was devastated!! Allyamore Visuals saved my wedding day!! With very little notice, the team was to the rescue. The professionalism, the advice, the kindness, the help, etc. My ceremony video, the teaser, the highlight reel, PERFECT. It all came out better than I could have hoped for.

I found Saja through a tagged video of my wedding venue (The Glen Manor House) midway through planning, and was immediately sold! Her artistry, talent and the opulence mirrored my vision so much that I ended up firing my previously booked videographer! So if you’re reading this, and you already booked a videographer; you may need to reconsider because every bride needs a Saja on her wedding day! She is personable, professional and extremely considerate! The produced work is phenomenal and is a keepsake that will transcend family generations!! You regret hiring Mawaddah Productions for your big day!
