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.

Cook and Peter were so great to work with. I appreciated their understanding of how difficult the cost of weddings have gone up and how they were willing to cooperate reasonably throughout the whole process. Cook was able to capture all the shots I was hoping to have captured and his talent is truly evident. My husband and I were hoping to get some footage within the whole gallery of the not so “picture-perfect” to keep memories authentic and to see the natural candid side of our special day. Cook delivered that exactly through his videos. I truly recommend working with Cook if you are looking for someone to capture a meaningful event in your life. He is also so versatile in styles that he truly can provide you exactly what you are looking for or thinking through collaboration.

My name is Ben. I am a LA-based Wedding Filmmaker who runs on emotion-driven films that tell the story of you as a couple. The wedding day for sure! - But lets be honest, the wedding day is only whatit is because of who you are together before and after the day is done. Let's get some of that. That's the stuff that lasts longer than a few years after your wedding. The stuff your kids will pull out and watch.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ben is such a talented videographer! We are super happy with the film and had a great experience working with him. His artistic take on editing and music makes the film an emotion triggering art piece. We also really appreciate his support during the pandemic. We had to reschedule twice during the whole process, not only was he flexible, he didn't even raise the price after two years and flew all the way to Seattle for our wedding. Thank you, Ben!

Based in Southern California - filming wherever your love goes. With 5 years as a professional videographer, I discovered a passion for filming weddings and documenting moments that’ll last forever. I have a background in video production and as a colorist as well as a degree in Film Production from NYU.

KS Media Productions were true professionals and a huge asset to have for our wedding this year. We saw samples of their work and immediately wanted our wedding to be captured in that light. It was definitely a fresher feel for videography. On our wedding day, it rained for a good part. KS Media Productions (along with our photographer) worked together to come up with great shots to capture the special moments of our wedding despite the weather. The improvisation KS Media had was phenomenal. Our photographer also had the highest of praises for them when it came to working with them on the professional side and communication side. We couldn't have asked for anyone better than KS Media Productions. We can not wait to see the final product, but I can tell you that we 100% recommend KS Media Productions for any event. Thank you Kristi and KS Media Productions for making our wedding amazing and we hope nothing but the best for you as you start your next chapter in life! Thank you again!

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we began working with Hector David and Ebullient Memories Films we knew we had made the right choice in our wedding videographer. He took the time to really get to know us, our story as a couple, and our hobbies. We even found some shared interests, like traveling to Japan and watching Formula One racing! Each email felt warm and sincere, like we were talking to a friend. Hector was also very thorough in finding out exactly what kind of shots we wanted him to film. On the day of our wedding, it could not have gone smoother. Hector and his team were very professional, but also made us feel extremely comfortable the entire time. We thought it would be awkward to be in front of the camera, but we hardly even noticed they were there. It was amazing how they were able to capture the essence of our entire wedding day on film! Four months after our wedding, we traveled to Hawaii for a second wedding reception with family members there that were not able to make it to the actual wedding in California. Hector was able to get our wedding short film finished by then and we were able to play it for our guests at the reception. It was a perfect way to share our wedding day with them! They really felt like they were there! We truly loved working with Hector and would definitely recommend him in the future! We will be cherishing these special memories from our wedding for years to come, all thanks to Hector and his amazing team!

Motel Cinema

  • Serves Long Beach, CA

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 don't like boxes and we don't want wedding films that fit into one. If that tickles your fancy let's get weird.

Awarded Best of Zola
One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was to hire Motel Cinema! As an entertainment marketer, specifically for documentaries, how our wedding would be documented was top of mind for me and I met with quite a few videographers. Brandon completely exceeded my expectations with the moments he caught on film, the editing, the music, the vibe. I really felt like he saw us and reflected it all back to us in the most special way which we will cherish for the rest of our lives. He was an absolute joy to work with through the entire process- easy to communicate with and quick, but also a relaxed energy that fit seamlessly into our wedding weekend. I cannot recommend Motel Cinema enough and I’m so so grateful that we were connected.

My journey as a wedding videographer is driven by a deep ethical commitment to provide a service that is not only professional but also heartfelt and responsible. I understand that your wedding day is one of the most significant moments in your life, and my approach is rooted in capturing these memories with the utmost care and sincerity. I pride myself on transparency, ensuring that every couple knows exactly what to expect from my services. From clear communication to respecting your privacy and preferences, my goal is to create a trusting relationship with every client.

Recently, in early 2023, I had the joy of experiencing my wedding day, and I must say, it was made infinitely more memorable thanks to the exceptional work of Scarpace Videographers. Justin and his team were nothing short of phenomenal. Their attention to detail, creative eye for shots, and overall professionalism were evident throughout the day. One of the most remarkable aspects of their service was how they managed to capture the essence of our special day. The day itself flew by in a blur of joy and celebration, leaving me with fleeting memories of those precious moments. However, Scarpace Videographers skillfully captured all those little, yet significant moments, ensuring that every smile, tear, and laugh was beautifully recorded.

My husband and I were going back and forth on whether we wanted videography at our wedding, and I am so so glad we decided to go with stamper films! Firstly, they were affordable and fit in our budget. Even better, their style is documentary-like filming which we love! Looking at our videos now, it feels like an authentic, real, romantic view was captured. Yan Li was super easy to work with & everything went seamlessly. We felt very comfortable with him & his assistant, and they were so respectful of our photographer as well. Our wedding video makes me cry just thinking about it. Then I turn it on & I really start to cry— our vows overlayed on top of the footage, the scenery & details that were captured, & especially the emotion Stamper Films got on camera. 10/10 and if I ever needed videography again I would go to Stamper Films.

The story of Relive the Day Films all started in the small coastal town Riomaggiore, Italy. Jordan was solo traveling and met a beautiful girl named Kinsey. They shared a sunset over the water and the rest was history. Kinsey encouraged Jordan to pursue what he loved, And he loved the film. So he quit his desk job in insurance and pursued a career in capturing the happiest moments in people's lives; wedding videography.

Booking a videographer was a must for us. We came across a highlight film Relive the Day made for another couple and were instantly captivated. The visuals and music matched perfectly. Jordan and team have a beautiful way of capturing your big day. We went with the highlight film and documentary edit and we can’t recommend them enough. They live up to the name. You truly get to relive your wedding day through the documentary. Above all, Jordan is friendly and patient. Any question we had, he was quick to answer. It’s a gift to have your big day captured so well and to get to see it in film forever. A big plus was how incredibly professional and kind Jordan and team are. Every moment, feeling, and loved one, for you to always look back on. Booking Relive the Day Films was the best decision, we can’t recommend them enough!!

Here at Fervent we believe in passionately capturing your wedding in a real and raw way. Our films are well described as "organic" and we're best at candidly capturing those beautiful moments you're likely to forget.

Working with both Cori and Michael was a dream! We found them after scouring Instagram accounts and seeing what videographer friends and our venue used in the past. We loved how customizable their packages were and found that they were within our budget. We ended up going with a highlight video and opted to purchase all the footage (bc knowing me, I’ll want to remember every little detail). Both Cori and Michael were on top of communication and so incredibly professional throughout the entire process. Come wedding day, Michael came out as our videographer and was the most sweet and nice guy! He worked so well and was in sync with our photographer and was there shooting all of the moments both big and small! We received our highlight video a little over a month after our wedding and are SO IN LOVE with what they created! I can’t stop watching it over and over and our friends and fam keep reaching out saying how beautiful it came out! They matched our music choice so gracefully with the footage and injected so many memorable moments, while also injecting moments of creativity (which were fun surprises)! We will be receiving the rest of our footage soon, and we’re so excited for that as well! I promise you, you won’t regret hiring Fervent Creative! If you’re looking for a sign to hire a videographer, THIS IS IT!
