Cook Captures 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Palm Desert, CA
  • Offer

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.

Caleb Cook and Cook Captures are top-notch in video production. Caleb's punctuality and clear communication make working with him a breeze. He brings fun and warmth to every event. Plus, his video editing skills turn moments into captivating stories. If you want quality videos with a friendly touch, Cook Captures is the way to go.

Motel Cinema 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Palm Desert, 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.

I cannot stress enough how much we recommend Alex and NY Wedding Films! He did an absolutely incredible job capturing footage surreptitiously throughout our wedding day, and then producing the most wonderful highlight reels. They are so beautifully done and we will treasure them always. We almost didn't book a videographer because of our budget concerns, but the prices are so reasonable, and the value of the product is beyond measure. Thank you for everything, Alex! If I could give 10 stars here I would!

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.

Ben's work speaks for itself. He captures beautiful stories and presents them in a way you never thought possible. You'll laugh, you'll cry and you'll find yourself saying things like "Dang, we look so good!" - because you'll feel like movie stars. And while you'll feel like Hollywood royalty, you won't have to worry about the paparazzi cramping your style - Ben's subtle and intuitive work flow captures all the important moments without ruining the vibe. He's easy to get along with, he knows what he's doing, and his films allow you to revisit your special day as often as you'd like. TL;DR Felt like movie stars, everything looked amazing, book Ben: A fun, creative & artistic professional.

We are The Shalom Imaginative, wedding videographers in Los Angeles with a candid, documentary style. Our videos are never cheesy or boring and capture the true essence of your day. We want you to always remember how your celebration felt.

The Shalom Imaginative are EXCELLENT photographers for any event or occasion! From the start, Nate and his team made my fiancé and I feel we were in good hands for our wedding day. They are friendly, professional and answered all our questions quickly throughout the process. Our photographer for the day was Igor. He was fun to have around and also delivered amazing photos in a big way! We were so happy with how our photos turned out that we bought two photo albums afterwards (one for us and one to gift to my mother in law). We are so happy we went with the Shalom Imaginative for our big day and highly recommend them to anyone in need of photographers!

Hereafter Films - Wedding Photo & Video

  • Documentary style
  • Serves Palm Desert, CA for additional fees

Hereafter is a wedding production house of talented videographers & photographers based in Austin, Texas. Throw out the stress of formulaic & performative weddings. We want you to have an experience-driven, true-to-you celebration with cohesive & creative wedding photography & videography to remember it all. When your veil flies in your face, when you wipe your tears on your sleeve, when you dance until you can't breathe, that's where we thrive. When you trust us to capture those real and honest moments, you end up with photos & video about your love that transcend time.

When my fiancé and I were searching for wedding vendors, Hereafter Films stuck out to us. I immediately looked at their Instagram feed and their website and I was in awe of the quality of their work. You can clearly see how much love they pour into their brand and every video I watched made me feel all sorts of emotions. We met up with Sharayah and Ryan (pre-pandemic) to get to know them and we were so impressed with how in sync they are. They genuinely want to know your vibe, your relationship, and what you want captured on your wedding day. We wanted our video to feel genuine and intentional, not posed and stiff. It wasn't until I saw our wedding video that I extremely appreciated the time they took listening to our needs because they checked every. single. box. They captured every raw emotion we felt and so many small details we didn't see day of because everything moved so fast. Sharayah and Ryan were so easy to work with day of, they made sure we felt relaxed and unposed! They were everywhere but simultaneously they weren't in the way. We were so impressed with how well they worked with our photographers as well, they made an amazing team! We'll cherish our highlight and heirloom videos for years to come. We'll be watching them over and over again reliving the best day of our lives.

Alanna Morgan Videography 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Palm Desert, CA for additional fees

I aim to provide a unique, meaningful experience filled with adventure, laughter, and a whole lot of love. My main goal is to ensure that not only do you receive a kick-ass gallery or video that brings back all the feelings from your day, but that you have an INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE throughout the entire journey! Your wedding day should be fun, STRESS-FREE and memorable. Simple as that. And I will do everything I can throughout the entire process to make sure it is nothing less.

I worked with Alanna this summer for an elopement in the Olympic National Forest. She was so on top of communicating with our couple, helping them find locations, reaching out to people about permits, and really set the whole day up for success. I don’t shoot a lot of elopements in that area, so I felt so inspired & at ease seeing the way she stepped up to help our couple plan their day. Her expertise was the reason the day went so smoothly. Day of, she was gentle and calm with poses & capturing natural moments as they happened. She even hung back to get detail shots of the scenery to really capture the whole story for her final video. Working with her was such a dream. It was my first time meeting her in person and it just felt easy. She’s the best & I am so lucky I got to work with her. :)

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!

  • Serves Palm Desert, CA for additional fees

Stamper Films has been capturing and editing videos since 2014. Our goal is to tell the story of your wedding in a thoughtful, creative, and genuine way so that you and your guests can remember and relive this special day for years to come.

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.
