Minea Herwitz Video 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Pleasant Hill, 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

  • Documentary style

  • Serves Pleasant Hill, 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.

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.

  • Serves Pleasant Hill, 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.

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.

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.

Hugest hugs and thank yous for all you did for our wedding. We could not be more appreciative that you were there with us. We both absolutely loved the way you handled everything on the day and talked about it many times. Your presence was joyful and calming and fit right in. You have a natural intuitive sense of where to be and how, which we really noticed and appreciated. Dave made a comment about how the best cinematographers have a quality that is hard to describe but that has to do with connection to others, reading situations, and holding space…Not to mention how great your patience and help was with all the logistical items that we were too overwhelmed to be on top of ourselves!! We planned to plug in the drives and quickly click through the footage yesterday to make sure it all worked ok technically, but we ended up spending an hour and a half glued to the screen in tears!! We are both over the moon with your work, it’s exactly what we wanted. It’s hard to believe our luck with getting you on board. All this to say — thank you!!!!

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!
