Kristiann did an amazing job with our videography! She communicated great beforehand and worked with my coordinator to make sure everything was good to go in our schedule. She was very thorough to get all the shots I wanted and then some! She was great to work with and our video was fantastic. She captured some great moments and my whole family laughed and cried.

Motel Cinema

  • Documentary style

  • Serves Rancho Santa Margarita, 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.

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
Cook is super easy going and easy to get along with. His work also speaks for itself, it’s high quality and exactly what you want! He captures people in the entirety and a good turn around time. I would highly recommend him to everyone!

Born and raised in Ecuador, Nadia Belen moved to New Jersey at age 8 where she was raised in a cultural melting pot within close proximity to New York City. Straight out of college, she became part of a wedding collective in the New York metropolitan area as a videographer in 2019. Currently residing in Los Angeles, Nadia continues to focus on capturing raw and organic moments in everyday life through street photography, music videos, and of course wedding films.

Nadia captured our wedding day with the exact energy I was looking for! She took the important details that I was interested in (candid family-oriented shots) and blended them into a 10 min TREASURE that I will never stop watching. Her smile is contagious and her communication following our wedding was impeccable. So grateful for this forever memory of our day!

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.

Justin's professionalism truly shone through at John and Kayla's November 2023 wedding. As a seasoned wedding videographer, he demonstrated the utmost respect for all vendors involved in the event. Justin's commitment to excellence was evident as he arrived earlier than most, ensuring he had ample time to coordinate with fellow vendors. His proactive approach included checking in with everyone involved, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the event's dynamics. Justin meticulously planned the setup of his lights, going the extra mile to communicate and collaborate effectively. When we requested to drape floral designs over his light stands, Justin's cooperative spirit and valuable suggestions enhanced the overall aesthetic. Not only did Justin accommodate our requests, but he also provided insightful feedback on optimal locations for better support, showcasing his expertise in creating visually stunning scenes. The collaboration was seamless, reflecting his dedication to delivering a flawless wedding videography experience.

  • Serves Rancho Santa Margarita, CA

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!

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.

My husband and I spent months looking for the perfect videographer for our wedding- since we are both creative people, we wanted someone who values storytelling, has a documentary style that captures the real emotions of the day, and cares deeply about their craft. Talking to Saja felt like finding our creative soulmate, because she goes above and beyond on all of these fronts. She is incredibly detail oriented and has an incredible eye for elements you might not think of as a bride and groom. And to top it all off she’s super down-to-earth and was so fun to work with day-of. I can’t recommend her enough!

Anthony was easy to work with at the wedding. I was a DJ at the wedding I worked with him and from an artistic standpoint, what I saw of his work so far was great. Just like the rest of the vendors at this wedding, he went with the flow and went above and beyond to give the couple the best experience they could get especially under the crazy weather circumstances we had! Rain almost all day, thunderstorms, a tornado warning (it was an outdoor tent wedding) and some high winds that almost took out the tent! Despite that, he remained positive and fun. His needs from me were minimal (tapping into my sound system) and he made sure I wasn't busy when he asked me about it. If the rest of his work is as good as the little I've seen so far, you can't go wrong with his video service!
