Minea Herwitz Video

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Richmond, 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.

There really are no words for how grateful I am to have the beautiful video Minea created for us. She was so professional and yet so genuinely caring and sharing in our joy, and she somehow seemed to be everywhere getting every perfect angle while never being in the way either. She was queer friendly which was a must for us, and we felt so comfortable with her so we could truly just be ourselves and not feel the pressure of being filmed. We had a separate photographer and they worked so well together even having never met before. When she sent me our video I was so blown away with how beautiful and just dreamy it was. We just had our second wedding anniversary and we honestly still sit and watch it together regularly! The most special thing for me was being able to take this video to my family overseas and play it for them, it so truly captured the joy and specialness of the day that they really felt like they had been there and experienced it with us too. This is priceless to me. I would recommend Minea to anyone and everyone I know who is planning their wedding!

Finisterre Visuals 

5.0

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

I cannot recommend Ryan and his team enough. 100/5 stars. He was absolutely AMAZING on our wedding day at the Hideout. Our wedding video is hands down, one of the greatest memories we have from our day. Ryan was able to capture the whole day without shoving a camera in our faces. My husband and I were able to actually enjoy the day and visit with everyone without having to miss any major moments for a film shoot. He blended with our crowd so effortlessly while capturing all the detailed moments throughout the whole day. Not only that, but Ryan and his team had to be adaptable during our wedding day. We had rain and hail which altered all of our plans for the ceremony and reception, but Ryan was able to shift and still capture the day beautifully. He was very communicative with editing our video and checked in to make sure we were happy with the final result. The care and detail he put into our video was so reflective of us - I can't thank him enough.

Cook Captures

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $1,750
  • Serves Richmond, 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
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.

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!

Emily and Dominic are an incredible team to work with! The quality of the content they delivered to us was top-notch and truly captured all the little details of our big day. They were even more amazing on the day of the wedding - they were very easy to work with - helping guide us through all of the little things, and also just helping out wherever they could. Highly, highly recommend hiring them on as your wedding videographer!!

Chas and Elliot were the absolute BEST videographers we could have asked for to capture not just our wedding day, but also the special moments leading up to it. Their passion for their craft and the creative ideas they brought to life left us speechless when we watched the final video. Not only are they incredibly talented, but they are also some of the friendliest, most personable people we've ever met. From our first meeting, they made us feel completely at ease. As we were inexperienced with posing and camera presence, Chas and Elliot provided clear guidance and direction, which helped us feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. We were also really impressed with their investment in top-notch equipment. It's clear that they use the best gear available to ensure every shot is perfect, and it truly made a difference in the final product. The quality of the footage was incredible, and it showed their commitment to delivering nothing but the best for their clients. A San Jose hidden gem! Highly Recommended with no regrets.

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.

The Bustle & Twine video team was fantastic - didn't even notice they were there / very much faded into the background but when the videos were delivered (multiple - a fun trailer, highlight video, ceremony video, first dances) you could tell they captured every beautiful moment and more. Their style is real and personal - not overly stylized or dramatic - just intimate and lovely. I cry every time I watch our wedding video! Not to mention the entire Bustle & Twine team is just a joy to work with - friendly, personable, goes above and beyond. Love.

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!
