Bustle & Twine Videography 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $4,490
  • Serves San Rafael, CA

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.

Finisterre Visuals 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves San Rafael, 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.

My husband and I cannot speak highly enough of our experience with Ryan and Hazen as our wedding videographers! Ryan and Hazen brought an incredible blend of professionalism and warmth to our special day. Their kindness and genuine interest in our love story made us feel like we were working with a friend rather than just a vendor. The final video exceeded our wildest dreams and brought tears of joy to our eyes. It’s a priceless keepsake that we will treasure for a lifetime, thanks to Ryan and Hazen’s incredible work. If you’re looking for a wedding videographer who is not only skilled but also kind, amazing, and fun to work with, look no further than Ryan and Hazen. They are truly a gem in the industry! Thank you for giving us the gift of memories that we will cherish forever!

Cook Captures 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $1,750
  • Serves San Rafael, 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 had an amazing experience working with Sun Hand Films for our wedding photography/videography. Kendra and her team were incredibly friendly, clear, and helpful throughout the entire process. Their communication was top-notch, and they made sure the timeline went smoothly on the big day. The quality of their work is truly gorgeous - their candid, documentary-style work captured all the special moments in a beautiful and authentic way. You can tell Kendra is a seasoned pro at handling weddings, and her use of a Super 8 camera created such a unique and stunning final product.

Alanna Morgan Videography 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves San Rafael, 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.

Alanna Morgan is truly the most chill and supportive professional I’ve had the pleasure of working with. I will refer all of my adventurous eloping friends to her service. She was so much fun to work with and really set the mood for our special day. Alanna made me feel comfortable in my skin and helped my honey and I lean into the experience while she captured footage. Without Alanna, I don’t think our love story would have been represented as purely. She captured the smallest moments that represent our very big love for one another. We can’t thank her enough for sharing her talents with us. Additionally, she’s so professional and easy to work with. Our photos and video edits were provided to us in a very timely manner, and Alanna was just overall an absolute peach to have around on such a special day that we will forever get to look back on and cherish thanks to her beautiful work.

I'm William, a dedicated and passionate photographer/videographer based in Washington, DC. My love of photography was born out of my love of travel. While exploring other countries and cultures, I was using my phone to document the people that I met and the places that I have been. This led me to buy my first professional-level camera; it has been with me ever since. I consider my photography style to be timeless. When I'm not behind the lens, you'll find me at my local movie theater or spending quality time with my family and friends.

Stamper Films LLC

  • Serves San Rafael, 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.
