Shutter and Sound

  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Santa Barbara, CA

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are thrilled with the stunning work of Shutter and Sound! Their highly talented videographers perfectly captured all the love and memories of our wedding day, and helped preserve them in film. Reliving the day by watching our highlight video brought us and our family to tears of joy. Every beautiful moment was captured with crystal-clear visuals from getting ready with our wedding attendants to our sparkler send off at the end of the night. The drone footage and details shots also perfectly blended with the rest of the film and helped set the stage for our perfect day. We can’t thank Shutter and Sound enough for the creativity and care they put into making our wedding video. I highly recommend!

I highly recommend Fine Art Weddding Film! Desmond was super easy to work with from the start. What stands out about his work the most to me is that he is able to tailor each video he does to what the couple is looking for. He has you fill out an extensive form prior to the wedding with all the specifics you are looking for in your video. I found this to be very reassuring as a customer and felt that he really cared about what I wanted my video to be like, while still making professional judgements for what would look best. He was super easy to work with and extremely professional. I highly recommend :)

We're a Wedding Photo & Video Studio based in Los Angeles, California. Our goal is to have your wedding photos and video serve as a testimony for the generations to come that true love exists and that the happiest moments are those that are shared in the presence of your loved ones.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I knew it would be an important task hiring a photo/videographer for our wedding. There’s SO many options and styles out there that it’s also daunting to commit to one. We found Cruzio Studios on The Knot and we are incredibly grateful we did. We were drawn to their journalistic style of capturing love between partners: intimate, natural (doesn’t look too posed), synergizes with the location, delicate, and sweet. After having phone calls with other vendors, we were most excited to work with Cruzio. Not only do they have an amazing portfolio (easily accessible on their beautiful website), but they have great packages to offer their clients. Our package came with an engagement shoot and the results were mind-blowing. I know that sounds hyperbolic, but my partner & I don’t show a lot of PDA and the Cruzio team captured our love so sweetly. When we got the photos and video short, we kept on saying, “That’s us!!” Given their portfolio, we trusted their expertise and artistic eye. Not only were they kind while providing clear directions and great ideas, but they’ll do their best to get the optimal shot. They’re immensely generous with their talents considering all the thought and detail they put into their product. Also, they’re really easy to talk to. We felt like we were just hanging out with friends who are very talented photo/videographers! Cruzio Studios definitely did not disappoint on our wedding day. I’m definitely a planner, so I had a list of group photos we wanted for our wedding day. The Cruzio team had that list with them and ensured we got the shots. They are so professional and stuck to our wedding day timeline with such grace. And although our venue spaces weren’t the biggest, they adapted. To that, my husband & I never felt like they were ever in the way or super noticeable. And, of course, their final products are amazing. They captured the excitement leading up our first look & ceremony and joyous celebration during the reception. Also, the romantics are simply so pretty and caught our love perfectly. It’s so lovely to look back at our special day through their talents and lenses. We consider ourselves fortunate to have had them in our wedding dream team. If you’d like a wedding photo/videographer who are fun & easy to work with, incredibly talented, and experts in their crafts, look no further. Thank you, Cruzio Studios, for everything!!

He was so amazing on the day of the wedding, and I also couldn't believe his turnaround on the videos. He even sent a couple of beautiful stillframes to us that night to post on social media.

We found David through a referral, and were immediately pleased with his workstyle. He has creative ways to make sure the wedding video is memorable, while tailoring it to the personality of the couple. For example, he surprised us by including a surprising amount of footage of our pups, even though they were only present for the ceremony. David and his team were very attentive throughout the whole wedding, and made sure to capture footage of all wedding guests, without being intrusive. We were surprised at all of the dancing sequences from our friends and family members, and they all looked very natural! David’s editing skills are also superb. We were concerned, because my husband has a very low voice, and a marching band played during our vows, so we thought that he had been completely drowned out. We were so happy when we watched our wedding video and saw that David was able to salvage the audio of our vows perfectly! We will recommend David in the future!

Listen, I'm the first to admit I didn't think we needed a wedding video. We were on a budget and I was trying to keep things minimal. My friend hired Joel and told me about her experience and convinced me a videographer was essential, but only if I worked with Joel, and let me tell you what, I am SO thrilled we hired him. Joel was thoughtful and listened to my concerns prior to the wedding and made me feel at ease, the day of he was EARLY (who's early anymore?), he captured every special moment and worked really well with my photographer (who he'd never worked with before!) - by the end of the night you would have thought they were old friends in this wedding business that provided us with the most beautiful creations post-wedding.

Time capsule films for memory collectors. Our ability to capture and preserve some of our most pivotal life moments really is a gift. Every film is intended to act as a time capsule for my couples to re-live in 25 years.

KC Films was a dream to work with. I am a photographer and had the pleasure of working with her recently. She was so easy to get along with, very professional, and very intentional in everything she did. We communicated throughout the entire day that we worked together, and helped each other get the best coverage for our bride and groom! I would definitely work with her again! And I’ve recommended her to many family and friends that needed a videographer! Her videos capture the beauty and emotion of the entire wedding day!

My commissions are bespoke art house shorts - almost reminiscent of a home video. At the forefront of it all, it is directed by the charm and character that makes my couple’s wedding day dynamic and unique. My workflow is minimal. I prefer not to influence a wedding day by manufacturing moments and over-directing people. It is a discreet and fiercely grounded approach which leads to what I believe is a creatively genuine interpretation of the day and a testament to my couple. All of my commissions will include: a 1-2 minute film trailer a 7-10 minute feature film and uncut versions of the ceremony and toasts.

We recently had our intimate wedding at San Francisco City Hall and realized at the last minute that we absolutely needed a videographer to capture the day. That’s when we found Bryan, and he was a lifesaver! Bryan responded to our inquiry right away and was so helpful in explaining all the services he offered. His rates were super reasonable, which was a huge relief. On our wedding day, Bryan was not only on time and professional, but he also felt like part of the family. He managed to capture every beautiful moment without ever being intrusive. His creativity and attention to detail really shone through in every shot, and the final video is something we’ll cherish forever. By the end of the day, we felt like we had known Bryan forever. We are truly blessed to not only call him our videographer but also a friend. Bryan went above and beyond our expectations, and we couldn’t be happier. If you’re looking for a videographer who is responsive, talented, and genuinely invested in making your day special, Bryan is your guy. Thank you, Bryan, for making our wedding day even more unforgettable!

My husband and I hired Juan when he was just starting out as a videographer in 2019. He not only came to the rehearsal to scout out the venue, but he ensured that I had so much fun while he was shooting me and my girls, and the product that he gave us was ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! I still go back and watch it, and I love the video just as much as I did the first time I saw it. Moral of the story: hire Juan. You'll be so glad that you did!

If you’re reading this review, you’re likely considering Steven and Wild Light Films as part of your big day. DO IT!! We were originally drawn to his unique style of work, music-video like approach, and storytelling ability in capturing the essence of people’s wedding days. Working with Steven was incredible and we can’t say enough about how much we loved his work. We booked him back in 2019 for our 2020 wedding, but of course with COVID we had to push it back a year. He was super flexible and accommodating, and we still figured out a plan to have video footage of an intimate ceremony in 2020, as well as the original plan for 2021. He did such an amazing job incorporating the two ceremonies together into one seamless video, which he turned around even quicker than we expected! Steven is a delight to work with—truly a genuinely kind person. His video editing craftsmanship and storytelling are compelling—rewatching our video + highlights felt like taking us right back to the memories and joy of our day. Do yourself and your future self a favor and get Steven to make your wedding video that you’ll cherish for years to come.
