Hi, I'm Jesse, an award-winning, international wedding filmmaker. I love to tell stories in a strong and original way. My work today is all about STORYTELLING and the PEOPLE that help move your story along. I have been part of so many incredibly personal moments, memories, laughs, tears, and emotions over the past decade. I understand the magnitude of what it is I do. My passion is telling your unique story and I'd love to be the first and maybe only professional you hire to document your life!

I am truly so thankful for Jesse and his team. His talent in catching and documenting special moments on your wedding day is beyond what you can anticipate. The art of taking those special moments and forming a video with music and voice recordings from the ceremony and speeches is not something just anyone can do. I have to say, our wedding videos are BEYOND. The more we watch them, the more thankful we are to have hired Jesse and his team. Besides the fact that Jesse was so wonderful to work with from our first phone call to the day of our wedding, he is so kind and has amazing attention to detail. He caught everything on our video "wishlist" and gave us some of the best tips before the wedding. He asked for our vows, speeches, and ceremony script ahead of time and then incorporated video shots with special words as they are played. All around, incredible! I'd hire him again in a heartbeat and recommend him to no end!

My name is Preston LaMar Before starting my company in 2021, I was a theatre arts major and actor. I spent 4 years studying acting, lighting, sound, set design, and wardrobe. I had one major goal in mind. I did not want to create the typical cliche films that are out there. I wanted to create videos that were divergent while staying true to an original cinema ambiance. within every video I create there is always a different approach, I strive to be as creative as I can, and always use new themes and artistic choices.

Thank you so much! LaMar productions did an amazing job! We entrusted 100% of our wedding day videos to them, and they definitely made sure that every moment of our wedding was captured! They devoted their time and energy to capturing our big day! They are very creative, organized, detail oriented, dependable, honest, understanding, professional, and trustworthy! We love working with them, and they suggested great ideas for our wedding videos, and they communicated and worked well with our photographer. We are so happy that we picked Preston our lead videographer. We definitely recommend LaMar productions to all of our friends! We can't wait to see the final videos

I am an avid reader. It was important to me for my wedding day (the experience, the photos, and the video) to feel like it was a fantasy novel brought to life. And that is exactly what this video portrays. I could not be happier. My wedding video was beautiful and I feel like they really captured the feelings and emotion of the day. My video was very different from others in the best way possible. The cinematography was incredible. Everyone who has viewed our wedding video tells me it looks like a movie. This video is something I will cherish for the rest of my days. I cannot stop watching it. The magical feeling that is displayed throughout our film is everything I dreamed for. If you are specific in what you want your film to look like, Fine Arts Weddings will nail it for you. They fit so much in to such timely films. I married my high school sweetheart of 11 years. The love we have was shown beautifully in such a romantic and fantastical way. You will not regret booking with them!!

I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I'm also a musician and I help craft most of the music in the wedding films I create. I love working with couples that have unique personalities and styles. My work resonates the most with who it's made for, and I always keep that audience in mind.

Awarded Best of Zola
I was referred to Birch Fields by my cousin (who used Birch Fields for her wedding) 2 weeks before my June 2020 Covid wedding. We decided last minute to have the wedding even if it was just going to be immediate family. Because no extended family or friends were allowed at the time we wanted a way to record the day as if they were there. I had posted I was looking for someone to shoot on a VHS camcorder and film the whole wedding start to finish with no breaks just like old family videos we had growing up. Steven not only was up for the challenge, but spent his whole day capturing every detail of our wedding. We got copies of both 4k and VHS which is so special and cool. We were so impressed and absolutely loved Steven that we have since used him for my Sister-In-Laws baby shower and my Father-In-Laws 70s birthday party. Birch Fields is like family now!

Our wedding business started out with me shooting a wedding video for a very dear friend of mine in 2017. I posted the video to a Facebook business page and BOOM! It received 200,000 views and we started receiving hundreds of inquiries from couples around the PNW. Every year I would book 30-40 weddings doing photo and video for couples. When COVID struck, we had a year crashing into the next year. We had to adapt. So I grew our company to 8 teams of pro photographers/videographers to cover weddings around the US. There is nothing better than capturing love on the biggest day ever. Every day we are thankful to be able to do this.

Sagebrush Films specializes in candid, natural wedding films. Weddings are awesome. Most wedding videos are corny. Sagebrush Films was created to fix that. We capture your day as it happens naturally, without the gimmicks and cheeseball editing. It should go without saying, but we film weddings for couples of any religion, orientation, color or creed.

We are so happy we hired Joel to film our wedding! Joel was a pro when it came to filming the ceremony and reception, we love the final cut he delivered to us. He also was great at taking notes, since we did request a song change and few tweaks to our final wedding video. We appreciate that Joel was so great with the feedback and made sure our video was picture perfect. Also I loved being able to have Super 8 footage of our wedding. We love the retro feel so that definitely was very special to us. Would hire Joel again! Do yourself a favor and book him!

Bryan Khaw Films

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,300
  • Serves Santa Cruz, CA

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 name is Jessica Odnoralov, I’m looking forward to working with you! Wedding videography has been my consistent flow of video work since 2016, and I’ve enjoyed having the opportunity to improve my skills with each new project. I am naturally creative, and always enjoyed photographing and recording fun moments in my life. I also love to travel and see new places, and love collecting memorabilia of my adventures. Plane tickets, stickers, bottles of sand from my favorite beaches, and passport stamps. Nature and exploration is food for my soul.

Do yourself a favor and hire her! We got married during the pandemic and she was extremely flexible and understanding of the situation. Her attention to details are exceptional which is so important to me. The video that she put together of our ceremony and reception is phenomenal. It literally brought tears to my eyes. I will say that I have high standards when it comes to these things and she fully met them. This video will be treasured forever. Thank you Jessica!!

Cook Captures 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Santa Cruz, 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.

i grew up in europe and from the age of 10 used analogue film cameras. i eventually became a fashion/people photographer in milan, austria, new york city and LA. the nostalgia of polaroids inspired me to make weddings films in a more abstract and ephemeral way, like dreams. my films aim to provide a glimpse of what it felt like on your day, conveying an unmistakable essence about you and the experience.

Working with Michael from start to finish was absolutely lovely! He is a true artist. He genuinely got to know us and our story beforehand, and by the time we finally met - he felt like an old friend. From the moment they arrived, he and his assistant were ninjas, getting everything from drone shots (!?) to go-pro footage of the groomsmen in the pool. He never hesitated to throw out amazing ideas and things we could capture. Once we finally had the video - we were ecstatic. It blew our minds! It basically should go to Sundance. But really... wow, we wept looking at the most joyous day of our life be reflected to us in such a cinematic and intimate way. This was not your regular wedding video. It was spectacular! We had a chance to show some of our closest friends right away, and of course, everyone was in love with it, and the consensus was, "This is LITERALLY A FILM!" "This filmmaker is incredible," lots of tears, laughs, smiles etc etc :) We absolutely agree. I can't express enough how awesome Michael is; we LOVE his work! Thank you, thank you, thank you. We are so grateful to have had him as part of our day! To sum it up, he is an absolute pleasure to work with; he has an incredible eye and is professional, collaborative, and kind.

If you're here, then you are probably looking for a wedding videographer. And there's so many out there that it's tough to choose which one will be a good fit for your wedding day. But too often, videographers make the same type of wedding films that aren't that different from the other hundreds out there making the videos feel generic, unauthentic, and boring. Meaning it's hard to differentiate all the videographers you see when on the search.

Jaime and his team (Rachel) were truly the highlight of our wedding day. From our first phone call, Jaime exuded confidence and professionalism to ensure our visions aligned and that I would have something truly special to remember my wedding day. He made quick check-ins throughout the wedding planning process and the week before the wedding we had a longer call to ensure again that we were on the same page and to check if there was anything new he needed to know. On the day of, Jaime was our hypeman, ensuring that every perfect moment was captured along with scenes of the day we will cherish forever! He made sure we were having a great time and I'm so thrilled with how everything turned out. Working with One In A Million Films was honestly the best decision. I would get married all over again to work with Jaime and his team!

Working with Eyeconik Media was an awesome experience. One month before the wedding, I reached out to them to coordinate timelines and ensure that we were on the same page. On the day of the wedding, they were professional, prepared, and a joy to work with. They even provided me with a walkie talkie so I could communicate with them at a venue with limited cell phone service. The final photos and video were amazing. They delivered them quickly and the quality was excellent. I hope I get the chance to work with them again!
