Based in California and open to travel, Tenaya Films specializes in crafting nostalgic wedding films. I have a passion for capturing authentic moments that tell your unique love story. My goal is to create a film that evokes the romantic essence of your special day, providing you with timeless memories to cherish forever.

I recently got to work with Tenaya at a wedding I was photographing. Tenaya is absolutely incredible. We were able to work together collaboratively and support one another throughout the day. She was so kind, and easy to work with, and it is clear she cares deeply about her craft. Since then I have seen a sneak peek of the wedding video she created, and the emotion she was able to evoke from her film was breathtaking. Highly recommend her!

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.

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

Film holds power. It captures mountain breezes through veils, secret shared smiles and zany dance moves. Most importantly, it brings it all back to life. Over the past 10 years here at Zweifel Studios we have been compelled by the power of Story. We've made films about people, businesses, surfing, lifestyle - everything. But bearing witness to weddings - major milestones in the lives of others - are uniquely vulnerable and joyful occasions. These films inherently hold deep meaning and are often looked at for the rest of peoples lives - giving us a sense of responsibility to do our best each and every time.

Ryland and Sarah (Zweifel Studios) were amazing to have with us on our big day. They were fun, made us feel at ease, and were always in the right place but never in the way. Our film captured us perfectly down to the last detail. Can't recommend enough!

The service was excellent, I especially want to point out the drone shots that made our wedding video so much better. The drone operator used it during the ceremony, at a park during cocktail hour, and pretty much used any opportunity to get more drone shots. Seriously, the way they used those shots was on another level! Our wedding looks like a blockbuster film!

He took the time to really get to know us, our story as a couple, and our hobbies. We even found some shared interests, like traveling to Japan and watching Formula One racing! Each email felt warm and sincere, like we were talking to a friend. Hector was also very thorough in finding out exactly what kind of shots we wanted him to film. On the day of our wedding, it could not have gone smoother. Hector and his team were very professional, but also made us feel extremely comfortable the entire time. We thought it would be awkward to be in front of the camera, but we hardly even noticed they were there. It was amazing how they were able to capture the essence of our entire wedding day on film! Four months after our wedding, we traveled to Hawaii for a second wedding reception with family members there that were not able to make it to the actual wedding in California. Hector was able to get our wedding short film finished by then and we were able to play it for our guests at the reception. It was a perfect way to share our wedding day with them! They really felt like they were there! We truly loved working with Hector and would definitely recommend him in the future! We will be cherishing these special memories from our wedding for years to come, all thanks to Hector and his amazing team!

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.

Joshua Jacob Creative’s team were the perfect videographers and photographers for our wedding day. Their communication style was open, insightful, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was truly dedicated, brilliant, and the final product was absolutely gorgeous. They truly embraced the beauty that surrounded our wedding, and as a bride who had no idea what to do, I had so much appreciation for the team that helped alleviate my nerves. Josh even pulled me aside at one point, being the only one who noticed I was having an emotional moment of missing my father who couldn't be there, and he helped me work through the tears and the song that reminded me of my father. We are thrilled with the final video as well as the photos and will cherish it forever. Thank you guys I wish nothing but the best for the future of the team!!

Cinematt Films

  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $8,500
  • Serves Santa Cruz, CA

Real love is not what we find in a book, or on TV. It can’t be boxed in by convention or worn out phrases. Love is unique to each person, each couple. We look to capture that certain je ne sais quoi. Whether you’re romantic or rockin’, refined or even a little goofy, our films reflect who you really are. Your love is your love, and we wouldn’t show it any other way.

I had never heard of a same-day edit until I started wedding planning; when my wedding planner suggested Cinematt, I was really excited to work with Matthieu. He was super easy to work with and responsive. On the day-of the wedding -- and this is an amazing thing -- he was actually almost invisible. I don't remember feeling flustered or bothered by him at all, but he managed to capture amazing video of all things bride- and groom-related. By some miraculous videographer voodoo, he managed to put together an absolutely INCREDIBLE same-day edit that we watched during the reception during the band's break. People were totally stunned to watch the events of the day unfold again, up to the hour before! In addition to the same-day edit, the later videos were put together perfectly and he set it up on a website so it was really easy to search for whatever you needed. If I recall correctly, think it took a couple of months before we got the final video, but it was worth the wait!

Bryan Khaw Films

  • Classic style
  • 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!

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.

Caleb Cook and Cook Captures are top-notch in video production. Caleb's punctuality and clear communication make working with him a breeze. He brings fun and warmth to every event. Plus, his video editing skills turn moments into captivating stories. If you want quality videos with a friendly touch, Cook Captures is the way to go.

Ever since I was a child it has been my dream to become a filmmaker. I love sharing my passion for film with my clients to produce stunning, high quality videos that can be cherished forever. My unique style of filming allows me to capture moments that would otherwise go undocumented and lost forever. Growing up on the Central Coast gave me an appreciation for the serene beauty of nature that I strive to capture with all my films. I currently live in Los Angeles where I work in film and tv, most notably on the Emmy winning show Abbott Elementary.

I am so glad that we booked 1920 video. After speaking with Brandt I knew it was a good fit because he understood my vision for our wedding video. I could tell he had a passion for storytelling and the art of filmmaking. He was able to capture our love story and delivered a beautiful work of art that we can cherish for the years to come.

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!
