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!

Noelle is phenomenal! She was responsive, personable, and made my entire wedding planning process so much easier. She was very comforting but also brought a good dose of humor when needed. Day of our ceremony, it felt like she was part of our family. Everyone loved her and loved how comforting and easy going she was. She listened, offered to help, and was super flexible. When we watched our wedding video, we couldn’t help cry all over again. She got every single angle you could think of and we didn’t even notice her during the ceremony! That is professionalism. She was able to get shots from behind me, behind my partner, down the aisle, everywhere! & she also got the most candid, genuine reactions of our family and friends. The detail snaps of my ring, shoes, flower, dress, etc. was also incredible. She has an eye for sure! I can’t say enough good things about Noelle. I would highly, HIGHLY, recommend her for all videographer (and friend) needs!

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!

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!!

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.

I can't express how grateful we are for our incredible wedding videographer, Steven! He was not only incredibly talented but also the sweetest person to work with. His professionalism and attention to detail were evident in every shot he took.  He beautifully captured all the special moments of our day, and finding someone who could provide high-quality video, drone footage, and 8mm film was a dream come true. When I finally stumbled upon this gem from Virginia, I knew I had found my guy! And I felt compelled to write this review even before receiving our final video because of how much we enjoyed working with Steven and his colleague! I was so comfortable with them and felt like their friend by the end of it all. If the teaser video is any indication (which we received the following day OMG!), the final video will far exceed all our expectations! We will cherish these memories forever, thanks to their amazing work! EASILY, HAPPILY, AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! 12/10! 5 STARS ALL AROUND! If you would like a videographer who has a great product, is easy to work with, is a good human, and makes your wedding day better by being awesome, do yourself a favor and hire Steven! You will not regret it…we sure as heck don’t! Steven, thank you so much! What a positive experience you gave us! You’re the best and we are so grateful! We’re so excited for our final edit! -Laura

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. When Joel sent the link for us to work, my husband and I watched it 10 times in the first hour, we are SO thankful to have hired him and highly recommend him to anyone else looking (or not looking) for that extra special touch capturing your most special 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.

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!

Cook Captures

  • 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.

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.

1920 Video

  • Vintage style
  • Serves Santa Cruz, CA

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!

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!

Lost Generation partner team Emily and Dominic are just the absolute best! They were our wedding videographers and we are so happy they were referred by a friend who also raved about their work. They were very professional, responsive, punctual, very easy to communicate with, always responsive with emails and took their time over zoom calls in understanding what we wanted for our videos. We wanted a natural, documentary style video and Emily and Dominic delivered. They always had our best interest in mind; they never upsold us on anything and we were more than happy with the videos they created! Not only did they work great with us, but with the other wedding vendors. With a different photographer, they worked so well together and made everything work out so smoothly which resulted in amazing videos and photos. And they're a great value! We started with a package but added more after receiving the trailers and can see the high quality work they've put together. Hire Lost Generation as your next videographers, you won't regret it!
