About Motel Cinema

Motel Cinema

Owner

Fueled by nostalgic recalling we aim to create a film that is timeless and authentic. Motel Cinema is based out of San Diego, Ca and our approach to weddings is inspired by the untraditional travelers before us, who hit the road in search of adventure into the unknown. We don't like boxes and we don't want wedding films that fit into one. If that tickles your fancy let's get weird.

Authenticity is important when it comes to weddings and really any sort of storytelling. It's those special in between moments that you can't recreate. The best way that I have found to capture those moments is to take an easy going approach (you can't force the good stuff), be light on my feet (no obnoxious camera gear), and have fun!

I watch the video over and over and cry my eyes out! Getting a videographer was the #1 best decision and the 2nd best was hiring Motel Cinema!! Worth every penny & then some! Will definitely be hiring him again for our vow renewals & special events!!! He’s also super fun to hang out with!! Thank you Brandon for everything! -The Congers

    Motel Cinema captured our wedding beautifully. The attention to detail in our film is fantastic, and my husband and I find ourselves wanting to watch it again and again. Brandon was super laid-back and made sure to catch all the special moments of the day. The song he selected for the video was perfect as well. We're truly thankful and couldn't be more pleased with how everything turned out!

  • We love Brandon!

    Brandon did a lovely job during our wedding. We’d definitely recommend him to anyone else. The video he created was so nice and the music he chose was perfect for us. I rewatched the video, probably 40 times the first day he sent it to us! He was so nice and chill - no pressure from his end during the wedding. He got so many sweet and candid shots that I’ll cherish forever. Thanks so much Brandon!!

    Brandon at Motel Cinema was absolutely incredible! We booked him because we fell in love with his timeless cinematic style, and he delivered exactly what we dreamed of. One thing that really sets Brandon apart from a lot of standard wedding videographers is his ability to incorporate Super 8 film into his videos. It adds such a unique, nostalgic touch and makes his work feel anything but cookie-cutter. This was a must-have when looking for our videographer. Not only is he extremely talented, but what we loved most about working with Brandon was how easy and effortless he made everything. He didn’t need a ton of back-and-forth or planning calls to understand our vision—he just got it. We trusted him completely to capture our day, and he exceeded our expectations! On the wedding day, Brandon was so chill and easygoing. He fit in seamlessly and got along great with our other vendors and our guests. It honestly felt like he was just one of the crew while quietly working his magic behind the scenes. When we saw the final video, we were blown away. It perfectly captured all the love, laughter, and little moments that made our day special. Watching it feels like reliving the best day of our lives, and we couldn’t be happier with how beautifully he told our story. If you’re looking for a videographer who’s insanely talented, easy to work with, and creates one-of-a-kind, timeless wedding films, Brandon at Motel Cinema is the one! Thank you, Brandon!!
