At the heart of my business lies a deep-seated passion for storytelling. I believe that every couple has a unique and compelling narrative waiting to be told, and it's my privilege to bring that story to life on screen.

Louie was the absolute best - truly a dream videographer. From the moment we met him, he brought such a calming and positive energy that instantly put us at ease. On our wedding day, he felt more like a friend than a vendor. He made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera (which is no small feat!) and captured every moment so naturally and beautifully. Louie somehow managed to be everywhere at once while still being totally unobtrusive. He caught all the big, emotional moments and the little candid ones that we didn’t even realize were happening. When we received our wedding video, we were completely blown away. It was edited so thoughtfully and truly felt like us. We’ve watched it more times than we can count, and each time, we’re brought right back to that incredible day. If you're looking for someone who’s talented, kind, and an all-around joy to work with, Louie is your guy. We couldn't imagine our wedding day without him and are so grateful for the memories he preserved so beautifully.

Minea Herwitz Video

  • Serves Hayward, CA

Hi everyone! My name is Minea and the camera is my weapon -- of love! I believe the universe is built on relationships -- and that is also what makes life so rich. We are social creatures, and our biggest source of meaning and strength is with the community we love. I am here to help people celebrate their love and their lives, and to create a lasting artifact - a video - that can be enjoyed for literally the rest of your lives. I take that very seriously! I am in the business creating of things that last for life, including each relationship I engage in, every project I give my heart & mind to. I am an artist, a humanist, and a communicator.

Awarded Best of Zola
There really are no words for how grateful I am to have the beautiful video Minea created for us. She was so professional and yet so genuinely caring and sharing in our joy, and she somehow seemed to be everywhere getting every perfect angle while never being in the way either. She was queer friendly which was a must for us, and we felt so comfortable with her so we could truly just be ourselves and not feel the pressure of being filmed. We had a separate photographer and they worked so well together even having never met before. When she sent me our video I was so blown away with how beautiful and just dreamy it was. We just had our second wedding anniversary and we honestly still sit and watch it together regularly! The most special thing for me was being able to take this video to my family overseas and play it for them, it so truly captured the joy and specialness of the day that they really felt like they had been there and experienced it with us too. This is priceless to me. I would recommend Minea to anyone and everyone I know who is planning their wedding!

Finisterre Visuals 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Hayward, CA

So what does finisterre mean? Finisterre is Latin. If you know some Spanish, you’ll recognize two words squeezed into one: “fin” and “tierra,” essentially meaning the world’s end. Don’t worry, not in an apocalyptic sense of the word — it’s actually a place. It’s where the Romans once stood in modern-day Spain. They looked across the vast Atlantic Ocean, and thought to themselves “is this the end of the road?” Finisterre is an ode to that majestic feeling of unknown. Getting married is one of those unique experiences.

We hired Ryan and his team to capture video for our wedding day. We could not be happier with that decision. The video Ryan created for us is a forever cherished memory. The video book he created has been shown off countless times and is now a favorite toy of our son who likes to point out friends and family as they appear on screen. During the wedding day Ryan’s crew were punctual, professional, and very well coordinated. They knew where to be, what to capture, and worked with minimal support from us or the venue staff. They worked great with our photographers. Our photog even praised how easy Ryan’s crew made the day the next time we met with her. The videos that Ryan created for us were exceptional. We wanted a highlights reel style video of two different lengths. Ryan left us with a short video that we were able to post to social media and a longer video we shared directly with friends and family. They captured all of our favorite moments, put everyone into the video, and weaved together the story of the day beautifully. We still tear up rewatching it three years later. I can’t recommend Ryan and Finisterre Visuals highly enough. It’s hard to know who to trust to capture once in a lifetime moments. For us, Ryan will always be our top choice.

My films are custom made cinematic experiences, reminiscent of 90's and early 2000's era romantic movies with soul. Similar to features like Brown Sugar, Love Jones, and Love and Basketball, my style is tailored to capturing genuineness and encompassing real people experiencing their most beautiful moments. With this in mind, I make sure to apply cinema level techniques to make your most precious event seem like an independent film or documentary.

We had the pleasure of working with Veno, and the experience was amazing. From start to finish, everything about the process was fantastic and I couldn’t be happier with the sneak peeks he has provided. His work was breathtaking and glad we had him film our most important day! From day one, Veno was so passionate and dedicated to create something truly special for Julio and I, and you can see his love for what he does through his work. I can’t wait to see our final wedding video!

As soon as we looked into Ebullient Memories Films and talked with Hector, his communication was friendly, timely and professional. He had an easy-going demeanor and did not put any pressure on us during the decision process. After we booked him, he put us at ease throughout the planning process while paying attention to detail. On the day of our wedding, he captured so many special moments without taking away from the special moments and our wedding. His natural and candid filming style allowed him to document our day beautifully and authentically. The final video was a perfect memento that we will cherish for years to come.

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!

Words cannot describe how thankful we are to Emily and Dominic for their incredible work. The videos they delivered were the most amazing and magical reminders of our special day and we are so excited to be able to relive those moments again and again. From start to finish - booking to the day of to after the wedding, they were both a dream to work with, making everything so easy and effortless. Video was something we weren't sure we could afford and we felt like Lost Generation Picturs offered packages that were priced well for all the content we would receive and wow, did we get more than we could have imagined, it was the BEST decision we made during our planning process. We would HIGHLY recommend working with them if you get the chance!!! Thank you again!!

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
We are over the moon with the work of Cook Captures! Caleb has a remarkable talent for capturing the essence of our special day. The attention to detail in every frame was beautiful and the video we received a was nothing short of magical. Our wedding day was a whirlwind of emotions (and windchill), and Caleb managed to encapsulate those precious moments, creating a visual story that tells the story of our love. The turnaround time for our video was impressive, and the presentation was beyond our wildest dreams. Each moment was thoughtfully edited, and the music selection perfectly complemented the spirit of the day. Caleb turned our wedding day into a cinematic experience we will cherish forever. We cannot express enough gratitude to Caleb for his dedication to preserving the magic of our special day. If you are seeking a videographer who goes above and beyond, Caleb is the one! We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and personable videographer. Thank you, Caleb and Cook Captures, for your exceptional work! Highly recommend!

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.

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was to hire Motel Cinema! As an entertainment marketer, specifically for documentaries, how our wedding would be documented was top of mind for me and I met with quite a few videographers. Brandon completely exceeded my expectations with the moments he caught on film, the editing, the music, the vibe. I really felt like he saw us and reflected it all back to us in the most special way which we will cherish for the rest of our lives. He was an absolute joy to work with through the entire process- easy to communicate with and quick, but also a relaxed energy that fit seamlessly into our wedding weekend. I cannot recommend Motel Cinema enough and I’m so so grateful that we were connected.

HEYYY! *waves hands* We are Leandra & Clinton Cunanan, owners and lead videographers of Food & Cake Wedding Films. We are huge advocates for doing exactly what you want on your wedding day. We had the most epic wedding of all time (ask us about it!), but we didn't hire a videographer. And now this why we do what we do. It's the best feeling knowing each one of our couples will be able to relive their wedding day for the rest of their lives. We didn't have that, and now we get to give that to you!

I am so blown away by not only the quality of Clint and Leandra's work as videographers, but also what wonderful people they are! Not even halfway through our first zoom with them to talk about what packages they offer and our vision for the day I knew they were the perfect fit for us! Being with them on the wedding day felt like hanging out with old friends, they were amazing at blending in to the crowd to capture candid moments while also giving us prompts that created some of our favorite memories of the day. They worked so well with our other vendors and I don't think our day would have been complete without them. They are masters at what they do, and also the perfect people to have during a busy and, at times, stressful day (Leandra was able to bussle my dress when no one else could get the loop on the buttons AND snagged me some appetizers when I was resting my feet after the receiving line, she was a lifesaver!) My husband and I both teared up watching our trailer and highlight reel, and then happy cried getting to see our whole ceremony, private vows, speeches, and first dances. I know this is footage we’ll be so happy to look back on in the years to come, not just of my husband and I but of our whole families as well! I'm so happy we found Food Cake, you will not regret hiring this fantastic couple!
