Hello there! I'm Denis Zwicky, a filmmaker from California. I'm utterly captivated by the beauty of weddings and by couples who yearn for more than just a run-of-the-mill video montage set to music. My passion lies in crafting unique cinematic experiences that tug at the heartstrings long after the vows are exchanged.

My wife and I weren't planning on having a videographer but decided to get one fairly last minute and we have to say it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Denis was superb and we really appreciated his patience and attention to detail not only with the lead up to the day but also following the wedding. Good job!

I am a wedding planner and Musaab of Unveiled Wedding Media worked a wedding with me this past weekend. As a planner of over 6 years, I’ve worked with MANY wedding videographers and Musaab lived up to my high standards. He was great with the couple, and I never had to go searching for him. He was in the action always! He was great at communicating when we had to switch some things around with the timeline and was a great team player. I would definitely love to work with him again!

I had not considered a videographer in our initial wedding planning but changed my mind after seeing Trey's portfolio. Most wedding videos I had seen looked cliched but Trey's videos were lively and unique. Trey spent time getting to know us and took our style into consideration. The whole process was professional and individualized to us and the result was exactly what we hoped for. The wedding day was such a blur that we're so glad to have this curated, beautiful keepsake. We would absolutely recommend!

I had the great pleasure of working together with Ana and Oleg at a destination wedding in Maine. As the photographer for the wedding you work very closely with the videographers - it’s not always easy! Ana and Oleg are the gold standard for professionalism, personality, and talent. They captured the entire day but were never in my frame, not sure how they were so stealthy! They were so creative and we shared ideas for shots and lighting. The wedding we worked together was an intimate one and they blended seamlessly with the small group - no small task when you have to move quickly with equipment. Whenever my clients ask for videographer recommendations I always point them to Cinematic Horizon Films, I even put them on my own website as a preferred partner!

Hi! My name is Nathan Rivers Chesky and I am a wedding storyteller. For over a decade I have captured weddings as a photographer, director, and cinematic videographer. I have traveled the world as a photographer and film maker documenting the genuine beauty of this world in portraits, moments, and real interactions. My team and I have found our place telling the unique story of every couple through photography and video with our specific balance of direction and creating the space for real moments for you to be who you are.

Awarded Best of Zola
By the luck of the draw, Nathan was available for our very quickly planned wedding--we snagged the last date he had in June 2024. I was ecstatic because I had always admired his work. My now husband and I had a blast working with him, we never thought taking photos/videos would be one of the highlights of our big day but it really was. The whole family loved working with Nathan, too. He was laid back but nothing short of a true professional--he was somehow everywhere, capturing everything yet never in the way. He went with the flow with funny family eccentricities that popped up and made everyone feel comfortable. Our photos and video got back to us in shockingly record time and we can't choose favorites because we love them all. Multiple people we've shared photos have said, "that looks straight out of Vogue or a magazine." If you're lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with Nathan in any capacity, whether it be a wedding or other shoot, do not pass this amazing artist up.

We weren't originally going to hire a videographer for our wedding, but ultimately decided to go ahead and do it. Weaver Wedding Films was recommended to us. Everything from start to finish was absolutely phenomenal! They kept in contact with us in the months leading up to the wedding, and had us fill out a questionnaire to make sure everything was clear regarding the details that we wanted them to catch on camera. The day of, they were extremely detailed and thorough. Our highlight film, as well as the videos of our ceremony, first look, first dance, and toasts were all ready less than a month after the wedding, which is SO quick! We were impressed with the turnaround time. The videos themselves are absolutely STUNNING. It's obvious that they really care about getting every single detail exactly right. It was extra special getting to watch the videos with my family for the first time, since my grandfather, who walked me down the aisle, passed away unexpectedly last week. It was so sweet getting to see the beautiful videos of him. We're so grateful to Weaver Wedding Films for not only capturing our special day, but for capturing this beautiful memory of my grandfather that will bring us joy forever.
