Finisterre Visuals 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Berkeley, 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.

My husband and I cannot speak highly enough of our experience with Ryan and Hazen as our wedding videographers! Ryan and Hazen brought an incredible blend of professionalism and warmth to our special day. Their kindness and genuine interest in our love story made us feel like we were working with a friend rather than just a vendor. The final video exceeded our wildest dreams and brought tears of joy to our eyes. It’s a priceless keepsake that we will treasure for a lifetime, thanks to Ryan and Hazen’s incredible work. If you’re looking for a wedding videographer who is not only skilled but also kind, amazing, and fun to work with, look no further than Ryan and Hazen. They are truly a gem in the industry! Thank you for giving us the gift of memories that we will cherish forever!

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot express enough how incredibly grateful I am for the exceptional work done by Hector. He and his lovely girlfriend captured every moment of my surprise engagement with such ease and creativity. From the initial consultation to the final delivery, his professionalism and attention to detail was truly outstanding. Hector worked with me every step of the way, initially I wanted drone footage, but he found out it was illegal off the coast of California, we then pivoted and worked out another solution. He was also checking the weather for me, as it was supposed to be raining that weekend, he helped me pick a plan B, in case the location I wanted wouldn’t work, it took a lot of stress off of me, which was so nice. The video he produced is nothing short of breathtaking; it perfectly encapsulates the love and joy of that special day. Thank you, Hector, for providing us with a treasure that we will cherish for a lifetime. I wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone looking to capture their most precious moments with brilliance and heart.

We are passionate about filmmaking and can't wait to hear more about your love story!

Emily and Dominic are an incredible team to work with! The quality of the content they delivered to us was top-notch and truly captured all the little details of our big day.

Cook Captures 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $1,750
  • Serves Berkeley, 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

We hired B&T for our wedding videography as part of a package with our photography. It was so seamless and they were so professional! They did an amazing job capturing all the sweet moments of our big day while somehow being barely noticeable. The trailer, highlight reel, and ceremony/reception videos were so sweet, we cried while watching them. We loved working with the whole B&T team so much, I absolutely would not hesitate to work with them again. Just really wonderful people who do fantastic videography.

We were really struggling to find a videographer that understood what we wanted and was within our budget. Dianna was warm and friendly from the start! She was very patient as we talked through everything we wanted in our video. On the day of our wedding, she was very thorough and captured some shots that we didn't even know happened! We were worried that our photographer and videographer would get in the way of guests' views but Dianna was very respectful and was able to capture beautiful footage without disrupting our guests. We cannot recommend Dianna enough!

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!
