Cook Captures 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Cardiff, 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
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!

KS Media Productions 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $1,850
  • Serves Cardiff, CA

Based in Southern California - filming wherever your love goes. With 5 years as a professional videographer, I discovered a passion for filming weddings and documenting moments that’ll last forever. I have a background in video production and as a colorist as well as a degree in Film Production from NYU.

KS Media Productions were true professionals and a huge asset to have for our wedding this year. We saw samples of their work and immediately wanted our wedding to be captured in that light. It was definitely a fresher feel for videography. On our wedding day, it rained for a good part. KS Media Productions (along with our photographer) worked together to come up with great shots to capture the special moments of our wedding despite the weather. The improvisation KS Media had was phenomenal. Our photographer also had the highest of praises for them when it came to working with them on the professional side and communication side. We couldn't have asked for anyone better than KS Media Productions. We can not wait to see the final product, but I can tell you that we 100% recommend KS Media Productions for any event. Thank you Kristi and KS Media Productions for making our wedding amazing and we hope nothing but the best for you as you start your next chapter in life! Thank you again!

I cannot stress enough how much we recommend Alex and NY Wedding Films! He did an absolutely incredible job capturing footage surreptitiously throughout our wedding day, and then producing the most wonderful highlight reels. They are so beautifully done and we will treasure them always. We almost didn't book a videographer because of our budget concerns, but the prices are so reasonable, and the value of the product is beyond measure. Thank you for everything, Alex! If I could give 10 stars here I would!

My name is Ben. I am a LA-based Wedding Filmmaker who runs on emotion-driven films that tell the story of you as a couple. The wedding day for sure! - But lets be honest, the wedding day is only whatit is because of who you are together before and after the day is done. Let's get some of that. That's the stuff that lasts longer than a few years after your wedding. The stuff your kids will pull out and watch.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ben is such a talented videographer! We are super happy with the film and had a great experience working with him. His artistic take on editing and music makes the film an emotion triggering art piece. We also really appreciate his support during the pandemic. We had to reschedule twice during the whole process, not only was he flexible, he didn't even raise the price after two years and flew all the way to Seattle for our wedding. Thank you, Ben!

We are so happy we went with the Shalom Imaginative for our big day and highly recommend them to anyone in need of photographers!

(Formerly Cultura Productions) My name is Anthony Trujillo the owner and principal videographer of Retro Films. I started my company because I wanted to capture one of the most special moments in a person's life, their wedding day. I personally will be involved in filming and editing each and every wedding film that my company creates.

Anthony is the best wedding videographer I've ever worked with! He's so knowledgeable and very professional. Living in Arizona as a lesbian couple and finding a wedding videographer was hard but once we found Retro Films it was a dream come true. My fiancé (and now wife!) were also worried about budget and spending so much on a wedding video. But he offered us a payment plan and it really made the process so much easier. Honestly working with Retro Films was worth all the time and dollars spent. On the day of our wedding Anthony was so professional and really captured everything that we were looking for and more. The video came out amazing and we find ourselves watching and rewatching it. He was really able to capture our love and joy and we're so happy with how the whole process went.
