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.

  • Starts at $1,850
  • Serves Carlsbad, 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!

Awarded Best of Zola
We are not joking when we say that we hired Saja from Mawaddah productions at 8:30 am on our wedding day after realizing that we almost made one of the biggest mistakes by not having a videographer. And this was definitely the BEST decision we made. We were amazed that Saja not only managed to travel two hours from Boston to Alstead New Hampshire with a last minute notice for the job, but also exceeded our expectations by capturing all these priceless and unforgettable moments with little to no preparation other than a timeline flyer a few hours beforehand. The cinematography is insane: she films so beautifully and candidly, and her attention to details is unparalleled. Through her art and vision, she was able to translate this day which needless to say, went by overwhelmingly fast, into such a beautiful beautiful endless everlasting memory that we can now forever replay. We ABSOLUTELY ADOREDDDD the teaser, the short wedding film and the feature film. We shared it with our entire families and friends and they are completely in love. The short wedding film is on constant repeat. We could not thank her and recommend her enough for her incredible work and talent.

I aim to provide a unique, meaningful experience filled with adventure, laughter, and a whole lot of love. My main goal is to ensure that not only do you receive a kick-ass gallery or video that brings back all the feelings from your day, but that you have an INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE throughout the entire journey! Your wedding day should be fun, STRESS-FREE and memorable. Simple as that. And I will do everything I can throughout the entire process to make sure it is nothing less.

Alanna could not have captured me and my husband’s elopement day more authentically. And truthfully, that was the most important part of the day I got married- it reflecting me and my partner accurately! Alanna woke up at 3am and met up with us to start our special day hiking to an alpine lake in WA. I know that’s not atypical for an elopement photographer; however, it’s hard to find someone more down to earth, calm and relaxed and with the ability to make you feel so safe. That’s Alanna. She has a unique and beautiful gift. My husband and I could not be grateful to have met and worked with Alanna. Our final photos and video (which I’ve watched a near 150 times…no, I mean it) were breathtaking. Could not recommend this woman enough!

(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.
