Cook Captures 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Carmel-by-the-Sea, 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 is super easy going and easy to get along with. His work also speaks for itself, it’s high quality and exactly what you want! He captures people in the entirety and a good turn around time. I would highly recommend him to everyone!

Lost Generation Pictures

  • Documentary style
  • Serves Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA

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!!

Finisterre Visuals 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Carmel-by-the-Sea, 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!

Films by Nadia

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $1,600
  • Serves Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA

Born and raised in Ecuador, Nadia Belen moved to New Jersey at age 8 where she was raised in a cultural melting pot within close proximity to New York City. Straight out of college, she became part of a wedding collective in the New York metropolitan area as a videographer in 2019. Currently residing in Los Angeles, Nadia continues to focus on capturing raw and organic moments in everyday life through street photography, music videos, and of course wedding films.

Nadia captured our wedding day with the exact energy I was looking for! She took the important details that I was interested in (candid family-oriented shots) and blended them into a 10 min TREASURE that I will never stop watching. Her smile is contagious and her communication following our wedding was impeccable. So grateful for this forever memory of our day!

Hello! I am based in Phoenix but travel all over! With over 12 years of wedding experience I love creating documentary style films. Using super 8 + digital video blended together to create fun and playful videography for weddings and elopements!

We had an amazing experience working with Sun Hand Films for our wedding photography/videography. Kendra and her team were incredibly friendly, clear, and helpful throughout the entire process. Their communication was top-notch, and they made sure the timeline went smoothly on the big day. The quality of their work is truly gorgeous - their candid, documentary-style work captured all the special moments in a beautiful and authentic way. You can tell Kendra is a seasoned pro at handling weddings, and her use of a Super 8 camera created such a unique and stunning final product. I loved seeing her final wedding gallery and would highly recommend Sun Hand Films to any couple looking for talented, reliable wedding creative.

Bustle & Twine Videography

  • Starts at $4,490
  • Serves Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA

Bustle & Twine specializes in documentary wedding videography - telling the story of your day through all the beautiful details, unexpected surprises, and candid emotions as they unfold. We strive to capture every moment of your day while keeping a low profile.

The Bustle & Twine video team was fantastic - didn't even notice they were there / very much faded into the background but when the videos were delivered (multiple - a fun trailer, highlight video, ceremony video, first dances) you could tell they captured every beautiful moment and more. Their style is real and personal - not overly stylized or dramatic - just intimate and lovely. I cry every time I watch our wedding video! Not to mention the entire Bustle & Twine team is just a joy to work with - friendly, personable, goes above and beyond. Love.

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's work speaks for itself. He captures beautiful stories and presents them in a way you never thought possible. You'll laugh, you'll cry and you'll find yourself saying things like "Dang, we look so good!" - because you'll feel like movie stars. And while you'll feel like Hollywood royalty, you won't have to worry about the paparazzi cramping your style - Ben's subtle and intuitive work flow captures all the important moments without ruining the vibe. He's easy to get along with, he knows what he's doing, and his films allow you to revisit your special day as often as you'd like. TL;DR Felt like movie stars, everything looked amazing, book Ben: A fun, creative & artistic professional.

Motel Cinema 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA for additional fees

Fueled by nostalgic recalling we aim to create a film that is timeless and authentic. Motel Cinema is based out of San Diego, Ca and our approach to weddings is inspired by the untraditional travelers before us, who hit the road in search of adventure into the unknown. 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.
