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.

Caleb Cook and Cook Captures are top-notch in video production. Caleb's punctuality and clear communication make working with him a breeze. He brings fun and warmth to every event. Plus, his video editing skills turn moments into captivating stories. If you want quality videos with a friendly touch, Cook Captures is the way to go.

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.

My journey as a wedding videographer is driven by a deep ethical commitment to provide a service that is not only professional but also heartfelt and responsible. I understand that your wedding day is one of the most significant moments in your life, and my approach is rooted in capturing these memories with the utmost care and sincerity. I pride myself on transparency, ensuring that every couple knows exactly what to expect from my services. From clear communication to respecting your privacy and preferences, my goal is to create a trusting relationship with every client.

Justin's professionalism truly shone through at John and Kayla's November 2023 wedding. As a seasoned wedding videographer, he demonstrated the utmost respect for all vendors involved in the event. Justin's commitment to excellence was evident as he arrived earlier than most, ensuring he had ample time to coordinate with fellow vendors. His proactive approach included checking in with everyone involved, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the event's dynamics. Justin meticulously planned the setup of his lights, going the extra mile to communicate and collaborate effectively. When we requested to drape floral designs over his light stands, Justin's cooperative spirit and valuable suggestions enhanced the overall aesthetic. Not only did Justin accommodate our requests, but he also provided insightful feedback on optimal locations for better support, showcasing his expertise in creating visually stunning scenes. The collaboration was seamless, reflecting his dedication to delivering a flawless wedding videography experience.

Hi there! I'm Anthony Hagen, the creative heart behind Wedding Love Film. For shooting over 350 wedding, I've had the privilege of helping couples preserve the magic of their wedding day through beautiful, cinematic wedding films. I believe that your love story deserves to be captured in the most authentic way possible, and that's exactly what I do—crafting films that feel as personal as the moments they represent.

Anthony was easy to work with at the wedding. I was a DJ at the wedding I worked with him and from an artistic standpoint, what I saw of his work so far was great. Just like the rest of the vendors at this wedding, he went with the flow and went above and beyond to give the couple the best experience they could get especially under the crazy weather circumstances we had! Rain almost all day, thunderstorms, a tornado warning (it was an outdoor tent wedding) and some high winds that almost took out the tent! Despite that, he remained positive and fun. His needs from me were minimal (tapping into my sound system) and he made sure I wasn't busy when he asked me about it. If the rest of his work is as good as the little I've seen so far, you can't go wrong with his video service!

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.

Better Half Wedding Video

  • Serves East Los Angeles, CA for additional fees

Better 1/2 started in 2011 in the San Francisco Bay Area. In 2019, I relocated to Chicago. I've filmed about 30 weddings for couples with a range of venues and guest counts. What's consistent is my style, which is personal and beautiful. I tell each couple's wedding story in a tailor-cut video, highlighting the big moments and spotlighting the small ones.

As a wedding photographer, working with videographers often makes my job more difficult. In my experience, most videographers try to create moments by having people do things they would never normally do. They are often an obstacle for photographers to work around. Sometimes multiple videographers are working to get all the angles and they end up creating something of a spectacle of an event when folks are just trying to be natural and enjoy themselves. I had a hard time recommending videographers to my wedding couples... until I met Jenn. Jenn from Better Half Wedding Videography is the exception. She is an incredibly nice person, super respectful of people's time and space. She brings a calming presence to weddings and eases people's nervousness. Jenn is upfront, honest, and discreet. Her work is fun and natural. I am so bummed that she no longer lives in California. When people ask about videographers, I still recommend her. She is the best!

The story of Relive the Day Films all started in the small coastal town Riomaggiore, Italy. Jordan was solo traveling and met a beautiful girl named Kinsey. They shared a sunset over the water and the rest was history. Kinsey encouraged Jordan to pursue what he loved, And he loved the film. So he quit his desk job in insurance and pursued a career in capturing the happiest moments in people's lives; wedding videography.

Booking a videographer was a must for us. We came across a highlight film Relive the Day made for another couple and were instantly captivated. The visuals and music matched perfectly. Jordan and team have a beautiful way of capturing your big day. We went with the highlight film and documentary edit and we can’t recommend them enough. They live up to the name.

(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.

Here at Fervent we believe in passionately capturing your wedding in a real and raw way. Our films are well described as "organic" and we're best at candidly capturing those beautiful moments you're likely to forget.

Working with both Cori and Michael was a dream! We found them after scouring Instagram accounts and seeing what videographer friends and our venue used in the past. We loved how customizable their packages were and found that they were within our budget. We ended up going with a highlight video and opted to purchase all the footage (bc knowing me, I’ll want to remember every little detail). Both Cori and Michael were on top of communication and so incredibly professional throughout the entire process. Come wedding day, Michael came out as our videographer and was the most sweet and nice guy! He worked so well and was in sync with our photographer and was there shooting all of the moments both big and small! We received our highlight video a little over a month after our wedding and are SO IN LOVE with what they created! I can’t stop watching it over and over and our friends and fam keep reaching out saying how beautiful it came out! They matched our music choice so gracefully with the footage and injected so many memorable moments, while also injecting moments of creativity (which were fun surprises)! We will be receiving the rest of our footage soon, and we’re so excited for that as well! I promise you, you won’t regret hiring Fervent Creative! If you’re looking for a sign to hire a videographer, THIS IS IT!
