Cook Captures

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.

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.

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!

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!

550Park Luxury Wedding Films

  • Documentary style
  • Serves Manhattan Beach, CA

Brent is considered one of the top wedding cinematographers based out of the Northeastern USA. He frequently travels the globe, documenting weddings for couples who deserve the best of the best. After growing up in Central Jersey, Brent chose to move down to Nashville for college and then shortly after graduation, officially founded 550Park out of New York City. He is a passionate tennis player, chef, and world adventurer.

550Park has been the most responsive, most professional, and most accommodating of all the vendors we had at our wedding. Brent spent a great deal of time preparing, providing professional advice, and making sure we got exactly what we wanted. I'm generally a cheap person, willing to cut a few corners in order to save money. My now husband was not willing to cut any corners when it came to videography, though. I now agree that we (or he) made a wonderful decision hiring 550Park as our videographer. I couldn't ask for more.

She did an amazing job capturing our day. What we wanted was a video that showed exactly what it was like to be at our wedding, and we felt that the video we received did exactly that. Her edits tied in speeches with some of the fun happening at the wedding seamlessly. She even included footage that corresponded to what was being said in the audio. We felt our video came out very special and it is something we will cherish forever.

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.

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!

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.

Firstly, they were affordable and fit in our budget. Even better, their style is documentary-like filming which we love! Looking at our videos now, it feels like an authentic, real, romantic view was captured. Yan Li was super easy to work with & everything went seamlessly. We felt very comfortable with him & his assistant, and they were so respectful of our photographer as well. Our wedding video makes me cry just thinking about it. Then I turn it on & I really start to cry— our vows overlayed on top of the footage, the scenery & details that were captured, & especially the emotion Stamper Films got on camera. 10/10 and if I ever needed videography again I would go to Stamper Films.

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. You truly get to relive your wedding day through the documentary. Above all, Jordan is friendly and patient. Any question we had, he was quick to answer. It’s a gift to have your big day captured so well and to get to see it in film forever. A big plus was how incredibly professional and kind Jordan and team are. Every moment, feeling, and loved one, for you to always look back on. Booking Relive the Day Films was the best decision, we can’t recommend them enough!!
