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!

Kristiann did an amazing job with our videography! She communicated great beforehand and worked with my coordinator to make sure everything was good to go in our schedule. She was very thorough to get all the shots I wanted and then some! She was great to work with and our video was fantastic. She captured some great moments and my whole family laughed and cried. She definitely did some great comedic cuts as well from the night to make it something I will love to watch forever! I definitely recommend her for your wedding.

Cook Captures

  • Serves Rancho Santa Margarita, 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!

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 an absolute delight to work with for our wedding videography. From the start, their communication was always punctual, professional, and courteous. Kristi and Karina were amazing to collaborate with - they meshed so well with our photographer and made the entire experience 10 times better. My husband is usually quite shy, but they made him feel completely comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. The final product they delivered was truly top-notch and so heart-warming. Kristi was also incredibly responsive throughout the process and captured our wedding day perfectly. We could not be happier with the magical highlight video they created for us.

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.

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!

HEYYY! *waves hands* We are Leandra + Clinton Cunanan, owners and lead videographers of Food + Cake Wedding Films. We are huge advocates for doing exactly what you want on your wedding day. We had the most epic wedding of all time (ask us about it!), but we didn't hire a videographer. And now this why we do what we do. It's the best feeling knowing each one of our couples will be able to relive their wedding day for the rest of their lives. We didn't have that, and now we get to give that to you!

I am so blown away by not only the quality of Clint and Leandra's work as videographers, but also what wonderful people they are! Not even halfway through our first zoom with them to talk about what packages they offer and our vision for the day I knew they were the perfect fit for us! Being with them on the wedding day felt like hanging out with old friends, they were amazing at blending in to the crowd to capture candid moments while also giving us prompts that created some of our favorite memories of the day. They worked so well with our other vendors and I don't think our day would have been complete without them. They are masters at what they do, and also the perfect people to have during a busy and, at times, stressful day (Leandra was able to bussle my dress when no one else could get the loop on the buttons AND snagged me some appetizers when I was resting my feet after the receiving line, she was a lifesaver!) My husband and I both teared up watching our trailer and highlight reel, and then happy cried getting to see our whole ceremony, private vows, speeches, and first dances. I know this is footage we’ll be so happy to look back on in the years to come, not just of my husband and I but of our whole families as well! I'm so happy we found Food Cake, you will not regret hiring this fantastic couple!
