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!

Motel Cinema

  • Serves Rancho Santa Margarita, CA

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.

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 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!

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.

Recently, in early 2023, I had the joy of experiencing my wedding day, and I must say, it was made infinitely more memorable thanks to the exceptional work of Scarpace Videographers. Justin and his team were nothing short of phenomenal. Their attention to detail, creative eye for shots, and overall professionalism were evident throughout the day. One of the most remarkable aspects of their service was how they managed to capture the essence of our special day. The day itself flew by in a blur of joy and celebration, leaving me with fleeting memories of those precious moments. However, Scarpace Videographers skillfully captured all those little, yet significant moments, ensuring that every smile, tear, and laugh was beautifully recorded.

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!

Stamper Films has been capturing and editing videos since 2014. Our goal is to tell the story of your wedding in a thoughtful, creative, and genuine way so that you and your guests can remember and relive this special day for years to come.

My husband and I were going back and forth on whether we wanted videography at our wedding, and I am so so glad we decided to go with stamper films! 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.

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!
