At the heart of my business lies a deep-seated passion for storytelling. I believe that every couple has a unique and compelling narrative waiting to be told, and it's my privilege to bring that story to life on screen.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Louie for my wedding, and I can't express enough how thrilled I am with the emotional wedding film he produced. He took the time to understand our vision and captured every precious moment of our special day with such artistry and attention to detail. Watching the film brought tears to our eyes. The music selection, editing, and storytelling were all flawless, and we will cherish it forever. I highly recommend him!!! Thank you for giving us a gift we will treasure for a lifetime.

I work as head of post production for a wedding film company. I've been working with Minea and her footage for years and she's one of the best! She has a creative eye and captures all the special moments, big and small. Her footage is beautiful. She makes her clients feel at ease so they can enjoy their day without feeling uncomfortable being filmed. I work with a lot of videographers, and Minea truly is one of the best. Highly recommend!

Finisterre Visuals 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves San Pablo, 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.

This review is long overdue and for that we apologize! We hired Ryan and his team to be our videographers for our wedding at the Corner Barn in Graeagle, CA this past July and are so thankful for our decision. Ryan was the main videographer and brought an additional shooter. Between the two of them, they got absolutely amazing footage. Ryan is a mastermind with putting the footage all together and turning it into one beautiful video. All the little details were brought together in such an artful way that we are so impressed with. We loved his style of video, especially the documentary part. He interviewed important people, such as family members, MOH, and BM, at different parts throughout our special day and had those included in the video as well. Ryan was so kind and communicative throughout the whole process. It was obvious how knowledgeable and passionate he was and we were so comfortable working with him and trusting him with our most special day. He did a great job of thinking of every detail to make it special. Once the video was done, my husband and I received a portable video player that showed his work and it was such a great surprise! Overall, we could not recommend Ryan enough to hire as your videographer.

My films are custom made cinematic experiences, reminiscent of 90's and early 2000's era romantic movies with soul. Similar to features like Brown Sugar, Love Jones, and Love and Basketball, my style is tailored to capturing genuineness and encompassing real people experiencing their most beautiful moments. With this in mind, I make sure to apply cinema level techniques to make your most precious event seem like an independent film or documentary.

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!

Just the kindest couple and great to work with. I brought Emily and Dominic on to capture our wedding after speaking to many vendors, and have absolutely no regrets. They were attentive and positive from the consultation through delivery. I loved how personal the final films turned out to be, unlike many of the templatized ones that are commonplace these days, though I am not surprised given their process. They took time to understand our vision, and worked well with our planner to seamlessly integrate the specifics that we wanted into the wedding timeline (interviews with each of us, some key guests, and a few special surprises). As someone with a production background, I was really impressed with their professionalism and execution. Thank you for capturing our amazing day so well!

Cook Captures

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $1,750
  • Serves San Pablo, 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 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.

They did an amazing job capturing all the sweet moments of our big day while somehow being barely noticeable. The trailer, highlight reel, and ceremony/reception videos were so sweet, we cried while watching them. We loved working with the whole B&T team so much, I absolutely would not hesitate to work with them again. Just really wonderful people who do fantastic videography.

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.

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!
