Bustle & Twine Videography 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $4,490
  • Serves San Rafael, CA

Bustle & Twine specializes in documentary wedding videography - telling the story of your day through all the beautiful details, unexpected surprises, and candid emotions as they unfold. We strive to capture every moment of your day while keeping a low profile.

The Bustle & Twine video team was fantastic - didn't even notice they were there / very much faded into the background but when the videos were delivered (multiple - a fun trailer, highlight video, ceremony video, first dances) you could tell they captured every beautiful moment and more. Their style is real and personal - not overly stylized or dramatic - just intimate and lovely. I cry every time I watch our wedding video! Not to mention the entire Bustle & Twine team is just a joy to work with - friendly, personable, goes above and beyond. Love.

As soon as we looked into Ebullient Memories Films and talked with Hector, his communication was friendly, timely and professional. He had an easy-going demeanor and did not put any pressure on us during the decision process. After we booked him, he put us at ease throughout the planning process while paying attention to detail. On the day of our wedding, he captured so many special moments without taking away from the special moments and our wedding.

Cook Captures 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves San Rafael, CA
  • Offer

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!

Motel Cinema 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves San Rafael, CA for additional fees

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.

Alanna Morgan Videography 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves San Rafael, CA for additional fees

I aim to provide a unique, meaningful experience filled with adventure, laughter, and a whole lot of love. My main goal is to ensure that not only do you receive a kick-ass gallery or video that brings back all the feelings from your day, but that you have an INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE throughout the entire journey! Your wedding day should be fun, STRESS-FREE and memorable. Simple as that. And I will do everything I can throughout the entire process to make sure it is nothing less.

I worked with Alanna this summer for an elopement in the Olympic National Forest. She was so on top of communicating with our couple, helping them find locations, reaching out to people about permits, and really set the whole day up for success. I don’t shoot a lot of elopements in that area, so I felt so inspired & at ease seeing the way she stepped up to help our couple plan their day. Her expertise was the reason the day went so smoothly. Day of, she was gentle and calm with poses & capturing natural moments as they happened. She even hung back to get detail shots of the scenery to really capture the whole story for her final video. Working with her was such a dream. It was my first time meeting her in person and it just felt easy. She’s the best & I am so lucky I got to work with her. :)

I cannot thank Saja and Mawaddah Productions enough for producing the wedding film of my dreams! Saja was a joy to work with. She is exactly the type of person you want around you on your wedding day: calm, kind, and professional. Saja was proactive about communicating with my husband and I during the planning process and made an effort to get to know us and understand our hopes for our wedding day. The final film reflected that intentionality by showcasing the feelings and details of our day beautifully and authentically.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!
