Blue Moon Productions 
  • Documentary style
  • Serves Stanford, CA

My passion for photography and videography all started in a darkroom I built in a closet under the stairs as a high school student. I loved the idea of composing an image within the frame and then watching the photograph materialize like magic before my eyes in the wash of chemicals. When I was 18, my dad bought our family’s first video camera. I was immediately fascinated with the new possibility of capturing moving images, and what I could further create with this tool. Intrigued by all the ways I could retell a story with not only still frames, but though an array of motions and sounds woven together. BMP has captured memories since 2003.

Finisterre Visuals 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Stanford, 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.

Finisterre Visuals was fantastic to work with for our wedding video. Ryan, the videographer, easily described the scenes and shooting locations he wanted to capture, which made the process feel smooth and organized. He worked tirelessly to capture every special moment of our wedding day, with no issues. Ryan presighted the venue ahead of time and came in with a plan, which made the preparations much less stressful. As the sole videographer on site in a public space, he was able to seamlessly capture the sound and footage. Ryan was fully committed to our goal of creating an authentic, high-quality video that would let us relive our wedding day for years to come. The setup and scene prep felt effortless and not at all awkward. We couldn't be happier with the final product and highly recommend Finisterre Visuals.

Cook Captures 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $1,750
  • Serves Stanford, 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.

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
Working with Benjamin Thomas Film for our wedding videography was truly an incredible experience. Ben has a personable, easy-going and professional communication style that made us feel comfortable from our very first conversation. The attention to detail and high quality of his work is evident in the beautiful wedding video he created for us. Ben took the time to capture both of our personalities and showcased this in the video. He also added a personal touch by including a special section dedicated to my mother who is no longer with us, which is a memory that brings everyone to tears when watching our video. We love ending our anniversary each year by watching the video, and our guests always comment on how much fun was had on our special day when we post it online. Thank you for the memories, Ben!

Motel Cinema

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Stanford, 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.

Our beautiful & amazing wedding was on Saturday, October 16, 2021 in the City of Beverly Hills, California. KKWeddingss was our wonderful & professional videographer and we can’t stop telling everyone how wonderful it was to work with Kristiann (owner of KKWeddingss) & how happy we are we chose her. Kristiann, the owner of KKWeddings is amazing & true professional. She is wonderful to work with. From the first moment I reach out to her she has been such a delight & the best to work with. Kristiann did an excellent job with our videography. Her works is truly amazing. She created two beautiful videos for us: A 15 minute highlight wedding video & 1 hour 20 minute full ceremony/reception video. Both videos are amazing. I cried just with watching the highlight video. Honestly the videos are a beauty & the music chosen by Kristiann made is superb. It was just perfect. I watch the videos over & over every day. I also have to comment that every time I reach out to her she has been great at responding & following up. Thank you so much Kristiann for your wonderful & professional service.

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!

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!
