Featherstone Wedding Films 
Rating: 5.0 (24 reviews)
Benicia, CA
  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $2,600

I’m Colin Pattison, owner and filmmaker at Featherstone Wedding Films. I film weddings because I believe in the power of marriage, and I have a passion for capturing special moments on film. I’ve helped countless couples create their ideal wedding film for over 10 years. My goal is to capture lasting memories through beautiful, personalized wedding films. From first consultation, to finished film, I’ll be with you every step of the way.

Colin was probably one of the easiest vendors to work with. We chatted on the phone to get to know him, sent him our deposit and that was that! We talked a bit leading up to the wedding, but he and my photographer communicated to get on the same page/ timeline so I didn’t have to stress much about that either. The day of, him and his team were wonderful all day. They themselves were professional, and all his gear was as well. One of the things I appreciated most about Colin was his ability to be everywhere to get footage, but he was secretive about it, so those that are shy on camera didn’t feel pressured. My videos I got were AMAZING. I don’t know how many times we have watched the videos together or how many I’ve watched it alone but, every time feels like the first. It’s beautiful work and truly captured our wedding day and our personalities. We also got raw footage from him that had us cackling. It’s awesome seeing the day again through both the finished product and the raw footage. Thank you Colin for everything. I highly recommend Colin to everyone!!

  • Beauty professional

I have always been passionate about beauty! When clients ask me how long I have been doing this, my answer is: "I have about 15 years of experience doing makeup but 8 years doing makeup professionally". I started off initially doing makeup for friends and family, then family friends + friends of friends. I then got a job working at Sephora where I learned a lot about products and working w/ different skin types/tones, ages and styles of makeup etc for 7 years. In 2018 I decided to assist another bridal MUA and that is where I was introduced to the bridal/wedding world & I have loved it since! Booking 2026 and 2027 weddings now!

Danica was amazing! She gave me and my bridesmaids the perfect soft, natural glow without feeling caked in makeup. She was on time, professional, and made the whole process stress-free. My makeup lasted all night through happy tears and dancing, and she even stayed for touch-ups before I walked down the aisle. I couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist on my wedding day!

My wedding was in May and the weather surprised us by dumping buckets of rain during the ceremony. Thomas was so helpful with all of his direction and suggestions for the ceremony. He was able to keep his cool and roll with the punches on our very crazy day. Our Photos are absolutely stunning! I honestly can't say enough good things about him. He took so many photos and his editing is wonderful. He also did our engagement photos all the way in Yosemite. He not only drove 3 hours one way for the engagement shoot but also drove an obscene amount of hours for our wedding. He put in so much work and I can't thank him enough.

We hired Brendan Reiss to film our wedding. Brendan was easy to communicate with and was able to answer all of our questions. The way Brendan filmed our wedding was truly magical. One unique thing Brendan did was filming aerial views of our wedding venue with his drone. He used top of the line equipment to film our wedding and didn’t miss any important shots. The highlight video and long video Brendan provided us was breathtaking. The videos were high quality, and the music chosen truly matched our wedding. We want to say thank you Brendan for your thoughtfulness, and flexibility working with us. The videos you made for us will be something that we cherish forever. You gave us the gift of being able to relive the happiest day of our lives. We cannot thank you enough for all that you’ve done. We highly recommend hiring Reiss Films for your next event!

The team at Jefferson Street Mansion are so professional, organized, and kind throughout the whole planning process. I have a busy life and the easy planning and guidance with them made it stress free. I reached out about all types of questions and the Jefferson team deserves a "A !". They are on top of everything and make you feel so special and heard. We worked with Sophia at our first wedding planning meeting and she was such a sweetheart. Jasmine the manager was also on top of our questions and she definitely wears her heart on her sleeve. She made us feel like we weren't a burden because I am type "A". She made my husband I feel so comfortable. HUGE shoutout to Amanda who facilitated our final meeting and was also our day of coordinator. Words cannot describe how well rounded, professional, and at ease with felt with Amanda. She is extraordinary and truly loves what she does and you can see and sense it. She kept up with our wedding timeline the day of and with our hectic Italian and Filipino families she is a wizard for that. My Mother recently got a knee replacement and said that Amanda was so patient and caring towards her. Special thanks to DJ Saul who made the whole wedding so eventful and lively. Robby and I appreciate the whole team and how amazing the wedding went. Our family and friends cannot stop raving about how delicious the food was and smooth the whole day went. It was a great time! Grateful for you all! Thank you again to Amanda, Jasmine, Kathy, Kaitlin, Sophia, Jane, Fabi, and Saul️

So, what are we about and how did we end up here? Well, for starters, we've been together for almost twenty years and continue to find ways to laugh with each other. (Yes, 20 years!) Being a kid at heart will do that to you. Not to mention, being responsible for #hellakids will do that to you as well. With four kids in tow, it's never a dull moment in the Kenoly household to say the least!

Madelynn and Amari are an absolute joy to work with. Not only is their work absolutely stunning, but they are also just such fun, friendly, and professional people. Their love for each other and the warmth and love they extend to others makes all the difference. We’re pretty camera shy, but Madelynn and Amari made us feel so comfortable and just blended into our wedding party as if they were our guests. They were also flexible around timing, hours, and budgeting, which was a huge help for us. The end result was also incredible. They captured both posed and candid moments from our wedding weekend — as well as the beautiful scenery around us — with class, warmth, and beauty. Just absolutely gorgeous and not at all cliche like many other wedding photographers. Thank you again, Mad and Amari, for doing such an incredible job and really feeling like a partner throughout the process together!

I’ve been playing weddings for over twelve years and I love my work! My services cover any or all aspects of wedding & receptions. I have found my life’s artistic calling in becoming flexible to every type of music my clients could desire. I learn to enjoy whatever my clients love and this resonance makes my job sustainable and ever-enjoyable. But, I do tend to request the ability to make choices for the dance-floor that rely on my years of dance-enhancing experience. I meet with my clients to determine what music they would love to hear and what music they do NOT want to hear.

Brandon and his team did a fantastic job! Despite the cold weather, my wife and I and our friends and family had an awesome time. We enjoyed the sound from our wireless mics, the pacing of the dinner music, the props and funny pics from the photo booth, and the energy on the dance floor. We almost didn’t get the Photo Booth, but we added it in last minute and we're glad we did. Highly recommend Brandon and his team. Great vibes all around.

Golden Bells was PHENOMENAL! Marlon and the entire band absolutely crushed it at our wedding. Not only is every musician insanely talented, but Marlon curated the night perfectly -- easing in with oldies to get our parents and older guests moving, then seamlessly shifting into the EDM, pop, and Bay Area rap we love. It felt like the soundtrack of us, and everyone could feel that. One of the highlights of the night was when the band came onto the dance floor with drums, trumpet, guitar, and trombone -- and even let us drum in a bit. The energy was unbelievable. And Hava Nagila with a full live band? Unreal. The band/DJ fusion setup made the entire reception feel elevated, unique, and unforgettable. They're truly a one-of-one. We got so many compliments throughout the night and later about the music, the vibe, and the experience the band created. Everything ran smoothly -- from emceeing to sound to transitions -- and you can tell the quality of their equipment and professionalism is top-notch. We can't thank Marlon and the Golden Bells team enough for making our wedding feel like a celebration we'll never forget. Highly, highly recommend them!

Trained by his late father, the legendary DJ TeddyB, music is in his DNA. Every beat he drops carries a legacy of passion, precision, and pure joy.

Trecee was our DJ for our outdoor wedding reception, and he was amazing! My husband and I were originally going to just play music from our phone, but I’m glad that we found and hired Trecee instead! With no coordinator and last minute changes before and on the day of our wedding, Trecee remained professional, flexible, and fun as our DJ and MC! He followed our song cue list wonderfully, and helped us remix our first dance songs just how we planned. He made announcements we had set on the schedule as well as additional ones requested. He also made funny comments, which totally added to the vibes. His music choices were just what we were looking for, and even with a request by my family to switch to slower songs, he did it seamlessly; Fun, hyped songs for the younger crowd and romantic songs for the elders. He arrived about 45 minutes before his contract hours started to set up and even gave us (bridal party) warnings and updates on getting behind or on track of schedule! (Which is very helpful as, again, we didn’t have a coordinator.) Overall, he is a great DJ & MC, and my now husband and I would highly recommend his services! I will post more pictures once available.

Kanteen was founded by Chef Dinesh & Vishwas — two food lovers whose journey began in the most unexpected place: a badminton court. During the Covid years, Chef Dinesh created a unique 5- course Friday night menu for home delivery. Around the same time, I (Vishwas) was finishing his MBA at Wharton. The menu’s bold flavors and creativity struck a chord so deeply that I dropped my plan to move into finance and instead followed my passion. With our shared love for food, we started Kanteen. What began as a simple idea has grown into one of the Bay Area’s most trusted catering teams, delivering elevated, heartfelt experiences for large events.

Our guests were blown away by the quality of catering provided by Kanteen at our reception! Chef Dinesh and his team are clearly very skilled at producing delicious food with great presentation. Vishwas’s business is growing and in very high demand, so you may need to be a little patient with them, but they really came through in the end. Highly recommend Kanteen!

Ebbony is a terrific officiant and handled our ceremony so well. Her process and scriptwriting gave us such a sweet and memorable wedding ceremony. Our guests even mentioned how touching and meaningful it was. Thank you so much!

Natalie and Pedro are the absolute best!! Not only are they both so kind, friendly, and personable, but so professional, patient, and organized. From the start of the planning process, I felt at ease with Natalie. I appreciate the fast communication, along with how open and upfront she is about everything, I really didnt have to ask her any questions. I am not photogenic at all lol and was so nervous about taking photos, but they made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I appreciated the directions they gave and how my husband and I could be silly and have a fun time whiIe taking pictures. I highly recommend having both Natalie and Pedro, you can never go wrong with 2 photographers! I got my sneak peeks yesterday and I am in total awe of the photos, I literally cried at how stunning they are. I cannot wait to see them all. You want Natalie and Pedro to capture your special day. Thank you both SO much!! here are engagement and wedding photos.

We got married on August 23rd at The Gardens at Heather Farm, and we loved our experience. The gardens were stunning, and Jenna (the event coordinator) was responsive and so helpful throughout the whole process. We loved being able to have an outdoor ceremony and mingling hour, and then an inside reception in the Camellia Room. We got many compliments on the venue from our guests. I also highly recommend Elisas Catering (we served street tacos) and rg Media (https://rgmedia-llc.com/contact) for photography/videography. I love the natural vibes of the Gardens that allow you to do minimal decorating but still create a beautiful wedding.
