My name is Preston LaMar Before starting my company in 2021, I was a theatre arts major and actor. I spent 4 years studying acting, lighting, sound, set design, and wardrobe. I had one major goal in mind. I did not want to create the typical cliche films that are out there. I wanted to create videos that were divergent while staying true to an original cinema ambiance. within every video I create there is always a different approach, I strive to be as creative as I can, and always use new themes and artistic choices.

LaMar productions blew us away with the quality and content of our wedding video. Moments we didn’t even know happened were captured and thanks to the masterpiece they created we get to relive our special day continually. Could not be happier with the professionalism, delivery and execution of our wedding video. Not to mention the turn around time was incredible!

We used Eivan's for both engagement photos and our wedding and couldn't be happier. They are wonderful about asking for your input and making sure you are truly happy with what you are getting. The photographers and videographers are the perfect mixture of professional and casual/friendly so that you are comfortable. We loved Rachael H for engagement photos, and Heather G (photo) and Dmytro L (video) for our wedding. They also actually care about you and the event itself, starting with asking you about your story. We got both a photographer, videographer, and engagement photos for a great bundle price, which was so helpful. Customer service is also fantastic about answering questions thoroughly and quickly. After booking and after the events, they send you information about what to expect, etc. I did quite a but of research into photography companies, and I would highly highly recommend Eivan's!

Chris was amazing to work with. From the start, the pre-planning was super straightforward and gave us total confidence in what to expect. On the day, he worked seamlessly with our photographer - they felt like such a great team and made my fiance and I feel like celebrities for a day. The videos themselves blew us away. The framing, the balance of music and natural sound, and the way he captured the energy of the space (the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles) made it feel like we were right back at our wedding. The sounds quality in particular was unexpectedly amazing-vows, speeches, etc. The end product was cinematic yet tender and honest, and gave us a chance to see the day through our friends’ and families’ eyes. The finished video took a few months, but it was absolutely worth the wait. Reliving the day in this way has been such a gift, and we’re so grateful. Couldn’t recommend Chris more highly.

Our wedding business started out with me shooting a wedding video for a very dear friend of mine in 2017. I posted the video to a Facebook business page and BOOM! It received 200,000 views and we started receiving hundreds of inquiries from couples around the PNW. Every year I would book 30-40 weddings doing photo and video for couples. When COVID struck, we had a year crashing into the next year. We had to adapt. So I grew our company to 8 teams of pro photographers/videographers to cover weddings around the US. There is nothing better than capturing love on the biggest day ever. Every day we are thankful to be able to do this.

Any talented wedding videographer can create a slo-mo 5-minute cinematic wedding film of your wedding but there's so much more to a wedding day than that. And this is what separates us from all of the other wedding videographers out there. While, we craft our videos around the love you share, the fun moments that happen throughout the day are what makes each story so unique. So, as you'll notice in the examples, no two wedding videos are the same. We customize each wedding video we create to fit the couple we're working with as well as the flow of the day, which will allow you to relive your day the way that it actually happened!

Gordon was incredible to work with from start to finish! We had a big church wedding and he captured it all! Our highlight video is so poignant and special to us and everyone who watches it tears up. He was so prompt in returning our videos and even a year later when I needed help with accessing the videos again (because I am so not tech savy), he texted back within minutes to help me.

Brett is a stand up guy! I am extremely happy that we got to work with him as our photographer/videographer. He is very professional and is patient to help you see the bigger picture. I was very against doing a first look but Brett let us know the pros/cons and let go over everything to decide. We ended up doing a first look and don't regret it one bit! My husband cried when he saw me and cried when I walked down the isle. Brett and his team was able to capture some awesome and unforgettable moments.

Edward Lau Film

Born and raised in Hong Kong, Edward Lau’s passion for storytelling and filmmaking began at a young age. His journey into the world of cinema led him to SFSU, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Cinema. After graduation, Edward later returned to HK, where he immersed himself in both the television and film industries. Edward has pursued his own creative projects, producing and directing several independent films. With one of his films earning an Audience Award at a local film festival—a testament to his talent and ability to connect with viewers through compelling storytelling.

Edward went above and beyond for my husband and I. We contacted Edward the week of our wedding because our original videographer turned out to be a scam. My message was panicked and probably all over the place but he hopped onto our crazy ride, promised a great price and was ready to go. THEN, my husband and I learned we had COVID and had to postpone the wedding for two weeks. This didn't phase Edward. He was going to be there, the price was the same, and he was so kind and communicative. Day of the wedding he shows up and gets to work. He is incredibly kind, he worked amazingly with our other vendors, especially the photographer and and wedding planner. He really just knows how to step back and capture what is happening. He also knows exactly when to step in and get the particular shot he wants. He even stayed a little while longer without charging us. He was seriously such a delight leading up to the wedding and the day of the wedding. I just got the wedding video and I had to make sure I came here to sing his praises because the video IS AMAZING. So far I have only watched the sneak peek because my husband wants to wait to watch the video with his family, which, fine, but I want to watch it all now! Edward took one of my favorite songs and used it exactly as I dreamed in the preview. There is so much that went into that preview that I didn't even know he did and/or was there for. That's how good he is at just settling in and capturing the moment!! I really want to watch the full video so I can gush and marvel at all the other amazing ways he used the songs we sent him for our video. Plus, we get the raw footage too! That was really important to us. I cannot say enough kind things about Edward. It is impossible. He deserves the world. Thank you sooooooo much for being the exact videographer we needed. Thank you for being so calm and supportive during an especially hectic time. We were so lucky to find you. I'm considering having another wedding just to hire you again. hahahaha.

The I Do Photography is an award-winning team of wedding filmmakers and photographers, based across Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, New York, and beyond. Since 2012 we've filmed and photographed more than 1,600 weddings, from intimate ceremonies to large multi-day celebrations. If a photograph freezes a moment, a wedding film invites you back into it, and we make ours by blending documentary, editorial, and fine art styles into something real and raw that still looks spectacular. We value the little moments as much as the big ones. Film is our craft; we offer photography as well, together or on its own.

My wife and I had an amazing experience with The I Do Wedding Photography for our wedding photography and videography. From start to finish, their team was professional, organized, and a pleasure to work with. They captured every little detail of my wife’s and my special day perfectly. From the big moments to the small candid interactions with our family and friends, nothing was missed. Looking through our photos and watching our wedding video allows us to relive all of the emotions and memories from that day. They also captured absolutely stunning images of our venue, the Bel-Air Bay Club. The beauty of the venue, the ocean views, and all of the unique details of the property were showcased perfectly in both our photos and video. Their ability to highlight not only us as a couple but also the incredible atmosphere of our wedding day made the final product even more special. Their attention to detail, creativity, and ability to capture genuine moments truly set them apart. They made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process and ensured that every important memory was preserved beautifully. We are beyond grateful for the incredible work they did and would highly recommend The I Do Wedding Photography to any couple looking for a talented and professional photography and videography team. Thank you for giving us memories that we will cherish for a lifetime!

i grew up in europe and from the age of 10 used analogue film cameras. i eventually became a fashion/people photographer in milan, austria, new york city and LA. the nostalgia of polaroids inspired me to make weddings films in a more abstract and ephemeral way, like dreams. my films aim to provide a glimpse of what it felt like on your day, conveying an unmistakable essence about you and the experience.

Working with Michael from start to finish was absolutely lovely! He is a true artist. He genuinely got to know us and our story beforehand, and by the time we finally met - he felt like an old friend. From the moment they arrived, he and his assistant were ninjas, getting everything from drone shots (!?) to go-pro footage of the groomsmen in the pool. He never hesitated to throw out amazing ideas and things we could capture. Once we finally had the video - we were ecstatic. It blew our minds! It basically should go to Sundance. But really... wow, we wept looking at the most joyous day of our life be reflected to us in such a cinematic and intimate way. This was not your regular wedding video. It was spectacular! We had a chance to show some of our closest friends right away, and of course, everyone was in love with it, and the consensus was, "This is LITERALLY A FILM!" "This filmmaker is incredible," lots of tears, laughs, smiles etc etc :) We absolutely agree. I can't express enough how awesome Michael is; we LOVE his work! Thank you, thank you, thank you. We are so grateful to have had him as part of our day! To sum it up, he is an absolute pleasure to work with; he has an incredible eye and is professional, collaborative, and kind.
