Awarded Best of Zola
She did an amazing job capturing our day. What we wanted was a video that showed exactly what it was like to be at our wedding, and we felt that the video we received did exactly that. Her edits tied in speeches with some of the fun happening at the wedding seamlessly. She even included footage that corresponded to what was being said in the audio. We felt our video came out very special and it is something we will cherish forever.

As a couple who was 7 months pregnant with our first child at the time, the Toast Weddings team went above and beyond to cater to our unique situation and make sure our memories were beautifully preserved.

My documentary filmmaking journey has taken me around the country and to Central America. I have a Master's in Visual Anthropology from USC and am professionally trained to adapt to any and every situation I encounter. I am technically skilled, artistically inclined, and most of all, possessed of a remarkable empathy that enables me to capture the human essence of every couple I encounter.

Steve was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, Steve demonstrated a professional, anticipatory, and thoughtful communication style that put us at ease. His work exhibited the poise of a seasoned veteran - seemingly everywhere, but unobtrusive; gentle yet confident. He understands the complex choreography of a wedding, and navigates it with poise and artistry. We cannot recommend Steve enough.

  • Serves Dana Point, CA

I'm a Brazilian photographer and filmmaker based in Los Angeles, specializing in multicultural weddings since 2018. I've photographed couples from over 40 countries, blending traditions from Mexico to Morocco, India to Ireland, Japan to Brazil. My style is vibrant, natural, and true to life—focused on authentic emotion and joyful moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
Discovery & Initial Communication I learned about Gui’s services through word of mouth. A friend highly recommended him after hiring him for her son’s birthday party. Based on her glowing review, I decided to hire him for my very intimate civil ceremony. My main goal was to have the event beautifully documented so we could share the final video with family and close friends. From the very start, communication with Gui was seamless. He was responsive, efficient, and incredibly patient when addressing my detailed inquiries. One aspect I truly appreciated was his initiative to schedule a pre-event video call. This gave him the opportunity to get to know us, understand our personalities, and discuss our expectations for the shoot. His willingness to listen and incorporate our ideas made the entire process feel collaborative and personal. Planning & Preparation One of the reasons I chose Gui was his ability to include a highlight reel in the video package—something I really wanted. During our meeting, he welcomed my ideas and suggestions for the final video, showing a genuine interest in delivering a product that reflected our vision. Gui’s level of preparation was impressive. He took the time to scout the courthouse and a nearby park beforehand, ensuring we had the best possible locations for our shoot. His preparedness and attention to detail gave me peace of mind leading up to the event. The Day of the Ceremony On the day of our civil ceremony, everything went smoothly. Gui greeted us warmly at the courthouse, immediately setting a positive and reassuring tone. His calm and easygoing demeanor helped ease my nerves—something I truly appreciated amidst the mix of adrenaline and excitement of the day. He captured moments effortlessly, allowing us to be present and enjoy our special day without feeling overly directed or staged. Final Thoughts & Recommendation Overall, I couldn’t be happier with Gui’s work. His professionalism, creativity, and dedication to capturing our special day exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for a videographer who is not only talented but also personable and well-prepared, I highly recommend Gui. 10/10 – Would definitely hire him again!

Awarded Best of Zola
Still Do was so helpful and professional from the very first meeting. We booked for just videography services. Last week, our videographer was unexpectedly not available, but Still Do Media handled this situation very carefully and calmly, and they had a standby videographer in the backup team. Matt, our backup videographer, is amazing! He stepped in a few days before the wedding with professionalism and positive energy. He captured every detail in perfect style. I just had a little bad experience with how they deliver raw footage unprofessionally. Folders and clips are messed up and disorganized. But our experience with Still Do Media is incredible. We are always thankful for making our wedding such a memorable and joyful experience!

Wedding Weekender is redefining wedding video with a more authentic, accessible way to capture your celebration. We send camcorders for your friends and family to film candid moments across your wedding weekend — from getting ready to the dance floor and everything in between. Afterward, our editing team shapes that footage into a thoughtful, nostalgic wedding video that feels true to your celebrations. We believe meaningful wedding video should feel personal, accessible, and rooted in real moments.

Simply OBSESSED. I worked with the Wedding Weekender for my bachelorette and wedding and both times was SO happy with the result. The team is prompt and communicative, answering our questions before and quick to provide our footage afterward. It was such a bonus to get all the raw footage in addition to the final video - my husband and I watched clips every night on our honeymoon, the best way to reminisce!! I loved having content that was from the POV of my guests, it makes you feel like you’re right back in the middle of things. Lastly, this was such a cost effective solution when you already have so many other things to worry about. Video was the first thing we cut from our budget, but with this we were able to have it all. I couldn’t recommend them more!!!

Intimate and unique films tailored to you. Every wedding is different, just like every couple. What they all share in common is our love for getting together. Our need to share and connect is as human as it gets. As life takes us in different directions, getting together can become a challenge. So when our family and friends make the time to get together, we want to make sure to remember it and capture those moments. That’s where we come in. We want to capture the big and little moments of your celebration, because these moments are worth preserving ♡

Nadia captured our wedding day with the exact energy I was looking for! She took the important details that I was interested in (candid family-oriented shots) and blended them into a 10 min TREASURE that I will never stop watching. Her smile is contagious and her communication following our wedding was impeccable. So grateful for this forever memory of our day!

We’re James and Austin, and we’re absolutely obsessed with telling love stories. But not just any love stories, yours. For us, wedding filmmaking isn’t just about capturing the big moments (though we love those too!). It’s about the small, quiet in-betweens, the nervous excitement before you walk down the aisle, the way your partner looks at you when they think no one’s watching, the laughter shared with loved ones. We pour our hearts into every wedding film, blending documentary-style storytelling with a cinematic touch to create something that feels real, raw, and timeless.

James and his team at Next Chapter Film were absolutely incredible. Our wedding video turned out even better than we imagined! James perfectly captured the magic and emotion of our special day. The flow, attention to detail, and production quality were flawless. From the planning process, to the actual day, and even the post-production, working with James was effortless. He was so accommodating with edits and truly brought our vision to life (even though the initial cut was already perfect!). On the day of the wedding, you could tell James really knows what he’s doing. He guided us with ease, making sure every moment was captured beautifully. We were able to relax and just be in the moment, knowing he had everything under control. I highly recommend using Next Chapter Film for your wedding. The memories preserved in the video are priceless, thanks to James and his incredible work!
