Cook Captures 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Encinitas, CA

Hi there, I’m Caleb — but most people call me Cook. I’ve been behind the camera for over a decade, capturing weddings, events, and stories that matter. After spending nearly 13 years filming in the Southeast, I moved to California in 2012 to pursue a different path. But a few years ago I found myself drawn back to what I truly love: telling stories through film. That’s how Cook Captures was born.

Awarded Best of Zola
Caleb was incredible! He has such a great personality and instantly made us feel comfortable. He blended in so naturally that most of the time we didn’t even notice he was there, yet he captured everything perfectly. He truly felt like a comfort to us throughout the day. When little things came up, we even found ourselves turning to him for advice, it was like having an older brother by our side. We are so thankful we chose him and would highly recommend him to anyone!

  • Serves Encinitas, CA

If you’re looking for a San Diego wedding videographer, we offer a reliable and affordable service that’s available for weddings and other types of events. When Charlie (the owner) realized that the average cost of hiring a professional wedding videographer in San Diego is so high, he simply couldn't believe it. He set a goal to create a videography service that would be much less expensive yet good enough for most people. That's how our company came into existence. For video samples and booking details, please visit our website.

I was not able to find any affordable videographer in San Diego who could deliver more than just a short highlight video. This team was responsive, professional, easy to work with and delivered gorgeous full-length edited ceremony and reception movies. It's exactly what we wanted and the edits turned out even better than we imagined. Highly recommended for anyone needing a pro wedding videographer!

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!

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!

When we were initially planning our wedding I didn’t think getting a videographer was necessary. However, my now husband convinced we needed one. And as much it pains me to admit he was right about anything I’m so glad we got a videographer and not just any videographer but Kristiann. I really didn’t know what to expect but I can say that without equivocation she exceeded all expectations. She was communicative and always responded to questions immediately. When our first wedding had to be canceled 3 days before our original wedding date Kristiann was so kind and accommodating. When it came to our day finally arriving she was there early, professional and so friendly. She made us all feel comfortable and was not intrusive at all. After getting back our video not only was it beautifully made but it was so wonderful to see the moments she captured and the things we missed. Not only that but so many of our guests commented on how nice and wonderful she was. Without a doubt I would rebook and recommend Kristiann in a heartbeat.

When my fiancé and I were searching for wedding vendors, Hereafter Films stuck out to us. I immediately looked at their Instagram feed and their website and I was in awe of the quality of their work. You can clearly see how much love they pour into their brand and every video I watched made me feel all sorts of emotions. We met up with Sharayah and Ryan (pre-pandemic) to get to know them and we were so impressed with how in sync they are. They genuinely want to know your vibe, your relationship, and what you want captured on your wedding day. We wanted our video to feel genuine and intentional, not posed and stiff. It wasn't until I saw our wedding video that I extremely appreciated the time they took listening to our needs because they checked every. single. box. They captured every raw emotion we felt and so many small details we didn't see day of because everything moved so fast. Sharayah and Ryan were so easy to work with day of, they made sure we felt relaxed and unposed! They were everywhere but simultaneously they weren't in the way. We were so impressed with how well they worked with our photographers as well, they made an amazing team! We'll cherish our highlight and heirloom videos for years to come. We'll be watching them over and over again reliving the best day of our lives.

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.

Alanna could not have captured me and my husband’s elopement day more authentically. And truthfully, that was the most important part of the day I got married- it reflecting me and my partner accurately! Alanna woke up at 3am and met up with us to start our special day hiking to an alpine lake in WA. I know that’s not atypical for an elopement photographer; however, it’s hard to find someone more down to earth, calm and relaxed and with the ability to make you feel so safe. That’s Alanna. She has a unique and beautiful gift. My husband and I could not be grateful to have met and worked with Alanna. Our final photos and video (which I’ve watched a near 150 times…no, I mean it) were breathtaking. Could not recommend this woman enough!
