Gui Bittencourt Photography 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Palm Desert, CA

Hi! I’m Gui — a multicultural wedding photographer and videographer based in Los Angeles, CA. My passion for photography began in childhood, playing with my grandmother’s old film camera in Brazil. For over seven years, I’ve been documenting and celebrating love stories across Southern California. My style is natural, colorful, vibrant, and candid. I believe every couple deserves to feel seen and celebrated, no matter their background or style of wedding. My approach is calm, creative, and personal — focused on capturing real emotions, spontaneous laughter, and the quiet in-between moments that make your day unforgettable.

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!

Enchanted Captures

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Palm Desert, CA

Wedding videography is my side hustle. I love capturing peoples days and making them a product that they will have for years to come. I work in the entertainment industry full time and freelance video edit on the side. I also do photography as well. I do photography, videography and content creation.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

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!

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!

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.
