My passion for photography and videography all started in a darkroom I built in a closet under the stairs as a high school student. I loved the idea of composing an image within the frame and then watching the photograph materialize like magic before my eyes in the wash of chemicals. When I was 18, my dad bought our family’s first video camera. I was immediately fascinated with the new possibility of capturing moving images, and what I could further create with this tool. Intrigued by all the ways I could retell a story with not only still frames, but though an array of motions and sounds woven together. BMP has captured memories since 2003.

At the heart of my business lies a deep-seated passion for storytelling. I believe that every couple has a unique and compelling narrative waiting to be told, and it's my privilege to bring that story to life on screen.

We highly recommend Louie and his incredible team for any couple looking for an exceptional videographer to entrust with their special day.  Leading up to the wedding we talked in detail about how we wanted to capture every moment from the pre-ceremony ritual and first look all the way through the reception and speeches.  This thorough preparation ensured that we were comfortable, knew what to expect, and could relax amid the intensity of the day’s events.  We were delighted to watch the final cut of videos that were well organized, perfectly edited, and faithful to the shared vision we had discussed.  Louie’s thoughtful storytelling approach ensures a very natural and immersive experience that allows our dear guests to remember the special day while enabling family and friends who were unable to attend to feel as though they were there.  From the expansive overview shots that helped showcase the magnificence of the venue and blessed weather we had to the memorable scene stealing moments from the ceremony that made us laugh, Louie’s smooth and well-edited highlight films perfectly captured the day.  The detailed perspective shots of speakers giving their toasts during the reception that he interspersed with well-timed reactions from our wedding party and guests further added to the poignancy of these treasured moments.  Overall, they exceeded our expectations and rewatching his phenomenal videography will help us to fondly relive this beautiful day forever.

Finisterre Visuals

So what does finisterre mean? Finisterre is Latin. If you know some Spanish, you’ll recognize two words squeezed into one: “fin” and “tierra,” essentially meaning the world’s end. Don’t worry, not in an apocalyptic sense of the word — it’s actually a place. It’s where the Romans once stood in modern-day Spain. They looked across the vast Atlantic Ocean, and thought to themselves “is this the end of the road?” Finisterre is an ode to that majestic feeling of unknown. Getting married is one of those unique experiences.

My husband and I cannot speak highly enough of our experience with Ryan and Hazen as our wedding videographers! Ryan and Hazen brought an incredible blend of professionalism and warmth to our special day. Their kindness and genuine interest in our love story made us feel like we were working with a friend rather than just a vendor. The final video exceeded our wildest dreams and brought tears of joy to our eyes. It’s a priceless keepsake that we will treasure for a lifetime, thanks to Ryan and Hazen’s incredible work. If you’re looking for a wedding videographer who is not only skilled but also kind, amazing, and fun to work with, look no further than Ryan and Hazen. They are truly a gem in the industry! Thank you for giving us the gift of memories that we will cherish forever!

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!

With this in mind, I make sure to apply cinema level techniques to make your most precious event seem like an independent film or documentary.

We had the pleasure of working with Veno, and the experience was amazing. From start to finish, everything about the process was fantastic and I couldn’t be happier with the sneak peeks he has provided. His work was breathtaking and glad we had him film our most important day! From day one, Veno was so passionate and dedicated to create something truly special for Julio and I, and you can see his love for what he does through his work. I can’t wait to see our final wedding video!

I found Saja through a tagged video of my wedding venue (The Glen Manor House) midway through planning, and was immediately sold! Her artistry, talent and the opulence mirrored my vision so much that I ended up firing my previously booked videographer! So if you’re reading this, and you already booked a videographer; you may need to reconsider because every bride needs a Saja on her wedding day! She is personable, professional and extremely considerate! The produced work is phenomenal and is a keepsake that will transcend family generations!! You regret hiring Mawaddah Productions for your big day!

Fast forward we found out he also did videography and we booked him for both- and we are so glad we did! He was so amazing, along with our photographer, they worked together so well and made sure we stayed on schedule and got all the moments captured we wanted. We almost didn’t go with videography but I’m so glad we decided to! He did such an amazing job with both the video and DJ. If we could do the day again, we would 100% have him again! He is so great to work with and so professional, I would recommend him to everyone! Thank you so much Conner for capturing the best day of our lives, the video was even better than we ever imagined.

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!

HEYYY! *waves hands* We are Leandra & Clinton Cunanan, owners and lead videographers of Food & Cake Wedding Films. We are huge advocates for doing exactly what you want on your wedding day. We had the most epic wedding of all time (ask us about it!), but we didn't hire a videographer. And now this why we do what we do. It's the best feeling knowing each one of our couples will be able to relive their wedding day for the rest of their lives. We didn't have that, and now we get to give that to you!

I am so blown away by not only the quality of Clint and Leandra's work as videographers, but also what wonderful people they are! Not even halfway through our first zoom with them to talk about what packages they offer and our vision for the day I knew they were the perfect fit for us! Being with them on the wedding day felt like hanging out with old friends, they were amazing at blending in to the crowd to capture candid moments while also giving us prompts that created some of our favorite memories of the day. They worked so well with our other vendors and I don't think our day would have been complete without them. They are masters at what they do, and also the perfect people to have during a busy and, at times, stressful day (Leandra was able to bussle my dress when no one else could get the loop on the buttons AND snagged me some appetizers when I was resting my feet after the receiving line, she was a lifesaver!) My husband and I both teared up watching our trailer and highlight reel, and then happy cried getting to see our whole ceremony, private vows, speeches, and first dances. I know this is footage we’ll be so happy to look back on in the years to come, not just of my husband and I but of our whole families as well! I'm so happy we found Food Cake, you will not regret hiring this fantastic couple!
