  • Serves Santa Margarita, 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!

Wedding Weekender

  • Serves Santa Margarita, CA

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.

Where do I start with Wedding Weekender… if you’re looking for a camcorder for your wedding/event and to capture all the silly, raw, fun, beautiful moments, Wedding Weekender IS IT. My maid of honors surprised us with this gift and the WW team was so helpful from the beginning. Our friend knew exactly what to do with the camera, it was small and compact, and people even felt comfortable passing it around to get different POVs. We shipped it back and what we got 2 months later was beyond our wildest dreams. They made it everything we wanted: nostalgic, fun, loving, and such a perfect snapshot of our weekend. I even had 2 small edits after they delivered the video and they had it back to us right away. The team processing and editing these videos truly have a magic touch. This was priceless and we can’t wait to relive our wedding through this video forever and ever. Thank you for being a part of our special day!

Finisterre Visuals 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Santa Margarita, CA

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!

Bustle & Twine specializes in documentary wedding videography - telling the story of your day through all the beautiful details, unexpected surprises, and candid emotions as they unfold. We strive to capture every moment of your day while keeping a low profile.

The Bustle & Twine video team was fantastic - didn't even notice they were there / very much faded into the background but when the videos were delivered (multiple - a fun trailer, highlight video, ceremony video, first dances) you could tell they captured every beautiful moment and more. Their style is real and personal - not overly stylized or dramatic - just intimate and lovely. I cry every time I watch our wedding video!

Lost Generation partner team Emily and Dominic are just the absolute best! They were our wedding videographers and we are so happy they were referred by a friend who also raved about their work. They were very professional, responsive, punctual, very easy to communicate with, always responsive with emails and took their time over zoom calls in understanding what we wanted for our videos. We wanted a natural, documentary style video and Emily and Dominic delivered. They always had our best interest in mind; they never upsold us on anything and we were more than happy with the videos they created! Not only did they work great with us, but with the other wedding vendors. With a different photographer, they worked so well together and made everything work out so smoothly which resulted in amazing videos and photos. And they're a great value! We started with a package but added more after receiving the trailers and can see the high quality work they've put together. Hire Lost Generation as your next videographers, you won't regret it!

Awarded Best of Zola
We are not joking when we say that we hired Saja from Mawaddah productions at 8:30 am on our wedding day after realizing that we almost made one of the biggest mistakes by not having a videographer. And this was definitely the BEST decision we made. We were amazed that Saja not only managed to travel two hours from Boston to Alstead New Hampshire with a last minute notice for the job, but also exceeded our expectations by capturing all these priceless and unforgettable moments with little to no preparation other than a timeline flyer a few hours beforehand. The cinematography is insane: she films so beautifully and candidly, and her attention to details is unparalleled. Through her art and vision, she was able to translate this day which needless to say, went by overwhelmingly fast, into such a beautiful beautiful endless everlasting memory that we can now forever replay. We ABSOLUTELY ADOREDDDD the teaser, the short wedding film and the feature film. We shared it with our entire families and friends and they are completely in love. The short wedding film is on constant repeat. We could not thank her and recommend her enough for her incredible work and talent.

Hi I’m Anthony! I’ve had a camera in my hands since I was 14 - what started as a teenage curiosity quickly grew into a lifelong passion for storytelling. Over the years, I’ve taught myself everything I know about filmmaking, and after filming my first wedding five years ago, I knew I had found my purpose. There’s something truly special about capturing the emotion, laughter, and small, unspoken moments that make a wedding day unforgettable. It’s an honor every single time I get to help couples preserve that feeling forever

Anthony captured ALL of our favorite moments during our wedding. He was very attentive and even helped guide us during certain moments when taking photos. I have recommended him to many friends and they all love him and his work!!

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.

Hi friends! My name is Jonah Lorsung and I'm a filmmaker, writer, and photographer born in the Midwest. Most of my free time is spent enjoying concerts, cruising the coast in my Japanese van, or getting lost in a new hobby (right now that's "de-Googling" my life). I'm currently based in Portland, OR and available for travel anywhere my camera may take me, continuing my pursuit of stories that pique my interest. Mostly love, good light, and the small moments that make life worth living.

Awarded Best of Zola
I first saw Jonah’s work on instagram (he’s worked with my photographer and they make an amazing team!) and decided that if I did have a videographer, Jonah would be it. Jonah has an amazing eye for understated moments, and edits those moments together into a cinematic and emotionally charged film. Jonah was easy to communicate with, easy to plan with, and was a joy to have around on the day of our wedding. In addition to our long film and social media cut, Jonah also was able to give us our raw footage (we requested this, definitely ask if you want it but don’t expect it from a vendor!), which really highlighted to me how involved Jonah was throughout the day. Jonah’s work is the perfect combination of a fly on the wall and a friend on the dance floor. But my favorite part about Jonah’s work is that every film he makes is different and unique to that wedding. There is no stock image or typical layout, they’re all an individual reflection of that day. I could not recommend Jonah enough as a videographer. I’m so glad to have worked with him for our wedding, and to have supported a wonderful and talented person. The photos I’ve included are screenshots from our wedding film and may not reflect the quality of image, but do reflect the artistic quality of Jonah’s films!
