  • Serves Santa Monica, CA

We're Jake & Christina, A fun-loving husband and wife Photography team based in San Diego, California. Our passion for all things adventure, teamwork and love has brought our partnership through photography to a level unsurpassed. When two people who love each other also work together, the results have an extra dimension not often found in regular business partnerships. This is why we decided to expand our team and make it even more powerful with another married couple covering all things Videography! No matter what your vision, our team will make it happen and capture all the special moments you'll look back on and cherish forever!

Gleimlight was wonderful to work with! We did the raw footage package and there was a quick turn around. I’m not sure if i would recommend this package because I was planning to take videos I got from them and make my own video for keepsake but when receiving the video it is just one long 2.5 hour video with sound from everyone near the video camera and I’m not able to take parts of the video and cut what I want. Overall a great company and can’t complain with the price! I will forever cherish having video of our wedding.

Tideus Media Wedding Videographers

  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Santa Monica, CA

After 4+ years of shooting for other wedding businesses, working on commercial sets, taking courses on Color Grading theories, and stocking up on camera equipment, I decided it was time I took my skills to create unique, personalized, and inspiring wedding videos. We spend the time getting to know you, your story, your friends, and your family to build and create a unique story with your voices and vision at the forefront of ALL DECISIONS. We create films so that someday when you decide to rewatch, you'll feel connected to the moment again and hear and connect with the people that matter most to you.

Tideus Media goes ABOVE & BEYOND. If you're looking for a videographer - just stop here & hire Jose (you'll thank me later)! Myself & my husband have worked with quite a few videographers & photographers & no one is like Jose. He has made videos for our business, done photoshoots & did our wedding video in October 2023. He never ceases to amaze us! Our wedding video is something that we didn't even know what possible. The time & effort he put into it just shows his talent & passion for truly bringing something new, different & heartfelt for his clients. I've always just seen wedding videos that were of the couple getting ready & some "day of" footage (to be honest, I've always thought those were boring). Jose's wedding videos aren't the "typical" (they definitely aren't boring). They are STORIES told by your family & friends to create an authentic depiction of your relationship. Jose & his team interviewed our family & friends, got multiple days of footage of myself & husband, even FLEW OUT (without us knowing) to our home state (Ohio) to get footage/interviews of family members that couldn't attend our wedding. Not to mention the full wedding day & after party! He planted "easter eggs" all throughout our video of things that we're important to us. It's hard to put into words how amazing his work is because it is THAT GOOD. The value you get from his videos are WAY BEYOND the amount you will pay. He's not just a videographer - he's a true PRODUCTION COMPANY. Long story short - if you're looking for a videographer - STOP LOOKING. THIS. IS. YOUR. GUY!!!

We’re Savannah and Mason Summers – a husband and wife videography team who have been married for almost 10 years, and working together even longer. In short – we love telling love stories. We believe that your wedding goes far beyond a celebration, it’s the foundation for your future as a husband and wife – and that’s the narrative we’re honored to tell through our work.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am writing this review wayyyy too late (a little over 2 years after my wedding) and it has been eating me away inside because I need to give Mason(aka Anchor Pictures) all the praise they deserve. As a wedding planner myself, I had worked with Mason and Savannah previously and found them to be so sweet and easy to work with as well as extremely professional. I knew that when I got married they would be at the top of my list for videography and I was so glad they were available! My husband still talks about how absolutely sweet and helpful Mason was on the day of our wedding, assisting him in getting his bow tie on when no one else knew how. He worked perfectly with our photographer team and even when we ran slightly behind schedule due to hair and makeup, he was on it with getting all the shots needed quickly so we could get back on track. The videos themselves I could watch on repeat constantly, every day, for the rest of my life. I still cry watching the full video and cannot stop smiling when I watch the teaser and full 8 minute cut. The drone shots, the details, all cut together seamlessly with our music and clips of the ceremony and speeches. Mason’s work is beautiful, the camerawork and shots are breathtaking and made my humble backyard wedding look like a high budget royal wedding video. I love it sooooo much and am forever grateful that we will one day be able to watch this video with our children as well as show other family members who were not able to make it that day. Thank you SO much Anchor Pictures, I cannot recommend them enough!

If you’re reading this review, you’re likely considering Steven and Wild Light Films as part of your big day. DO IT!! We were originally drawn to his unique style of work, music-video like approach, and storytelling ability in capturing the essence of people’s wedding days. Working with Steven was incredible and we can’t say enough about how much we loved his work. We booked him back in 2019 for our 2020 wedding, but of course with COVID we had to push it back a year. He was super flexible and accommodating, and we still figured out a plan to have video footage of an intimate ceremony in 2020, as well as the original plan for 2021. He did such an amazing job incorporating the two ceremonies together into one seamless video, which he turned around even quicker than we expected! Steven is a delight to work with—truly a genuinely kind person. His video editing craftsmanship and storytelling are compelling—rewatching our video + highlights felt like taking us right back to the memories and joy of our day. Do yourself and your future self a favor and get Steven to make your wedding video that you’ll cherish for years to come.

When I was a kid, I would build Lego cars, set my VHS recorder at the bottom of the stairs, then record them crashing down the stairs in slow motion 🤣 I had no idea that one day my career would revolve around cameras! In 2015 I bought a camera from a pawn shop. Rediscovering the fascination of capturing moments through a lens, I swiftly pivoted my career focus toward photography and videography. Now, after eight years, I've captured weddings, music videos, and a diverse array of corporate and social media content across the United States. It's been a journey of learning the art of storytelling through still images and video.

Kyle is so easy to work with! Does absolutely beautiful work to capture your special moments on your wedding day.

Hi I'm Andrew! I first started filming weddings when my sister got married in 2017. I quickly fell in love with the entire process and getting to know all the couples and their guests. Maybe I'm just a hopeless romantic haha (My guilty pleasure is Hallmark movies, once I walk in the room with it on I have to see how it ends!).

Awarded Best of Zola
We had Magical Multimedia be our videographer for our wedding and my husband and I could not be more impressed! Andrew and his second shooter were very nice and helped make suggestions to create great clips for the film. They captured the key parts of our special day and seamlessly wove it together to create a video that showed the highlights as well as the entirety of our ceremony, first dance, and toasts. Andrew went above and beyond by surprising us with a tablet that was placed in a cover that had our wedding photo on it. Now we can reminisce on our special day any time we want. If you're looking for a videographer, then look no further because this guy is the best!

- I love running, dogs, donuts, yoga pants, Parks + Rec, Sherlock Holmes and a ton of other random stuff. - I am originally from San Diego, CA so adjusting to Chicago winters has been ROUGH. - My husband and I love to travel and find new adventures together, but also really enjoy a night in having absolutely no plans. I personally have always been in love with stories. Reading them, listening to them and finally telling them. There is something so incredible about how good stories can draw out deep emotion. THAT is what I love.

Anchored Films came recommended to us from a close friend and we could not brag about Katie & the team enough. From our very first conversation, Katie was an absolute dream to work with and exceeded every expectation we had on the delivery. Since we had a Catholic & Hindu wedding, we had a lot of details to work through and when I tell you I never doubted Katie, I NEVER. DOUBTED. KATIE. The Anchored team truly makes you feel like you're the only couple they're working with and if you stalk their social like I did, you know they're keeping busy over there! I had a very specific vision on how I wanted to remember our wedding days and now I wish I could hire Katie to capture every moment of our lives. From the bottom of our hearts, we're so grateful to have worked with you and know you'll make future couples just as obsessed with your work!

Then I work to capture those important moments and include them in your film. Operating generally in Orange and Los Angeles County, but I can travel for your wedding as needed.

  • Vintage style

  • Serves Santa Monica, CA

I create short films from your old home movies and favorite photographs. Process: First, we'll chat and you tell me everything you'd like to share about you or your loved ones featured in the footage. I'll walk you through selecting the photos/videos to best tell your story. You gather all the footage (feel free to outsource to family + friends!) and send to me. And that's it! I take it from there and get to work creating a short film that reflects you + your unique story.

I hired Katherine to make a short childhood-to-the-present video for my wife’s milestone birthday. Based on what I’ve seen of Katherine’s work, I knew it would be high quality and creative, but my expectations were slightly muted because what I gave her to work with was almost all old still photographs with very few videos. I was blown away by what Katherine created! When my wife watched the nine minute film (along with family and friends) she burst into tears of joy and surprise. She absolutely loved it. It’s a beautiful tribute with real narrative and emotional power, skillfully enhanced with music. If you’re looking for the visual equivalent of a lounge pianist — a film loop to play in the background while people socialize — you’d be well served by a more generic slideshow. What Katherine made for us is a one of a kind treasure that generates memories, conversation and emotion. Needless to say, we’re delighted.

I am truly so thankful for Jesse and his team. His talent in catching and documenting special moments on your wedding day is beyond what you can anticipate. The art of taking those special moments and forming a video with music and voice recordings from the ceremony and speeches is not something just anyone can do. I have to say, our wedding videos are BEYOND. The more we watch them, the more thankful we are to have hired Jesse and his team. Besides the fact that Jesse was so wonderful to work with from our first phone call to the day of our wedding, he is so kind and has amazing attention to detail. He caught everything on our video "wishlist" and gave us some of the best tips before the wedding. He asked for our vows, speeches, and ceremony script ahead of time and then incorporated video shots with special words as they are played. All around, incredible!

Edward Lau Film 

5.0

  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Santa Monica, CA

Edward Lau was born in Hong Kong. Having always been fascinated by filmmaking, Edward went on to earn a bachelor's degree in Cinema from San Francisco State University. After graduation, Edward freelanced at local television stations, then went back to Hong Kong and worked in both the TV and film industries. His positions included production assistant, assistant editor, assistant location manager, and script supervisor

Edward went above and beyond for my husband and I. We contacted Edward the week of our wedding because our original videographer turned out to be a scam. My message was panicked and probably all over the place but he hopped onto our crazy ride, promised a great price and was ready to go. THEN, my husband and I learned we had COVID and had to postpone the wedding for two weeks. This didn't phase Edward. He was going to be there, the price was the same, and he was so kind and communicative. Day of the wedding he shows up and gets to work. He is incredibly kind, he worked amazingly with our other vendors, especially the photographer and and wedding planner. He really just knows how to step back and capture what is happening. He also knows exactly when to step in and get the particular shot he wants. He even stayed a little while longer without charging us. He was seriously such a delight leading up to the wedding and the day of the wedding. I just got the wedding video and I had to make sure I came here to sing his praises because the video IS AMAZING. So far I have only watched the sneak peek because my husband wants to wait to watch the video with his family, which, fine, but I want to watch it all now! Edward took one of my favorite songs and used it exactly as I dreamed in the preview. There is so much that went into that preview that I didn't even know he did and/or was there for. That's how good he is at just settling in and capturing the moment!! I really want to watch the full video so I can gush and marvel at all the other amazing ways he used the songs we sent him for our video. Plus, we get the raw footage too! That was really important to us. I cannot say enough kind things about Edward. It is impossible. He deserves the world. Thank you sooooooo much for being the exact videographer we needed. Thank you for being so calm and supportive during an especially hectic time. We were so lucky to find you. I'm considering having another wedding just to hire you again. hahahaha.

  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Santa Monica, CA

Inspired by world-renowned wedding videographers White In Revery, Declan became a full-time wedding videographer in 2017. With the ambition of moving couples with cinematic, emotive, and story-driven films, he visited Colorado to be mentored by White In Revery. Becoming a dual citizen enabled Declan to film hundreds of weddings across the United States and expand the business.

I highly highly recommend Declan! During these crazy times Declan has been so flexible and so easy to work with! He was able to talk things through with me until we both had a clear idea on how the day would go and how the video would turn out. He is so easy to communicate with and creates an amazing quality video that you will love for years to come!

Bruce captured everything and you never even knew he was there, worked well with the photographer and is nothing but professional. Bonus, the prices are incredible reasonable.

  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Santa Monica, CA

My parents told me growing up, "ever since you were able to talk you told stories." Storytelling is my passion ever since a young age, which has allowed my film career to flourish, introducing a new found happiness of wedding videography. It is something about capturing someones happiest, most unforgettable moment that brings me such happiness and joy. I find joy in creating the happy ever after for others, so allow me to tell your love story.

Busybee (Brandon) was phenomenal. Showed up on time, fully prepared and ready to roll. I did not have to coach him at all I felt very comfortable trusting him with important shots. His expertise and skillset allowed the team to cover much more with higher quality. Very honored to have worked with Busybee looking forward to working with him at any given time

Vanilla Film

  • Cinematic style
  • Serves Santa Monica, CA

Vanilla Film is a professional wedding videography service serving the LA area. Lev and Nina, the owners of the company, are deeply passionate about capturing each couple’s raw emotions during one of their most significant milestones. They will strive to document their clients’ love stories with authenticity, leaving them with beautiful memories to cherish. Vanilla Film will secure every couple’s comfort from the very beginning, putting them completely at ease.

These videographers are outstanding! Words can't describe how much Lev and Nina made our wedding everything I wanted and more. Planning a wedding during covid has been very challenging and my venues and vendors have been cancelling left and right. I changed my wedding plans to 3 completely different location in Washington because of covid. Every time I had a hardship with the wedding and a change of plans, Nina and Lev have been the easiest and most understanding and compassionate individuals that helped me navigate the next steps because I did not want to post pone. They never once made me feel stressed with having things constantly change. Nina and Lev also put %150 into this project! I also would recommend adding the pre video because it gave me a chance to get to know Nina and Lev and become friends prior to the wedding so that I felt like they were good friends surrounded by us on our important day! Not just videographers!! There is a huge difference in their quality of video compared to any other I researched !

Draped in White 

5.0

  • Cinematic style
  • Serves Santa Monica, CA

Our Draped in White family is committed to connecting with you on a very personal level. Our goal is to create a perfectly crafted wedding film that shows your love story in an artistic way. Many couples feel disconnected from the wedding film process so we allow you to choose the different aspects of your wedding film; everything from music and color schemes all the way to filming styles and editing theme.

Draped in White is THE best video brand we have ever worked with. From a photographer's and past bride's perspective, I just can't recommend them enough. They are extremely professional, yet personable. And to say they are incredibly talented does not even begin to describe the quality of work they provide. They are by far the best in the market in my opinion.
