Bustle & Twine Videography

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $4,490
  • Serves Sonoma, CA

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! Not to mention the entire Bustle & Twine team is just a joy to work with - friendly, personable, goes above and beyond. Love.

We've been honored to create wedding films for hundreds of incredible couples. Each one of their stories is distinctive and we pride ourselves on creating moving films that artistically convey those love stories. We believe your wedding is not just about one day. It’s about your story leading up to that day and the stories that will come after. Our wedding videos bring your day to life – allowing the two of you to relive every laugh, every tear, and every moment that went by in a flash. Your loved ones will thank you for allowing your celebration to serve as a legacy of family history for generations to come.

Toast Weddings was the perfect choice for our wedding videography needs. From the very beginning, their team was responsive, compassionate, and highly professional in their communication. The quality of their work was excellent - they captured all the special, custom moments of our wedding day in Waialua, Hawaii with a keen eye for detail. As a couple who was 7 months pregnant with our first child at the time, the Toast Weddings team went above and beyond to cater to our unique situation and make sure our memories were beautifully preserved. Our videographer, Jason, had a truly creative vision that shone through in the final highlight video we received just 3 months after our wedding. We are beyond happy with our experience and the forever memories Toast Weddings has given us of our special day.

Gui Bittencourt Photography

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Sonoma, 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!

At Still Do Media, we believe your wedding deserves to be remembered beautifully. Choosing the right wedding photographer and videographer is one of the most important decisions you'll make, and we're here to make it easy.

Awarded Best of Zola
Still Do was so helpful and professional from the very first meeting. We booked for just videography services. Last week, our videographer was unexpectedly not available, but Still Do Media handled this situation very carefully and calmly, and they had a standby videographer in the backup team. Matt, our backup videographer, is amazing! He stepped in a few days before the wedding with professionalism and positive energy. He captured every detail in perfect style. I just had a little bad experience with how they deliver raw footage unprofessionally. Folders and clips are messed up and disorganized. But our experience with Still Do Media is incredible. We are always thankful for making our wedding such a memorable and joyful experience!

Awarded Best of Zola
We absolutely LOVED working with Emily and Dominic! My husband and I were so on the fence about having videography for our wedding in September, but I can now say that it was one of the best decisions we made, in large part because of Emily and Dominic. From our first call with them we instantly built a connection. It was so easy to see that they genuinely care about the couples they work with, and really invest time in understanding how you want your wedding to be captured and what is important to you. We felt so heard by them and after seeing our videos, we were thrilled with them. We loved how personal our relationship felt, and really felt like that connection led to amazing videos. It was comfortable to work with them on our wedding day, and they worked seamlessly with our photographers, despite never working with them before. They gave direction when needed, and so many of those shots turned out so cool! And the finished products speak for themselves. It was so fun to relive our wedding through our videos and we felt like they truly captured the essence of our day. And we even got some bonus edited footage! We weren’t expecting it, but absolutely loved the touching extras they sent us. If you’re on the fence about having videography, you should do it! And absolutely work with Emily and Dominic, they are fantastic and will go above and beyond to capture your special day.

Finisterre Visuals 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Sonoma, 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.

Finisterre Visuals was fantastic to work with for our wedding video. Ryan, the videographer, easily described the scenes and shooting locations he wanted to capture, which made the process feel smooth and organized. He worked tirelessly to capture every special moment of our wedding day, with no issues. Ryan presighted the venue ahead of time and came in with a plan, which made the preparations much less stressful. As the sole videographer on site in a public space, he was able to seamlessly capture the sound and footage. Ryan was fully committed to our goal of creating an authentic, high-quality video that would let us relive our wedding day for years to come. The setup and scene prep felt effortless and not at all awkward. We couldn't be happier with the final product and highly recommend Finisterre Visuals.

My films are custom made cinematic experiences, reminiscent of 90's and early 2000's era romantic movies with soul. Similar to features like Brown Sugar, Love Jones, and Love and Basketball, my style is tailored to capturing genuineness and encompassing real people experiencing their most beautiful moments. 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!

Dream Space Weddings was amazing! I couldn't imagine my proposal without all their help. They were there to help in every magical moment, from the moment they landed in LA they helped me every step of the process (even hiding in the sailboat's tight cabin for half an hour until I finally proposed at sunset). My now fianceé was so enthusiastic with the quality of both the photos and the videos. As we are both in the film industry, these captured moments are very important to us and it was wonderful to be able to trust such a professional and see such results! We recommend Dream Space Weddings to everyone (though they do book up quickly for obvious reasons).

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.

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!!
