About Ebullient Memories Films

Ebullient Memories Films

California's Authentic & Candid Wedding Videography

You’ve poured your heart into this day, and I want to make sure you remember exactly how it felt! I’m Hector David, the filmmaker behind Ebullient Memories. Since 2016, I’ve captured over 400 weddings with one goal: to tell your story as true and authentic as the day it happend. From quiet, intimate exchanges to the wild dance floor; I focus on those in-between moments that matter most to you. Based in San Diego, I film across Southern AND Northern California and specialize in creating candid films that feel real, emotional, and true to you.

I’m not just here to document your wedding - I’m here to capture how it felt. The real emotions, the little moments, and the in-between glances that make your day truly yours. My approach is candid, relaxed, and heartfelt, so you can be present while I quietly capture the magic as it unfolds. I offer several coverage packages, to make things a little easier; because getting a timeless wedding film shouldn’t feel out of reach. :)

    Do not use

    Was extremely kind and accommodating leading up the to wedding, however after the wedding completely ceased communication with me and never delivered the final product. I’m not the type to leave negative reviews, especially for small businesses. Again, I actually really enjoyed working with this company prior. But at this point I just want the product, a refund, or communication of when to expect it and I’m not sure what else to do.

    I could watch my videos all day everyday!

    From the moment we booked Ebullient Memories Films, they were always there to answer any questions we had and make sure we felt prepared for our big day. On the wedding day, their team was professional and discreet, capturing all the special moments without being intrusive. The final video was beautifully edited, really capturing the sentiment and emotion of our wedding day. We had a mishap with our bridal procession song, but they seamlessly edited it out without us even needing to ask. The end result had the perfect home-movie/documentary feel that I was hoping for, without feeling overly cinematic. I'm so happy with how the video turned out and would highly recommend Ebullient Memories Films to any couple looking for talented, responsive videographers who will beautifully preserve your wedding day memories.

    Amazing work!

    Hector was our wedding videographer last year and working with him was one of the best decisions we made! He was friendly, communicative, professional, open minded, and very budget friendly. On the day of the wedding, you hardly notice he’s there, but was still able to capture the essential moments. The final product exceeded our expectations and everything flowed together seamlessly. Every little thing— the angles, details, candid moments, music, etc., was intentional and beautifully curated. If your wedding is during the busy season, expect a bit of a longer turnaround time, but it’s worth the wait. Trust these other reviews and go with him!

    Amazing!!

    We were so pleased with the services provided by Ebullient Memories Films for our wedding videography. From our initial conversations, their communication style was clear, uplifting, and genuinely kind. They took the time to walk us through their process and stayed by our side even through some difficult circumstances leading up to the big day. The quality of their work was truly impressive - smooth, meticulous, and capturing all the special moments we've been planning for over a year. This team was amazing and we would hire them again in a heartbeat. We can't thank Ebullient Memories Films enough for the incredible job they did in preserving our wedding day memories. Thank you so very much!

    Incredible value! Cannot recommend enough

    As soon as we looked into Ebullient Memories Films and talked with Hector, his communication was friendly, timely and professional. He had an easy-going demeanor and did not put any pressure on us during the decision process. After we booked him, he put us at ease throughout the planning process while paying attention to detail. On the day of our wedding, he captured so many special moments without taking away from the special moments and our wedding. His natural and candid filming style allowed him to document our day beautifully and authentically. The final video was a perfect memento that we will cherish for years to come. Sooooo many family and friends have complimented the quality of the video and editing. We highly recommend Ebullient Memories Films to any couple looking for a high quality and personable videography team.


Once you know your wedding date, we recommend reaching out as soon as possible about our availability. We film a limited number of weddings every year to ensure our couples receive the highest quality service, so our calendar typically fills up months in advance.
Yes! We’re happy to send a copy of our certificate of liability insurance (COI) to your venue or coordinator/planner upon request.
All of our wedding packages include at least two videographers. If you’re having a larger wedding with 100 or more guests, we recommend booking an additional videographer to ensure we’re able to capture every moment of your special day.
We will do our best to capture your beautiful day in the event of rain, while cameras are not water-proof, they have some form of water-resistance and we'll take appropriate measures to make sure they stay dry. However, we can not record under other inclement weather conditions like snow and hail.
Yes, of course! My team and I work really well with photographers and we aim to have an amicable and professional relationship as we both do our very best to capture your wedding day. We'll keep communication with your team before and during the wedding to ensure we aren't in each other's way and we both get what we need.
We know you are super excited to re-live your magical day over and over again or share it with family and friends! It is of utmost importance to us that you receive a beautiful film that highlights your love and documents your beautiful day as incredible as it was. Therefore, we aim to deliver your final videos within 2-3 months, however, depending on the complexities of the day or if wedding season is particularly busy, it might take slightly longer. Rest assured we take the time we need to make sure you receive a stunning film, while being as efficient as possible.
We do not charge travel fees within California, we do ask that you pay for our parking if we need to park in a parking garage for equipment and personal safety. An invoice will be delivered after the day if the parking fees exceed $15. Travel fees: we love to travel to make sure your beautiful wedding memories are preserved. Thus, we only charge travel fees (airfare). We'll take care of our accommodations.
We love to tailor our videos to our couples, we shoot very candidly and do minimal posing. So we do have a style we prefer, however, we love to incorporate your vision and ideas into the final video. We can not guarantee a particular idea and we always have a chat before we book your date to make sure we can make your vision a reality. It IS your wedding video after all, we feel like you should have some say into how it looks.
We bring 2 lights to all our weddings for toasts and formal dances. We want to make sure there is optimal light for our cameras to retain high quality, crisp images. We also use newer cameras that can capture low-light more cleanly. There are times where vendors or a venue will prevent us from using our lights (particularly during ceremony ie. churches), at that point we will do everything in our power to get the best, cleanest image possible out of our camera to preserve your wedding memories.
More than our style, we set ourselves apart by our values, our professionalism and attention to detail. We value your memories more than anyone and we know how important they are and will be for you in the future. To that effect we perform at 150% to make sure everything that needs to be captured is captured, all the audio is captured and your experience with us is seamless and relaxing. We'll be with you, helping you along the way and making sure you know things are taken care of. Our style is very romantic, unobtrusive and elegant. We want your video to be timeless, beautiful and emotional now and 50 years from now.
Sure! Just chat with us and we'll come up with a quote and a game plan for it :) Whatever memories you want to preserve, we'll be there for you.
We've worked with many beautiful couples from many different backgrounds and religions. Indian, Mexican, Catholic, Orthodox, Greek, LGTBQ+, among others. Your religion and culture is beautiful and something to be captured and remembered. As always, our goal is to preserve your memories and we will do our best to learn about your culture and religion to better execute our job to document the day's events.
While this has never happened, and we hope it never happens. We do have several film makers we are friends with that can respond in the event of an emergency. Our second shooters (all our packages have a 2nd shooter now), also have lead shooting experience and can shoot a wedding alone if need be. We are prepared to pivot regardless of the situation to make sure that your wedding day goes as planned and everything gets filmed seamlessly.
We have audio equipment we use to capture as much as possible from the wedding day, besides our camera microphones, we also have microphones for the couple, the officiant and to record the sound system (with DJ permission) so everything that happens gets recorded. Should there be no DJ or speaker system available, we use our microphones to make sure whoever is speaking is heard in our edits cleanly.
Yes! Now we proudly offer photo + video packages for 6 hour and 8 hour weddings! We can always customize packages if you require less or more coverage. We work seamlessly together, since we are the same team and are really good at reading each other's minds. :D And we still love working with different photographers, so don't feel like you HAVE to book our photo + video package. We always. like meeting new creatives and bouncing ideas of each other.
All of my films are edited by me (Hector D.) I'm the one that has been chatting with you, got to know you and filmed your amazing wedding. We shared your vision and plans for your film, so it makes sense to me that I'd make that vision a reality and personally take care of making sure your film is an incredible experience, documents your day as it happened and perfectly encapsulates the emotions of your day. :)
Absolutely! I have an elopement package and I am happy to film those memories so you can always look back and remember your beautiful day! :)
I actually get this question alot (or get ghosted because of this reason). The answer is very simple: to me, filming people's memories have a personal value. While I have to keep the business running and make at least some form of profit, I also keep in mind that couples want their wedding memories preserved for the future while trying to stay in a budget. Thus, my pricing reflects what I believe is a good marriage of the quality I offer, the experience, my professionalism and my desire to help couples out, while staying on a decent budget. Money isn't everything and to me, filming and preserving your memories is priceless. :)
