About Motel Cinema

Motel Cinema

Owner

Fueled by nostalgic recalling we aim to create a film that is timeless and authentic. Motel Cinema is based out of San Diego, Ca and our approach to weddings is inspired by the untraditional travelers before us, who hit the road in search of adventure into the unknown. We don't like boxes and we don't want wedding films that fit into one. If that tickles your fancy let's get weird.

Authenticity is important when it comes to weddings and really any sort of storytelling. It's those special in between moments that you can't recreate. The best way that I have found to capture those moments is to take an easy going approach (you can't force the good stuff), be light on my feet (no obnoxious camera gear), and have fun!

    Brandon & the Motel Cinema team are simply the best of the best! Having a videographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding - they captured the most special day of our lives so perfectly & we couldn’t be more grateful! The video is so natural and flows seamlessly. From the music throughout the video, to the super 8 footage & editing skills..it is all such a vibe!! In all, motel cinema brought such a good energy to our wedding and we’re so fun to work with! We will cherish this video for the rest of our lives! Truly so much talent, cannot recommend motel cinema enough!! 3

    Motel Cinema was amazing to work with. Brandon really captured the essence and spirit of our day - from the key moments to the small details and moments in between. We really appreciated both his professionalism and laid back approach throughout the whole planning process and day of. His film style is so special and nostalgic; there’s a realness and authenticity to his films that is hard to come by. Our wedding video was just that and is a time capsule of our day that we will treasure for a lifetime. If you are wanting a wedding video that will take you back to the joy of you day, Motel Cinema is it!

    Working with Brandon and Motel Cinema is always a fantastic experience. Brandon’s filmmaking ability is not only professional but he and his team have a downright genius artist’s instinct to be creative and produce original results. Brandon is very easy going, light hearted, and a joy to be around. He always keeps his couples smiling on their wedding day! I’m always stoked to have Brandon on my vendor team. 10/10

    Brandon is an absolute visionary behind the camera. He’s creative with every shot and very easy to work alongside! We’ve captured many weddings together and he’s always the #1 videographer I refer and prefer!
