Welcome. You believe your love makes life worth living, and that's worth celebrating again and again. I do too. I am passionate about creating an experience that goes far beyond your wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I got married in Monterey, CA in May 2024 and we chose Junior Films as our videographer for our wedding. We could not be happier with our decision to work with Arturo on our wedding day! Like many couples, we initially thought we didn't need a videographer because we hired a photographer. However, after further discussion, we decided to explore adding a videographer to our special day. After meeting with Arturo from Junior Films and seeing his work, we knew that we wanted to hire him to film our wedding. This decision was truly one of the best decisions that we made during our wedding planning process! I lost track of how many times I said throughout the weekend - “I am so happy we decided to hire Art as our videographer because now we have this on film!” In our meetings leading up to the wedding, Arturo made sure he knew exactly what we wanted to capture and who we wanted to film the most on our big day.He is very dedicated to his work and will go the extra mile to get the necessary footage to best document the magic of the weekend events. He also worked closely with the DJ, photographer, venue coordinator & wedding planner to put our vision to video. On the wedding day, I was very impressed by his attention to detail while filming these once in a lifetime moments. Our wedding truly went by so fast - and even though we tried to be as present as possible - we couldn’t be everywhere at once - so we still missed major moments amongst our guests that happened on our big day. Luckily these moments were caught on film! Plus, as we were actively living through all of the raw emotions in real time on our wedding day - it is reassuring and invaluable to know that we have all of those raw emotions, reactions, and voices of loved ones beautifully captured on film thanks to Junior Films! We look forward to rewatching this footage for years to come!

Zweifel Studios

Aptos, CA
  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $4,200

Film holds power. It captures mountain breezes through veils, secret shared smiles and zany dance moves. Most importantly, it brings it all back to life. Over the past 10 years here at Zweifel Studios we have been compelled by the power of Story. We've made films about people, businesses, surfing, lifestyle - everything. But bearing witness to weddings - major milestones in the lives of others - are uniquely vulnerable and joyful occasions. These films inherently hold deep meaning and are often looked at for the rest of peoples lives - giving us a sense of responsibility to do our best each and every time.

Ryland and Sarah (Zweifel Studios) were amazing to have with us on our big day. They were fun, made us feel at ease, and were always in the right place but never in the way. Our film captured us perfectly down to the last detail. Can't recommend enough!

Unlike larger agencies, I offer personalized, one-on-one service to ensure your vision is perfectly captured. Let's create memories that last a lifetime together!

My wife and I had been referred to Tim and Affinity Productions by a friend and we couldn’t have been any happier. We booked them and it was just a great experience from beginning to end. Tim set up meetings online for us to go through prices, timelines, and ideas. He is very transparent with what services him and his team offer and they delivered! He had excellent communication throughout the process and it made wedding planning so much easier knowing that we would have videography on lock. On the actual wedding day, they brought so much enthusiasm and fun. They captured everything, from the getting ready videos, ceremony, speeches, and open dancing. I also appreciated all the candid shots that they took and that they even joined in on the dancing to capture our friends and family having a great time. When we finally received our highlights and whole movie, it was just amazing, a true treasure that we have saved and can rewatch forever. Thanks again to Affinity Productions and Tim!

Sagebrush Films specializes in candid, natural wedding films. Weddings are awesome. Most wedding videos are corny. Sagebrush Films was created to fix that. We capture your day as it happens naturally, without the gimmicks and cheeseball editing. It should go without saying, but we film weddings for couples of any religion, orientation, color or creed.

Awarded Best of Zola
Most wedding videographers have no creativity. They recycle the same corny edit with a few speeches and a Michael Bublé song overlaid. Joel and his team are different. They delivered something that truly feels unique and fresh. Literally dozens of guest from our wedding have reached out to us and told us that we have the best wedding film they have ever seen. Working with Joel was a pleasure and we could not be happier with the end result! Our video is definitely something that we will cherish and revisit for many years to come. Thanks again, Joel!

We are a husband and wife videography team. Dominic received his MFA in Film Directing from the Academy of Art in San Francisco and has over 10 years of videography experience. We got married on January 6, 2018 and quickly realized we had made a big mistake not hiring a wedding videographer to capture our day. We decided to start our own video production business and provide quality wedding videography services to make sure other couples have a wedding film to help them remember all the special moments of their most special day. We are passionate about filmmaking and can't wait to hear more about your love story!

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!

Alex's photography is nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I discovered his work on social media, I knew he was the perfect choice to capture our moments. His ability to effortlessly blend into our family dynamic made the entire experience feel natural and comfortable. Alex's warmth, flexibility, and genuine care translated into stunning photographs that exceeded our expectations.

i grew up in europe and from early on used my father's rolleiflex and super 8 cameras. to me, old photographs evoke a sense of nostalgia, which inspired me to tell stories a bit abstract and ephemeral like reveries. my films are more like vignettes, moments in time that provide a glimpse of what it felt like on your day. which i think helps convey an essence about who you are and what the experience was like.

We have nothing but great things to say about Alex and his team! He was extremely easy to work with and leading up the wedding day, we had no issues with communicating about what we wanted and our vision. The days before the wedding, we realized that we needed to have more coverage on the day of so we reached out to Alex and he had no issues accommodating our request. On the day of the wedding, it went so smoothly and we're so grateful that Alex was very professional. He has definitely done many weddings and knows what he's doing. Our wedding planner coordinated with Alex to make sure we followed our timeline and I can honestly say that I never had to worry about where Alex was or what he was doing. After the wedding, Alex was able to give us our one minute teaser trailer after a week and it was so awesome!! I must have watched it 100 times. We received our 10 minute trailer and 1.5 hour movie 2.5 months after our wedding and my wife and I both teared up watching the videos. They were so amazing and honestly have been on repeat every day since we received the videos. I am amazed at how he was able to edit the films to get the lighting looking great because it was definitely not that perfect on the actual day of our wedding. It blows my mind about how good the quality of the video was. I would highly recommend Alex and his team to all of my friends!!! Thank you so much for everything that you contributed to making our wedding the best day of our lives!

On actual wedding weekend, Lauren and Travis were flexible to adapt their timeline to accommodate little surprise moments we hadn't planned for -- like an impromptu receiving line from cocktail hour into the reception tent, and cutting the wedding cake much earlier than originally planned.

Stephen James Films made the best wedding videos we could have imagined and we are so happy that we have the videos to last for the rest of our lives! We initially did not plan to hire a videographer for our wedding and I'm so happy we changed that mindset! We had conveniently met them at another wedding, just a few months prior while my husband was fascinated by their drone. We instantly connected and started chatting about the what if they came to our wedding. After seeing some of their previous videos, we knew we needed to have them come. Throughout planning, we kept them in the loop and got to know them more as we finalized the plans. Stephen and Rosie travel throughout the country and included a date night video in our package which we got to know them further and spend some fun time outside of wedding talk with them. This was such a unique offer and while it was only a 60sec video, the quality of what was produced from being on a date night with them really made us know we made the right decision. The videos from our wedding were quickly turned around and we have had multiple friends ask us for their contact. They got all the details and channeled our vision and vibes from the wedding to the videos.

It seems lost on some videographers what this day is that we film and what our role on that day should be. Some get so wrapped up in their own creativity that they take away from the couples wedding day experience. With me, your wedding experience is my priority. My approach is candid and minimalistic. There is so much beauty in the organic moments that happen at a wedding that there shouldn't be a need to manufacture any. If im doing my job correctly you shouldn't even know im there. ​I personally handle all aspects of production from the initial consultation, to the filming, editing, and delivery of your final film.

Hiring Steven was one of the best decisions we made in building our team for our June 2023 wedding in Napa. We appreciated the upbeat and positive energy he brought throughout the planning process. He was super helpful and provided proactive guidance to make our day as seamless as possible. Working with Steven allowed us to feel reassured and confident that we would have all the content and footage we had hoped for from our special day. Steven went above and beyond to work with us throughout our wedding weekend and put a package together to film our rehearsal dinner in addition to the wedding. We will forever be grateful for Steven and having so many important moments throughout the weekend captured so beautifully. Steven was one of the most professional vendors we worked with and he was very solution-oriented during the day of the wedding, which was logistically complicated, and provided a great sense of calm. His artistic direction was top-notch and we're very thankful of all the creative guidance he provided us with as those are some of our favorite shots. He did a fantastic job working with our other vendors and everyone in our wedding party loved him. The final product of the wedding films beat expectations and we were very appreciative of Steven being collaborative and patient throughout the process to ensure our vision was brought to life. We couldn't be happier with our film and working with Steven. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic videographer for their upcoming nuptials. Thank you, Steven!

I even asked him to live stream my wedding, which he hadnʻt done before, but did what he could to make it happen. Sadly, he was not able to have someone help him on the day of my wedding which resulted him in trying to do everything I asked on his own. It was really difficult for him to film, live stream, and include drone footage but he did his best and I appreciated him for all of the effort he put in. I got my video back rather quickly and was very happy with it. Ian is a wonderful videographer and is super amazing to work with.

I am so blown away by not only the quality of Clint and Leandra's work as videographers, but also what wonderful people they are! Not even halfway through our first zoom with them to talk about what packages they offer and our vision for the day I knew they were the perfect fit for us! Being with them on the wedding day felt like hanging out with old friends, they were amazing at blending in to the crowd to capture candid moments while also giving us prompts that created some of our favorite memories of the day. They worked so well with our other vendors and I don't think our day would have been complete without them. They are masters at what they do, and also the perfect people to have during a busy and, at times, stressful day (Leandra was able to bussle my dress when no one else could get the loop on the buttons AND snagged me some appetizers when I was resting my feet after the receiving line, she was a lifesaver!)

I came to the states in 2015 to get my Masters in International Business but fell in love with the art of capturing light. Since then, I’ve never looked back. I chose weddings because I love to capture emotions. They are rare and candid in weddings, which you’ll never find elsewhere. Being able to record and showcase those moments that the couple and their family will cherish forever is priceless.

I am an intimate wedding and elopement filmmaker and photographer based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I’m married to my life-long adventure partner, Josue (Sway for short), and we have a 2-year-old golden doodle, Murphy, who is our whole world. When I’m not creating art, I can be found tending to my enormous plant collection, catching up on the latest episode of This is Us, serving on my church worship team, or hanging at the dog park. I’m passionate about documenting the ‘in-between’ moments of life. I thrive on intimate, emotional moments and I feel it’s my purpose in life to preserve people’s stories through my art.

Hey, we are Sofiya & Tim! We use our creative heart and eye for the small details to capture those beautiful, simple moments of your day. Our goal is to let your love tell the story, and to document it like an epic movie. We will laugh with you, cry with you, bust a move on the dance floor with you, and most importantly, cheer you on through the entire day! If you're ready to create beautiful images and memories, let chat!

We were on the fence about hiring a videographer and decided last minute to look into it. We found Sofia and we’re SO glad we did. She and Tim did an incredible job capturing all of the little things that were really important to us (like our pups and the mountain scenery). Plus she was so easy to work with, we never felt awkward like we thought we would on video. We love having our video to watch and reminisce the most amazing day of our lives. Do not hesitate to hire them, they are truly amazing 3
