The Filmmaker

I film the day,
then get out of its way.

I'm Jason Shelton, founder of Rayne Wedding Films. For over ten years I've made cinematic wedding films across Southern California, one filmmaker fully focused on your day, cutting each wedding like a short film built to last.

I stay close and hands-on, so the camera disappears and the day stays yours. Real vows, real voices, and light I don't fake carry every edit. What you get back is a short film that plays like cinema and a documentary cut that keeps the whole day, graded to feel as honest in thirty years as the week it's delivered.

02My Approach

Four things I won't compromise.

01

Cinematic

Movie-grade craft: composition, sound, and a grade built to last, never a highlight reel.

02

Story-Driven

Your vows, letters, and real voices carry the edit: your story, not a montage set to music.

03

Local & Beyond

Based in Orange County, filming Los Angeles, San Diego, and Santa Barbara. I love traveling for weddings, wherever yours is.

04

Timeless

Restrained pacing and grade, so it feels right thirty years on.

03Common Questions

A cinematic short film plus a longer documentary edit, real audio from your vows and toasts, and a color grade built to last.

When will I get my film? +

A sneak peek within weeks, and the full film delivered in a grade I'd still be proud of decades from now.
