Adam & Laura
A Jewish ceremony under a floral chuppah, a bluff over the Pacific, and a first dance under flowers that filled the whole room.
The way it felt.
The ceremony happened right on the bluff, vows exchanged under a floral chuppah with the Pacific running out behind them for the whole width of the frame. Adam and Laura's film was always going to open there.
The reception carried that same feeling indoors that evening, under a floral installation big enough to anchor the whole room, and it closed with a first dance that had both of them laughing halfway through. We stayed close and let it happen.
On The Ritz-Carlton.
The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel sits on a bluff above the Pacific in Dana Point, with a lawn built for exactly the kind of oceanfront ceremony Adam and Laura had. The light off the water runs soft most of the day and turns gold fast at sunset, so we plan around that window when a couple is marrying here. Indoors, the hotel's ballrooms give a reception real scale without losing the coastline it sits on.
Do you film weddings at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel?
Yes. We've filmed at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel and know the property, from where the light is best to how the day moves from ceremony to reception. As a Dana Point wedding videographer we plan the coverage around the venue itself, so the film feels specific to where you got married, not generic.
How much does a Dana Point wedding videographer cost?
Our wedding films range from $6,000 for The Moment to $10,000 for The Legacy, our most complete collection. Every collection includes a full cinematic wedding film plus a custom wedding website. You can see everything on our Collections page.
How soon do we get our wedding film?
Your full cinematic wedding film is delivered in about 8 to 12 weeks. Our two larger collections, The Portrait and The Legacy, also include a shorter teaser, delivered sooner so you have something to share while the full film is edited.
Is there a difference between a wedding film and a wedding video?
We'd say yes. A wedding video is a record of what happened. A wedding film is edited with intention, pacing, and your actual vows and speeches woven through it, so it plays more like a short film than a highlight reel. That's what we make.
Will we notice you during the day?
Barely, and that's the point. We film the day as it actually unfolds rather than staging it, staying close but out of the way, so you're present for your wedding instead of performing for a camera. Most couples tell us they forgot we were filming until they watched the film back.
