Daniel & Alexis
Stone arches, agave, and a estate that photographs like Andalusia. Sound on.
The stone side.
Daniel and Alexis were married at Hummingbird Nest Ranch, and their portraits were made on the brick steps at the front of the estate, under the arched stonework with the agave beds either side. It is the part of the property that looks least like California and most like southern Spain.
Their film runs a little over seven minutes. We have filmed here more than anywhere else, and this is the corner we come back to when the open hills are already spoken for.
Notes on the light.
Most films made at Hummingbird Nest lean on the lawns, the stables or the open hillside, and those are the right instincts. But the estate buildings themselves are the reason the place reads as Mediterranean rather than Californian: arched openings, heavy stonework, brick steps and a lot of mature agave and cactus planted tight against them. That corner holds up in hard midday sun when the open ground does not, which makes it the answer on a summer wedding with an early ceremony.
Do you film weddings at Hummingbird Nest Ranch?
Yes. Daniel and Alexis's wedding film was made there, and you can watch it on this site. Having filmed a place once means we already know how it behaves through the day rather than working it out on the morning.
How much does a wedding videographer cost?
Our collections run from $6,000 for The Moment to $10,000 for The Legacy, our most complete collection. Each one is a full cinematic wedding film of your day plus a custom wedding website. Everything is set out on our Collections page.
When do we get our wedding film?
About 8 to 12 weeks for the full film. The Portrait and The Legacy also include a shorter teaser, delivered sooner, so you have something to share while the main edit is still running.
Will we notice you during the day?
Barely. We film the day as it happens rather than staging it, staying close but out of the way. Most couples tell us afterwards that they forgot anyone was filming.
