Danny & Samantha
A stone staircase climbing through Laurel Canyon greenery, a Jewish ceremony under a floral chuppah, and a wedding built around one of the most storied ruins in Los Angeles.
The way it felt.
They climbed the estate's famous stone staircase hand in hand, ivy and mature trees crowding the balustrade on both sides, before a Jewish ceremony under a floral chuppah with a stone wall standing behind them.
It is a property with real history built into every corner, and we filmed it the way we always do here, letting the ruins and the greenery do the work rather than adding anything on top of what was already there.
On The Houdini Estate.
The Houdini Estate sits in Laurel Canyon, the ruins of what was once said to be magician Harry Houdini's Los Angeles property, now a private event space built around stone staircases, ivy-covered walls, and terraced gardens climbing the hillside. It is one of the most storied and visually distinct properties we film a wedding at in Los Angeles, genuinely unlike anywhere else in the city.
Do you film weddings at The Houdini Estate?
Yes. We've filmed at The Houdini Estate and know the property, from where the light is best to how the day moves from ceremony to reception. As a Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles 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.
