Desiree & Dominic
A church, a white car, and a city that still does this properly. Sound on.
The steps.
Desiree and Dominic were married in Los Angeles in December, in a traditional church ceremony, and came out of it to a white vintage car waiting at the steps.
That exit is the frame the film is built around. It is a shot with a long history in this city and it still works, provided you are standing in the right place before the doors open rather than running for it afterwards.
Notes on the light.
Los Angeles has more grand church facades than anywhere else in the state, and a church exit is one of the few moments in a wedding day that is genuinely unrepeatable: it happens once, it lasts about fifteen seconds, and it is over. The whole job is being in position early. December helps, because the sun is low enough by mid afternoon to light the front of a west-facing building properly rather than leaving the steps in shadow the way a June wedding would.
Do you film weddings at Los Angeles?
Yes. Desiree and Dominic'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.
