Edmond & Lauren
Golden hills at dusk. Press play, sound on.
The way it felt.
Hummingbird Nest Ranch earns its light. The hills go from pale gold to amber in the last hour, and Edmond and Lauren's day was built around it, vows in the open air, the valley falling away behind them, the kind of backdrop you don't have to dress up.
This film leans on what was already there. Real voices. The wind moving through dry grass. Two people who couldn't stop looking at each other. We stayed close, kept out of the way, and cut the day the way it felt, unhurried, warm, certain.
On Hummingbird Nest Ranch.
Hummingbird Nest Ranch sits in the Santa Susana Mountains near Simi Valley, northwest of Los Angeles, a 1920s Spanish estate of courtyards, arched colonnades and open hillsides, with the Santa Susana rocks glowing behind it. It has one of the most reliable golden hours in Southern California, low clean light that holds long enough to plan the portraits around. We have filmed at Hummingbird Nest Ranch more than once, and we know where the day looks best, from first look to last dance.
Edmond and Lauren married at Hummingbird Nest Ranch, a 1920s Spanish estate in the Santa Susana Mountains near Simi Valley. As their Hummingbird Nest Ranch wedding videographer, we followed the light from terracotta courtyards to open hills and one of Southern California's longest golden hours.
Do you film weddings at Hummingbird Nest Ranch?
Yes. Hummingbird Nest Ranch is one of our favorite Los Angeles area venues, and we know it well, from the olive groves at hilltop golden hour to the bougainvillea against the white stucco. As a Hummingbird Nest Ranch wedding videographer we plan the day around the last hour of light on the ridgeline, so your wedding film feels the way the day actually felt. Santa Susana sits right in our home range as a Los Angeles based studio.
How much does a Hummingbird Nest Ranch 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 is a full cinematic wedding video of your Hummingbird Nest Ranch day 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 of your wedding video, 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?
Not much. The terms get used interchangeably. Whether you are searching for a Hummingbird Nest Ranch wedding videographer or a wedding film, we make the same thing: one cinematic piece, scored and edited like a short film, from your day at Hummingbird Nest Ranch.
Will we notice you during the day?
Barely, and that is the point. We film the day as it actually unfolds rather than staging it, staying close but out of the way, so you are present for your wedding instead of performing for a camera. Most couples tell us they forgot we were filming until they watched their wedding film.
