Faraz & Nassim
A Persian ceremony with the sofreh aghd laid out in full, set against a wall of white and blush blooms, and a candlelit dinner that ran the whole length of the terraced grounds.
The way it felt.
The sofreh aghd was laid out in front of them in full, mirror and candles and fruit, against a floral wall built floor to ceiling in white and blush. The boulders of the Simi hills sat directly behind it.
Dinner ran long tables the length of the terraced grounds after dark, taper candles down every one of them and the estate lit up behind. It is one of the largest single setups we have filmed at this property.
On Hummingbird Nest Ranch.
Hummingbird Nest Ranch is a Spanish Colonial estate on more than a hundred acres in Simi Valley, with sandstone boulder formations rising behind the property and dry golden hills in every direction. The terraced grounds below the main house hold a large seated dinner without feeling crowded, and the estate facade lights beautifully after dark, which matters for a reception that runs late.
Do you film weddings at Hummingbird Nest Ranch?
Yes. We've filmed at Hummingbird Nest Ranch and know the property, from where the light is best to how the day moves from ceremony to reception. As a wedding videographer who works across California we plan the coverage around the venue itself, so the film feels specific to where you got married, not generic.
How much does a wedding videographer cost in Simi Valley?
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.
