Jonathan & April
Jonathan and April, married at San Moritz Lodge on the shore of Lake Gregory. Sound on.
Into the pines.
Jonathan and April were married at San Moritz Lodge, on the southeast shore of Lake Gregory in Crestline. The frame we chose for the poster is the two of them walking away hand in hand through tall pines toward the water, low sun coming through the trunks in bars. It is the shot this property gives you if you time the afternoon correctly.
The film runs six minutes and fifty-five seconds. Any wedding at altitude gets planned the same way: light first, then sound, then stay out of the way.
Notes on the place.
Two colour problems live here and they pull in opposite directions. The interior is timber and firelight, so it runs warm. The pine shade outside runs cold and slightly green. Set two looks before the day begins rather than chasing white balance shot to shot. The shoreline sits a short walk from the lodge doors, and that is where low sun does its best work, though the window is short because the western ridge takes the sun early. Wind off the lake is worth planning outdoor audio around.
Do you film weddings at San Moritz Lodge?
Yes. Jonathan and April'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.
