Jonathan & Breanna
Jonathan and Breanna, married at Serendipity Garden Weddings in Oak Glen. Sound on.
Above the valley.
Jonathan and Breanna were married at Serendipity Garden Weddings, on the mountain slope above the valley in Oak Glen. The frame we kept coming back to is the two of them close together with the sun flaring between them, the wooded slope holding one side and the rolling hills running out behind. That is the property doing the work.
The film runs six minutes and eighteen seconds. That length is a choice rather than a default: enough room to let the quiet parts sit at their own pace, and short enough that it still plays end to end on an ordinary evening years from now.
Notes on the place.
Serendipity sits at around 4,700 feet in the San Bernardino Mountains, and the venue puts its summer temperatures about ten degrees cooler than the valley below. The gardens, rather than the widest views, are the best portrait ground on the property, because the planting gives you edges to shape a frame with. Bring a longer lens than you think you need and stay back. The place reads better at distance than up close.
Do you film weddings at Serendipity Garden Weddings?
Yes. Jonathan and Breanna'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.
