Josh & Jade
Wine country in December, and the longest film in the archive. Sound on.
Inland gold.
Josh and Jade were married in Temecula in December, out in the dry open ground east of the coast where the grass has already gone gold and the hills sit low and pale behind everything.
Theirs runs over eleven minutes, which makes it the longest film on this site by some distance. Some days earn the extra time and this was one of them.
Notes on the light.
Temecula is far enough inland that it behaves nothing like the coastal venues an hour west. The marine layer never reaches it, so mornings are clear rather than grey, and the light through the middle of the day is harder and more contrasted than anything on the coast. By December the ground has gone completely gold, which is unflattering to nobody and photographs far better than the green it briefly turns in spring. The thing to plan for is temperature swing: it can be warm at four and genuinely cold by eight.
Do you film weddings at Temecula?
Yes. Josh and Jade'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.
