Kyle & Ava
An island an hour offshore, and a harbour town underneath us. Sound on.
Everyone comes by boat.
Kyle and Ava were married on Catalina Island, and their portraits were made on the hillside above Avalon with the whole town and its harbour laid out below.
Getting married on Catalina means everyone arrives by boat, which changes the shape of a wedding day more than people expect. It compresses everything and it makes the whole weekend feel like one event rather than a few hours in the middle of a Saturday.
Notes on the light.
Filming on Catalina is a logistics problem before it is a creative one. Everything crosses on the ferry, which means gear is limited to what can be carried and there is no going back for anything. We plan a smaller, more deliberate kit for island weddings and we build the timeline around boat schedules rather than sunset alone. What you get in return is a backdrop nowhere on the mainland can offer: a Mediterranean-looking harbour town stacked up a hillside, and water in almost every frame.
Do you film weddings at Catalina Island?
Yes. Kyle and Ava'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.
