01The Day

The way it felt.

Some moments you can't direct. Luke's face the second he saw her is one of them, Anna said later they'd show their kids one day, and that's exactly the kind of moment this film is built on.

The ceremony sat beneath the old oaks at Hummingbird Nest Ranch, light breaking through the canopy in patches. We let the real audio carry it: the vows, the laughter that got away from people, the quiet in between. No score can do what a cracking voice does.

02Filming at Hummingbird Nest Ranch

On Hummingbird Nest Ranch.

Hummingbird Nest Ranch hides in the rocky pass country between Simi Valley and Chatsworth: sandstone outcrops, old-growth oaks and a Spanish estate that feels a world away from the city it borders. Ceremonies beneath the oaks trade big vistas for intimacy, dappled light, deep shade and a natural hush that records beautifully. It is a venue we know shot by shot.

QWedding Film & Video, Answered
Do you film weddings at Hummingbird Nest Ranch?

Yes. Hummingbird Nest Ranch is one of our favorite Los Angeles area venues, and we know it well, from the olive groves at hilltop golden hour to the bougainvillea against the white stucco. As a Hummingbird Nest Ranch wedding videographer we plan the day around the last hour of light on the ridgeline, so your wedding film feels the way the day actually felt. Santa Susana sits right in our home range as a Los Angeles based studio.

How much does a Hummingbird Nest Ranch wedding videographer cost?

Our wedding films range from $6,000 for The Moment to $10,000 for The Legacy, our most complete collection. Every collection is a full cinematic wedding video of your Hummingbird Nest Ranch day 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 of your wedding video, 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?

Not much. The terms get used interchangeably. Whether you are searching for a Hummingbird Nest Ranch wedding videographer or a wedding film, we make the same thing: one cinematic piece, scored and edited like a short film, from your day at Hummingbird Nest Ranch.

Will we notice you during the day?

Barely, and that is the point. We film the day as it actually unfolds rather than staging it, staying close but out of the way, so you are present for your wedding instead of performing for a camera. Most couples tell us they forgot we were filming until they watched their wedding film.
