Nick & Paige
Sandstone, open water, and a film that says it quickly. Sound on.
Pale stone.
Nick and Paige were married in La Jolla, and their portraits were made out on the pale sandstone bluffs that run north from the cove.
Theirs is the shortest film here, just under four minutes. It is built almost entirely around that coastline and the last of the afternoon light coming off the water.
Notes on the light.
What makes La Jolla worth the drive is the colour of the rock. The bluffs here are pale gold sandstone rather than the grey volcanic rock further north, so late light does something to them that it does not do elsewhere on the California coast: the whole cliff face warms up and throws that warmth back into faces. It is the reason we push portrait time as late as a timeline will allow here, more than at almost any other coastal venue.
Do you film weddings at La Jolla?
Yes. Nick and Paige'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.
