Rahul & Prianka
Italian architecture, 300 feet above the Pacific. Press play, sound on.
The way it felt.
Pelican Hill is a Mediterranean village dropped onto 504 acres of the Newport Coast, and its centrepiece is a rotunda perched three hundred feet above the ocean. Rahul and Prianka's day used all of it, and the colour they brought turned the whole palette warm.
It moved with a big, generous joy: family everywhere, a lawn full of people, and an ocean horizon that never left the frame. We filmed it close and unhurried, and let the architecture and the Pacific carry the wide shots.
On Pelican Hill.
The Resort at Pelican Hill sits on the Newport Coast, a Mediterranean village of 504 acres where Italian Renaissance architecture meets the Southern California shoreline. The Rotunda is the signature: a domed, colonnaded pavilion at the end of an oval event lawn, ringed by century-old olive trees and rows of lavender, with a hundred and eighty degrees of open Pacific behind it. Because the resort hosts a single wedding a day and the event lawn sits apart from the hotel, the whole ridge feels private. We plan every Pelican Hill wedding film around the last hour of sun on that lawn, when the ocean goes silver and the columns throw long shadow.
Do you film weddings at Pelican Hill?
Yes. Pelican Hill is one of our favorite Orange County venues, and we know it well, from the oval event lawn and its clipped topiary to the colonnade and the rotunda above the water. As a Pelican Hill wedding videographer we plan the day around the last hour of sun over the Pacific, so your wedding film feels the way the day actually felt. Newport Beach and the Orange County coast are right in our home range as a Los Angeles based studio.
How much does a Pelican Hill 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 Pelican Hill 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 Pelican Hill 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 Pelican Hill.
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.
