Randy & Denise
Doves let go over the aisle, and a rotunda above the Pacific. Sound on.
Let go.
Randy and Denise were married at Pelican Hill, under a draped arch on the event lawn, and their ceremony ended with white doves released over the aisle.
What is on this page is their teaser rather than the full film, a little over four minutes of it. A teaser is not a trailer for something better, it is the day at its most concentrated.
Notes on the place.
A dove release is one of the few things at a wedding that cannot be repeated, cannot be rehearsed and lasts about three seconds. There is exactly one place to stand for it, which is far enough back to hold both the couple and the sky in frame. Get it wrong and you have birds and no faces, or faces and no birds. It is the kind of moment that rewards knowing the property well enough that you are not still choosing an angle when it happens.
Do you film weddings at The Resort at Pelican Hill?
Yes. Randy and Denise'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.
