Ryan & Cynthia
Wrought iron, bougainvillea, and the estate at its most Spanish. Sound on.
Two estates.
Ryan and Cynthia were married at Hummingbird Nest Ranch, and their portraits were made at the ironwork gates where the bougainvillea comes over the wall and the agave is planted hard against the steps.
That corner of the estate looks nothing like the open hillside a few minutes away, which is the argument for using both in one film.
Notes on the place.
Hummingbird Nest effectively gives you two different locations. The formal side is Spanish colonial: ironwork, arches, bougainvillea, terracotta, all of it planted and deliberate. The other side is bare California hillside with nothing on it. A film that uses only one of them is leaving half the property unused, and the walk between them takes under five minutes. We build the portrait plan to hit both, formal first while the sun is still high, open ground once it drops.
Do you film weddings at Hummingbird Nest Ranch?
Yes. Ryan and Cynthia'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.
