Zoe & Mitch
Zoe and Mitch, on the La Jolla coast. Four minutes, start to finish. Sound on.
Close, and laughing.
Zoe and Mitch were married in La Jolla, and the frame that opens this film is the one we kept coming back to: the two of them close enough that the background has gone to nothing, she is laughing, he is in a light suit, and the focus holds on her face. Four minutes, start to finish.
There is no venue name on this page because there does not need to be. On this stretch of coast the location carries a film on its own. What the frame shows is a long lens and a background gone to nothing, which is how we work a coast that is doing the heavy lifting on its own.
Notes on the coast.
La Jolla sits on Cretaceous sandstone bluffs that step down to the water in terraces, roughly sixteen feet at Goldfish Point and over a hundred feet further along, with sea caves cut into the rock below. Two things follow from that. The coast faces west, so the light at the end of the day comes in flat and low and turns the stone warm, which is generous on skin and hard on exposure: you are riding the highlights the whole time. And the marine layer runs the schedule. May and June are the cloudiest months on this coast, and the shoreline holds the grey longest, often clearing only late morning or early afternoon. Plan portraits late. Wind off the water will find every lapel mic, so we tape and foam and shoot the vows close.
Do you film weddings in La Jolla?
Yes. Zoe and Mitch's film was shot there, and it is a coast we know how to read. La Jolla is not a single venue, it is a stretch of west-facing sandstone bluff with sea caves under it and public access shared with everyone else on the coast, so the useful knowledge is logistical as much as visual: where you can legally set up, how long the walk down is in a dress, and how late the marine layer is likely to sit before the light turns. We plan the day backwards from that.
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.
