Where we film · Los Angeles

A film house at home in Los Angeles.

Wedding films across Los Angeles, from the sand at Santa Monica to the old cathedral downtown. The venues we know, the films we made there, and how to check your date.

Notes on filming this city

Los Angeles is not one light, it is several. The westside wakes under a marine layer that burns off by early afternoon, which is why coastal ceremonies sit best after lunch. Inland, the light is harder and cleaner, and it rewards shade and patience. And everywhere, the city keeps its famous promise: a long, unhurried golden hour that turns stucco, palm, and skyline the same shade of amber. After ten years and more than 200 weddings, we plan around this city’s light the way locals plan around its traffic, automatically.

We are based here. That matters less for the driving and more for the knowing: which rooms go gold at five, which courtyards hold their evening warmth, where the sun lands on an aisle in October versus June.

The venues we know

Hotel Casa del Mar, Santa Monica. The 1926 landmark directly on the sand. Ceremonies against clean ocean light, and a grand staircase that gives a film its centerpiece. Our film there: Jeremy & Lauren.

The Beverly Hills Hotel. The Pink Palace, filming like the set it practically is. Our film there: Ben & Roxy.

Vibiana, downtown. A former 1876 cathedral where candlelight and shadow carry real gravity. Our film there: Markar & Giavonna.

Hummingbird Nest Ranch, Santa Susana. The Spanish estate in the hills, and the venue we have filmed twice: Edmond & Lauren and Luke & Anna.

Padua Hills Theatre, Claremont. A 1930 Spanish Colonial theatre in the olive groves. Our film there: Kelsey & Zach.

Every venue above has its own page of filming notes, and the full archive lives at venues we know by heart.

How booking works

Three collections, stated plainly: The Moment at $6,000, The Portrait at $8,000, and The Legacy at $10,000.

The details live on the collections page, and if you are still budgeting, we published the honest numbers for this market, tier by tier.

We take on a limited number of weddings each year. If your date is set, the kindest thing you can do for your timeline is check it with us early.

Questions, answered

How much does a wedding videographer cost in Los Angeles?

The Los Angeles market runs from roughly $1,500 for a solo shooter to well past $15,000 for full luxury production. Our collections run $6,000 to $10,000, published in plain text on our pricing page. We also wrote an honest guide to the whole market, linked on this page.

Which Los Angeles venues have you filmed?

Hotel Casa del Mar, The Beverly Hills Hotel, Vibiana, Hummingbird Nest Ranch, and Padua Hills Theatre, each with its own page of filming notes on this site. New venues join the archive with every season.

Do you travel outside Los Angeles?

Yes. Orange County, San Diego, and Santa Barbara are part of our home range, and we film destination weddings as well. Recent films include Los Cabos, Sarasota, Phoenix, and the Bay Area.

How soon after the wedding do we receive our film?

The full film arrives in about 8 to 12 weeks. The Portrait and The Legacy collections also include a cinematic teaser that lands much sooner.
