Videography
For couples planning a courthouse ceremony, a winery ceremony, or a private ceremony in the Napa Valley, Sonoma, Santa Rosa, CA, the wider Bay Area, or anywhere across NorCal, this wedding videographer delivers a focused two-hour build framed entirely around the ceremony moment. A solo lead operator runs a compact multi-camera rig during the ceremony window, and video production finishes inside the studio's in-house edit pipeline so the captured library lands as a single comprehensive ceremony cut up to thirty minutes in length.
The Ceremony tier is the focused-cut video production services option in the Napa Valley studio's tier ladder. Couples planning a short ceremony with no reception coverage, a private vow exchange, a courthouse moment paired with a winery walk-around, or a destination ceremony added to a longer trip receive a clean ceremony edit that preserves the processional, the vows, the ring exchange, the first kiss, and the recessional in one continuous, music-paced piece.

Style, approach, and gear
A cinematic and documentary hybrid carries the ceremony build, with the multi-camera rig giving the edit room parallel framing across the day's most important beats. Cross-cuts between the tight reaction shot and the wider ceremony wide are available on every featured moment, including the processional, the vow exchange, the ring exchange, the first kiss, and the recessional. Aerial drone work anchors the venue geography when the venue's drone policy allows airframe use, and the in-house edit pipeline keeps every creative choice under the same roof as capture.
Ceremony-day gear stays compact and venue-appropriate: two cinema bodies on the lead operator's rig, a swappable lens kit for tight reactions and wider room coverage, a venue-cleared drone for outdoor establishing shots when conditions allow, wireless lavalier mics on the officiant and both partners for vow clarity, and redundant card recording on every body so the captured library is fault-tolerant by the time the ceremony cut reaches the edit room.
Coverage spans the Napa Valley, Sonoma Wine Country, Santa Rosa, CA, San Francisco, the wider Bay Area corridor, and the rest of NorCal, with travel into destination wine-country venues quoted separately when the ceremony falls outside the local radius.
Optional add-ons
- Custom quote for ceremonies running longer than thirty minutes in finished length
- Extra coverage hour for couples extending the day into cocktail-hour photography
- Drone coverage extension for couples with a second outdoor location or send-off site
- Engagement session for an evening pre-wedding portrait shoot ahead of the wedding date
Beyond the Ceremony entry tier
The studio also runs as a full video production company across longer-day tiers, including a five-hour Highlight tier, a six-hour Standard tier, a seven-hour Feature tier, and a combination Works tier for couples wanting ceremony plus full-reception coverage. The capture workflow, drone availability, and lead-edits-the-day approach carry consistently across every tier, so the visual fingerprint stays stable between the ceremony-only build and the longer-day reception builds.
Trust signals and responsiveness
The studio carries multi-season directory coverage on a major wedding platform with a highly rated aggregate and a strong recommendation track record from past couples.
