Videography
Wedding Videographer and Content Creation in the San Francisco Bay Area
Hire a full-service wedding videographer and content creation team in San Francisco built around documentary-grade filmmaking and editorial-quality social content. Wedding film delivery is a documentary craft here, not a fast cookie-cutter highlight reel. The Bay Area team is part of a national wedding media studio led by a documentary cinematographer with a Sundance Grand Jury Prize and an editorial photo lead. One dedicated point of contact manages your full media team, packages are fully customizable, and prices are published up front so you can compare options without filling out a form first.
The Filmmaking Style
Films lean documentary: real moments, real audio, real emotion, edited with cinema pacing rather than a fast cookie-cutter highlight reel. Color grading is calibrated rather than filtered, audio is captured on lavalier mics for vows and toasts plus ambient room mics for atmosphere, and drone coverage is available as an add-on where venue rules and weather allow. The result is a wedding film couples actually rewatch years later, not just the week after the wedding.
What's Included
- Eight hours of continuous wedding day coverage
- One lead cinematographer
- A five-minute cinematic highlight film, color-graded
- A full documentary edit covering ceremony and key reception moments
- Professional audio capture from lavalier mics for vows and key speakers
- Digital delivery of the final films
Why This Is the Most-Booked Videography Tier
The most-booked configuration: a five-minute highlight film for sharing, paired with a longer documentary edit so the ceremony and reception are preserved at full length, not just clipped into the highlight. Eight hours of coverage carries the team from getting ready through dinner and into the opening dance set.
Reviews and Reputation
This is a 4.9-rated wedding media studio across 505 verified reviews from real wedding couples. The photo team is led by an editorial photographer with retouching credits at Vogue, Vanity Fair, and Harper's Bazaar; the video team is led by a documentary cinematographer who has won a Sundance Grand Jury Prize and premiered five additional documentaries at Tribeca. The content creator team is led by a social-media specialist with millions of views and tens of thousands of followers. Past couples consistently call out fast turnaround on social content, easy responsive communication, and a professional team that captures the day without ever pulling focus from the wedding itself.
Service Area
Bay Area team based in San Francisco serving weddings and events throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, including Oakland, Berkeley, the Peninsula, San Jose and the South Bay, the Tri-Valley, Marin, Napa, Sonoma, and the surrounding Wine Country. Coverage extends to estate weddings, winery celebrations, hotel ballrooms, beach ceremonies, and intimate backyard elopements. Travel beyond the standard Bay Area service area is available and travel fees are confirmed in advance during booking.
How Wedding Day Coverage Works
Every booking starts with a discovery call to confirm the timeline, identify the must-capture moments, and review any audio, drone, or social-content considerations. On the wedding day, the team arrives early to scout the venue, mic the officiant and key speakers, and integrate quietly with the photo team and the planner. Content creator products are delivered within 48 hours of the event. Photos are delivered within 60 days. Final films are delivered within 90 days, with expedited delivery available as an add-on. Every couple has one dedicated point of contact managing the full media team.
Customization, A-la-Carte, and Booking
Every package is fully customizable. Published add-ons include drone coverage at $300 per hour, documentary edits at $300, raw footage delivered on USB or hard drive at $200, additional coverage hours at $250 per hour, additional cinematographers at $150 per hour, teaser films at $75, social recap reels at $75, engagement shoots at $500, printed albums at $250, and content creator selects at $50. Payment plans are available. Bay Area weddings book first for peak spring and fall Saturdays, so reserving as soon as the venue is locked is recommended to hold your preferred date.
