  • Serves Santa Rosa, CA

Bustle & Twine specializes in documentary wedding videography - telling the story of your day through all the beautiful details, unexpected surprises, and candid emotions as they unfold. We strive to capture every moment of your day while keeping a low profile.

The Bustle & Twine video team was fantastic - didn't even notice they were there / very much faded into the background but when the videos were delivered (multiple - a fun trailer, highlight video, ceremony video, first dances) you could tell they captured every beautiful moment and more. Their style is real and personal - not overly stylized or dramatic - just intimate and lovely. I cry every time I watch our wedding video! Not to mention the entire Bustle & Twine team is just a joy to work with - friendly, personable, goes above and beyond. Love.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re reading this review, you’re likely considering Steven and Wild Light Films as part of your big day. DO IT!! We were originally drawn to his unique style of work, music-video like approach, and storytelling ability in capturing the essence of people’s wedding days. Working with Steven was incredible and we can’t say enough about how much we loved his work. We booked him back in 2019 for our 2020 wedding, but of course with COVID we had to push it back a year. He was super flexible and accommodating, and we still figured out a plan to have video footage of an intimate ceremony in 2020, as well as the original plan for 2021. He did such an amazing job incorporating the two ceremonies together into one seamless video, which he turned around even quicker than we expected! Steven is a delight to work with—truly a genuinely kind person. His video editing craftsmanship and storytelling are compelling—rewatching our video + highlights felt like taking us right back to the memories and joy of our day. Do yourself and your future self a favor and get Steven to make your wedding video that you’ll cherish for years to come.

Cook Captures

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Santa Rosa, CA

Hi there, my name is Caleb but most people call me Cook. I spent almost 13 years in the southeast filming weddings, events, corporate gigs and commercials. I moved to California in 2012 and pursued a different career. A couple years ago I decided to get back into event videography and started Cook Captures. When shooting events I have a very hands off candid style. I love to capture people naturally having fun, enjoying the day and creating memories. Every event I film is unique and each film ends up with it’s own story and narrative that fit the couple, venue, guests and overall vibe of your wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Caleb was an absolute dream to have on our wedding day. In the middle of all the chaos, he was calm, helpful, and somehow everywhere at once. At one point he even helped me get in touch with my wedding coordinator on the spot, which was above and beyond. He made us feel totally comfortable and let us be ourselves, never making anything feel forced or awkward. I swear, every time I turned a corner, there he was, capturing the moment. I just know the footage is going to be unreal. If you're thinking about booking Caleb, just do it. You won’t regret it.

Finisterre Visuals 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Santa Rosa, CA

So what does finisterre mean? Finisterre is Latin. If you know some Spanish, you’ll recognize two words squeezed into one: “fin” and “tierra,” essentially meaning the world’s end. Don’t worry, not in an apocalyptic sense of the word — it’s actually a place. It’s where the Romans once stood in modern-day Spain. They looked across the vast Atlantic Ocean, and thought to themselves “is this the end of the road?” Finisterre is an ode to that majestic feeling of unknown. Getting married is one of those unique experiences.

We hired Ryan and his team to capture video for our wedding day. We could not be happier with that decision. The video Ryan created for us is a forever cherished memory. The video book he created has been shown off countless times and is now a favorite toy of our son who likes to point out friends and family as they appear on screen. During the wedding day Ryan’s crew were punctual, professional, and very well coordinated. They knew where to be, what to capture, and worked with minimal support from us or the venue staff. They worked great with our photographers. Our photog even praised how easy Ryan’s crew made the day the next time we met with her. The videos that Ryan created for us were exceptional. We wanted a highlights reel style video of two different lengths. Ryan left us with a short video that we were able to post to social media and a longer video we shared directly with friends and family. They captured all of our favorite moments, put everyone into the video, and weaved together the story of the day beautifully. We still tear up rewatching it three years later. I can’t recommend Ryan and Finisterre Visuals highly enough. It’s hard to know who to trust to capture once in a lifetime moments. For us, Ryan will always be our top choice.

My films are custom made cinematic experiences, reminiscent of 90's and early 2000's era romantic movies with soul. Similar to features like Brown Sugar, Love Jones, and Love and Basketball, my style is tailored to capturing genuineness and encompassing real people experiencing their most beautiful moments. With this in mind, I make sure to apply cinema level techniques to make your most precious event seem like an independent film or documentary.

We had the pleasure of working with Veno, and the experience was amazing. From start to finish, everything about the process was fantastic and I couldn’t be happier with the sneak peeks he has provided. His work was breathtaking and glad we had him film our most important day! From day one, Veno was so passionate and dedicated to create something truly special for Julio and I, and you can see his love for what he does through his work. I can’t wait to see our final wedding video!

We cannot say enough good things about our wedding videographer, Ally! From the moment we booked her, she went above and beyond—even traveling from out of town to be part of our day.

Fueled by nostalgic recalling we aim to create a film that is timeless and authentic. Motel Cinema is based out of San Diego, Ca and our approach to weddings is inspired by the untraditional travelers before us, who hit the road in search of adventure into the unknown. We don't like boxes and we don't want wedding films that fit into one. If that tickles your fancy let's get weird.

Awarded Best of Zola
One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was to hire Motel Cinema! As an entertainment marketer, specifically for documentaries, how our wedding would be documented was top of mind for me and I met with quite a few videographers. Brandon completely exceeded my expectations with the moments he caught on film, the editing, the music, the vibe. I really felt like he saw us and reflected it all back to us in the most special way which we will cherish for the rest of our lives. He was an absolute joy to work with through the entire process- easy to communicate with and quick, but also a relaxed energy that fit seamlessly into our wedding weekend. I cannot recommend Motel Cinema enough and I’m so so grateful that we were connected.

I found Saja through a tagged video of my wedding venue (The Glen Manor House) midway through planning, and was immediately sold! Her artistry, talent and the opulence mirrored my vision so much that I ended up firing my previously booked videographer! So if you’re reading this, and you already booked a videographer; you may need to reconsider because every bride needs a Saja on her wedding day! She is personable, professional and extremely considerate! The produced work is phenomenal and is a keepsake that will transcend family generations!! You regret hiring Mawaddah Productions for your big day!

I aim to provide a unique, meaningful experience filled with adventure, laughter, and a whole lot of love.

Your wedding day should be fun, STRESS-FREE and memorable. Simple as that. And I will do everything I can throughout the entire process to make sure it is nothing less.

My husband and I have had several photo shoots with Alanna over the past couple of years, and each session has been filled with love and laughter. We aren't super comfortable in front of the camera, but Alanna put us at ease and captured our candid moments instead of making us awkwardly pose. She is an excellent communicator and so easy to work with leading up to, during and after the photo shoots. We received our galleries way faster than expected, and we could not be happier with the end results. If you're looking for a fun, compassionate, adventurous photographer who will capture your love story- do yourself a favor and hire Alanna, you won't regret it!

Fast forward we found out he also did videography and we booked him for both- and we are so glad we did! He was so amazing, along with our photographer, they worked together so well and made sure we stayed on schedule and got all the moments captured we wanted. We almost didn’t go with videography but I’m so glad we decided to! He did such an amazing job with both the video and DJ. If we could do the day again, we would 100% have him again! He is so great to work with and so professional, I would recommend him to everyone! Thank you so much Conner for capturing the best day of our lives, the video was even better than we ever imagined.

HEYYY! *waves hands* We are Leandra & Clinton Cunanan, owners and lead videographers of Food & Cake Wedding Films. We are huge advocates for doing exactly what you want on your wedding day. We had the most epic wedding of all time (ask us about it!), but we didn't hire a videographer. And now this why we do what we do. It's the best feeling knowing each one of our couples will be able to relive their wedding day for the rest of their lives. We didn't have that, and now we get to give that to you!

I am so blown away by not only the quality of Clint and Leandra's work as videographers, but also what wonderful people they are! Not even halfway through our first zoom with them to talk about what packages they offer and our vision for the day I knew they were the perfect fit for us! Being with them on the wedding day felt like hanging out with old friends, they were amazing at blending in to the crowd to capture candid moments while also giving us prompts that created some of our favorite memories of the day. They worked so well with our other vendors and I don't think our day would have been complete without them. They are masters at what they do, and also the perfect people to have during a busy and, at times, stressful day (Leandra was able to bussle my dress when no one else could get the loop on the buttons AND snagged me some appetizers when I was resting my feet after the receiving line, she was a lifesaver!) My husband and I both teared up watching our trailer and highlight reel, and then happy cried getting to see our whole ceremony, private vows, speeches, and first dances. I know this is footage we’ll be so happy to look back on in the years to come, not just of my husband and I but of our whole families as well! I'm so happy we found Food Cake, you will not regret hiring this fantastic couple!
