As soon as we looked into Ebullient Memories Films and talked with Hector, his communication was friendly, timely and professional. He had an easy-going demeanor and did not put any pressure on us during the decision process. After we booked him, he put us at ease throughout the planning process while paying attention to detail. On the day of our wedding, he captured so many special moments without taking away from the special moments and our wedding. His natural and candid filming style allowed him to document our day beautifully and authentically. The final video was a perfect memento that we will cherish for years to come.

Cook Captures

  • Serves Nipomo, CA

Hi there, I’m Caleb — but most people call me Cook. I’ve been behind the camera for over a decade, capturing weddings, events, and stories that matter. After spending nearly 13 years filming in the Southeast, I moved to California in 2012 to pursue a different path. But a few years ago I found myself drawn back to what I truly love: telling stories through film. That’s how Cook Captures was born.

Awarded Best of Zola
Caleb was incredible! He has such a great personality and instantly made us feel comfortable. He blended in so naturally that most of the time we didn’t even notice he was there, yet he captured everything perfectly. He truly felt like a comfort to us throughout the day. When little things came up, we even found ourselves turning to him for advice, it was like having an older brother by our side. We are so thankful we chose him and would highly recommend him to anyone!

Finisterre Visuals 

5.0

  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Nipomo, 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.

This review is long overdue and for that we apologize! We hired Ryan and his team to be our videographers for our wedding at the Corner Barn in Graeagle, CA this past July and are so thankful for our decision. Ryan was the main videographer and brought an additional shooter. Between the two of them, they got absolutely amazing footage. Ryan is a mastermind with putting the footage all together and turning it into one beautiful video. All the little details were brought together in such an artful way that we are so impressed with. We loved his style of video, especially the documentary part. He interviewed important people, such as family members, MOH, and BM, at different parts throughout our special day and had those included in the video as well. Ryan was so kind and communicative throughout the whole process. It was obvious how knowledgeable and passionate he was and we were so comfortable working with him and trusting him with our most special day. He did a great job of thinking of every detail to make it special. Once the video was done, my husband and I received a portable video player that showed his work and it was such a great surprise! Overall, we could not recommend Ryan enough to hire as your videographer.

Her smile is contagious and her communication following our wedding was impeccable. So grateful for this forever memory of our day!

When we were initially planning our wedding I didn’t think getting a videographer was necessary. However, my now husband convinced we needed one. And as much it pains me to admit he was right about anything I’m so glad we got a videographer and not just any videographer but Kristiann. I really didn’t know what to expect but I can say that without equivocation she exceeded all expectations. She was communicative and always responded to questions immediately. When our first wedding had to be canceled 3 days before our original wedding date Kristiann was so kind and accommodating. When it came to our day finally arriving she was there early, professional and so friendly. She made us all feel comfortable and was not intrusive at all. After getting back our video not only was it beautifully made but it was so wonderful to see the moments she captured and the things we missed. Not only that but so many of our guests commented on how nice and wonderful she was. Without a doubt I would rebook and recommend Kristiann in a heartbeat.

I aim to provide a unique, meaningful experience filled with adventure, laughter, and a whole lot of love. My main goal is to ensure that not only do you receive a kick-ass gallery or video that brings back all the feelings from your day, but that you have an INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE throughout the entire journey! 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.

Alanna could not have captured me and my husband’s elopement day more authentically. And truthfully, that was the most important part of the day I got married- it reflecting me and my partner accurately! Alanna woke up at 3am and met up with us to start our special day hiking to an alpine lake in WA. I know that’s not atypical for an elopement photographer; however, it’s hard to find someone more down to earth, calm and relaxed and with the ability to make you feel so safe. That’s Alanna. She has a unique and beautiful gift. My husband and I could not be grateful to have met and worked with Alanna. Our final photos and video (which I’ve watched a near 150 times…no, I mean it) were breathtaking. Could not recommend this woman enough!

My husband and I were going back and forth on whether we wanted videography at our wedding, and I am so so glad we decided to go with stamper films! Firstly, they were affordable and fit in our budget. Even better, their style is documentary-like filming which we love! Looking at our videos now, it feels like an authentic, real, romantic view was captured. Yan Li was super easy to work with & everything went seamlessly. We felt very comfortable with him & his assistant, and they were so respectful of our photographer as well. Our wedding video makes me cry just thinking about it. Then I turn it on & I really start to cry— our vows overlayed on top of the footage, the scenery & details that were captured, & especially the emotion Stamper Films got on camera. 10/10 and if I ever needed videography again I would go to Stamper Films.

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!
