Watch full films, not sizzle reels
Every wedding videographer in Los Angeles can cut a beautiful sixty seconds. The honest test is the whole film — whether the ceremony holds, whether the speeches are audible, whether the middle drags. That is why the eleven above run from 1:22 to 12:48 and none of them are trimmed for this page. Watch one all the way through before you judge any of us, mine included.
One team for photography and video
Most couples hire a photographer and a videographer who meet for the first time on the wedding morning, then spend the day competing for the same angle. I run both sides, so the shot list is agreed in advance and nobody is standing in anyone else’s frame. It is the single biggest practical difference between a smooth day and a tense one.
What it costs in Los Angeles
Cinematography starts at $1,799 and photography with cinematography together starts at $3,500. Those are starting prices for smaller single-day weddings. Persian, Armenian and Indian celebrations run longer, span more events and carry bigger guest counts, so those are always quoted as a personalised package rather than squeezed into a tier.
Languages on the day
A good part of my work is Persian and Armenian weddings around Glendale, Burbank and the Valley. I work in English, Persian, Armenian and Spanish, which matters more than it sounds — the difference between catching a grandmother’s blessing and filming the back of her head is understanding what is being said.
Common questions
How far in advance should we book? Most couples book six to twelve months out. Saturdays in peak season go first; a Thursday or Friday is often open much later.
How long until we see the film? Complete video delivery in under a month, and a short next-day edit so you have something to share while the day is still fresh.
Do we choose the music? Yes. Send me the songs that mean something to you and I build the film around them, licensed properly so it is safe to post anywhere without being muted or taken down.
Do you travel outside Los Angeles? Yes — Malibu, Orange County, Santa Barbara, Temecula and destination weddings worldwide.
