Your origin story on screen
An evocative, emotional, joy-filled keepsake you’ll watch for the rest of your lives.
Your film isn’t just for now; it’s for the future. It’s for your kids someday. For your friends who couldn’t be there. For the two of you, five or fifteen years from now, when you want to remember what it felt like.
tell your love story
After you fill out the contact form, we’ll hop on a call. Nothing formal—just a genuine chat about you, your story, and what you’re hoping for. I want to know how you met, what lights you up, and what you want to remember most when you look back years from now. If it feels like a fit, I’ll send over a custom proposal with a few tailored options. No jargon. No pressure. Just a plan that fits.
Step 1
discovery call
Based on our chat, we’ll create three bespoke collections that are hand-crafted to suit your vision and values.

Every package includes a “Story Session.” It’s a chance for us to capture your relationship in your real life. That might mean filming you cooking dinner at home, grabbing a beer at your favorite brewery, or wandering your neighborhood at golden hour. It’s more than just pretty footage—it’s the heartbeat of your story. To keep things natural, I’ll provide gentle direction to put you at ease if you need it. I’ll give you a few easy questions to ask each other—like “What’s something I do that always makes you laugh?”—and I’ll capture the conversation as it unfolds.

final planning call
By the time your wedding rolls around, we’ll have built a solid plan and a solid connection. I’ll show up with a trusted second shooter, a clear idea of what matters most to you, and an easygoing energy that keeps things calm, even if the timeline goes off track. My past clients say I bring a grounding presence—someone who knows when to step in and when to disappear into the background. I’ll guide you when you need it, crack a joke when things feel too serious, and stay present to the little things that make your day one-of-a-kind.

Bespoke wedding films built around your story
Vital Light doesn't do off-the-shelf packages. Instead, each collection is built around you. Once we’ve had a chance to chat, I’ll create a custom proposal tailored to your wedding.
You’ll get a few options to choose from, all designed to reflect who you are as a couple, what you’re dreaming of, and how you want to remember this moment years down the line.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much will it cost me?
Every couple is different and so are their needs. To focus on what's most important to you all of our packages are custom built. However our minimum film package is 5k and our couples typically spend 6-7k.
Do you film destination weddings?
Definitely. While we’re based in Temecula, California, we film weddings all across the country (and the world). If your wedding is over 100 miles from Temecula, we simply charge a travel fee to cover flights, fuel, and reasonable accommodations.
Do you film elopements?
Absolutely. We offer special pricing for elopements with fewer than 10 guests. Reach out to tell us more about your plans, and we’ll tailor something just for you.
Who edits our wedding video?
All editing is done in-house by our small (but mighty) team. We’re a boutique film house, which means every film is reviewed and quality-checked multiple times before it ever lands in your inbox. You’ll never get a cookie-cutter film—only a handcrafted story made with care.
How do you choose music for our film?
We use a mix of instinct, storytelling, and your preferences. You’ll fill out a questionnaire to share your favorite genres and musical tastes, and we’ll use that to license cinematic tracks that feel true to your story and tone. Every song is carefully chosen to complement the moments we’ve captured—nothing random, nothing generic.
Do you have insurance?
Yes! Vital Light Films is fully insured and happy to send a copy of our certificate of liability insurance to your venue or planner—just ask.
Sounds good!
Every frame tells a story. Let’s start yours.
If you’re looking for a wedding film that doesn’t just document the day but feels like the two of you, then you’re in the right place. We’ll craft something thoughtful, intimate, and true to your rhythm.
Whether you’re planning a celebration close to home or dreaming up something further afield, I’d be honored to come alongside you and help you hold onto the moments that matter most.
