Welcome to Ryan Green Films, where your San Diego wedding videography dreams come to life with a personalized touch! As a premier wedding videographer in San Diego, one of the most distinctive aspects of my process is how I capture and edit each wedding film. I ensure that the color palette and style align perfectly with the couple’s preferences. Whether you envision organic natural tones, a timeless black-and-white aesthetic, or a nostalgic Super 8 vibe, I’m here to bring your vision to life with a vintage feel that’s tailored just for you.


Capturing Your Wedding Day with Natural Color

When I film a wedding, my goal is to capture the day as it unfolds naturally, preserving the authentic emotions and beauty of the moment. I use three 4K cameras throughout the day to ensure every angle and detail is covered. These high-resolution cameras allow me to record your wedding with crisp clarity while maintaining the natural colors of the scene. This approach ensures that the raw footage serves as a perfect foundation for the editing process, where the real magic happens. While I start with natural color, the final look of your wedding film is entirely up to you. My process is designed to be collaborative, allowing you to choose the color style that resonates most with your vision.


Tailoring the Color and Style to Your Preferences

Every couple is unique, and so is every wedding film I create. After filming your San Diego wedding, I dive into post-production, where I work closely with you to determine the color palette and style of your film. This is where your preferences take center stage. Here’s how I tailor each film, with examples of past work to illustrate each style:


•  Organic Color: For couples who love the natural beauty of their wedding day, I enhance the footage with subtle adjustments that keep the colors vibrant yet true to life. Think soft pastels, warm sunlight, and earthy tones that reflect the natural charm of a San Diego wedding. Example below:

Andrew & Charmaine's Wedding Film featuring natural color.

•  Natural Color Combined with Black and White: If you’re dreaming of a timeless, classic look, I can transform your film into a stunning black-and-white masterpiece. This style emphasizes emotion and contrast, giving your wedding film a cinematic, old-Hollywood feel. Example below:

Mary & Alexander's Wedding Film featuring natural color combined with black & white.

"We were originally looking for a videographer who could shoot our wedding in Super 8 film or similar, and struggled to find a suitable match for some time. Ryan stood out as someone who shot in a style that resembled the 'film' look we were looking for, so we decided to pivot and explore this opportunity. Right from the start he was very responsive and attentive to our requests, so we felt extremely comfortable bringing him on board.On the wedding day Ryan went the extra mile to help us with transportation/logistics, making us look amazing, and synergizing really well with our photographer right from the start of the day. Ryan kept it professionally cool, and eased our wedding day anxieties all day. We're extremely happy with the final product, and he made us so glad that we didn't skip out on working with a videographer due to an ever-growing wedding budget."

•  Natural Color Combined with Super 8 and Vintage Looks: For those who adore a retro aesthetic, I apply filters and LUTs (Look-Up Tables) during post-production to achieve Super 8 style wedding films—without using physical film. This gives your wedding film a nostalgic, film-like quality, complete with grain and soft edges. The vintage look is perfect for couples who want their San Diego wedding film to feel like a cherished memory from decades past. Example below:

Sierra & Connor's Wedding Film featuring natural combined with Super 8 & a vintage look.

In the editing process, I apply different filters and LUTs to achieve these distinct styles. Whether it’s a warm, sepia-toned vintage vibe or a stark black-and-white contrast, I ensure the final film aligns with your vision while maintaining a high-quality 4K resolution. This customization sets Ryan Green Films apart as a San Diego wedding videographer who prioritizes your personal style.


A Personalized Filmmaking Process

At Ryan Green Films, I believe that every wedding film should be as unique as the couple it celebrates. That’s why I handle every aspect of the filmmaking process myself—from shooting to editing. I never outsource editing or rely on a second shooter, ensuring consistency, attention to detail, and a personal touch in every frame. My hands-on approach allows me to craft a film that truly resonates with you, whether it’s a vibrant organic film or a nostalgic Super 8 style wedding film.
