WEDDING FILMS
I specialize in capturing the authentic emotions and moments that make your celebration truly unique. Below is a selection of films from my portfolio, each featuring songs chosen by the couple. The runtime of each film is tailored to the couple's preferences, and the style—whether organic color, black and white, or Super 8—is also determined by their choices. Links to my complete portfolio can be found at the bottom of this page.
Courtney & Patrick's Wedding Film
This wedding took place at the picturesque Rancho Bernardo Inn, surrounded by nature, with a first kiss under a dreamlike floral arch. Courtney and Patrick were laid back, wearing smiles from start to finish. As a "Swifty" at heart, Courtney’s love for Taylor Swift naturally influenced their film score, which features one of their favorite songs from the artist. I remixed two versions of the song to seamlessly flow with the spoken parts of their wedding day. The couple preferred natural colors and a documentary yet cinematic style—something couples have come to love about my work.
"Besides being an amazing videographer, Ryan is also an incredibly easygoing and kind person to work with! When we requested a copy of the raw video footage files, Ryan went above and beyond by ordering a hard drive on our behalf and mailing the loaded drive to us. Thank you, Ryan, for capturing our best day ever!"
Andrew & Charmaine's Wedding Film
This elegant wedding took place at the historic Guild Hotel in downtown San Diego. The overcast skies accentuated the film's colors, showcasing the breathtaking white floral details and the elegance of the historic venue. Charmaine envisioned a specific song for the film: The Kingdom Choir's rendition of "Stand by Me." This profoundly beautiful arrangement emerged as a cornerstone of the film, inspiring shots that mirrored its grandeur. The couple's heartfelt moments truly brought the film to life.
"Honestly, I can't stop watching our wedding highlight film! On the day of the wedding, Ryan showed up ready to rock—he's a super chill guy who collaborated seamlessly with our photographer. He even used his muscles to move furniture around and create the perfect setup. The editing was amazing, and he perfectly mixed in the songs we wanted! A friend referred me to Ryan, and I was so glad we decided to book him!"
Courtney & Niko's Wedding Film
This wedding took place at the historic Green Gables estate, nestled under the shade of a lush, landmark forest. Niko and Courtney were fully present throughout the entire day and it shows in their film. I remixed three versions of their chosen song to create the perfect score for their wedding. The couple preferred natural colors and selected music that was dear to their hearts.
"Anyone not considering a videographer would be mistaken not to use Ryan. We couldn’t be happier with how our video turned out, and it was delivered in less than three weeks! Ryan is very professional, with quick responses, and made sure we were happy every step of the process. His quality of work is unparalleled."
Hanna & Richard's Wedding Film
This wedding took place cliffside at the Wedding Bowl at Cuvier Park, followed by a celebration at the Museum of Contemporary Art just across the street in La Jolla. The film captures an elegant blend of art and love, with natural color and songs thoughtfully selected by the couple, including a touching live performance by Hanna's brother as she walked down the aisle.
"Ryan has a gift of creating wedding videos that take people back to how they felt during their special day. When I watch Ryan's video of our wedding, I am grateful that I not only get to remember all the important moments of the day through his work, but also re-live how I felt in each moment. I love the attention to detail that Ryan shows through his work: his perfectly timed music edits is just one small evidence to how much care he puts to each video he creates."
