The beautiful couple danced away in the sunset with gorgeous vineyards and gardens in the background. Me and my team loved filming the nature and spectacular views of the Mayacamas mountains. The heat was there to challenge us, but I love how we pulled off an amazing story of this couple. As a Napa Valley wedding videographer, I love to tell stories in these enchanted valleys. On a technical side. Our team used 5 cameras (Canon 5D MK III DSLRs) and many "L series" lenses. Audio wise, I had the groom and officiant mic'ed up for the ceremony using mini lavs, additionally pulling a feed off of the mixer (for backup). For reception, I simplified the audio, but had a few duplicate audio recorders running from the mixer. We used a Jib to give us those cinematic shots that are hard to get with regular tripods or monopods. Looking over the shots, as a team, we did an amazing job "harmonizing" shots and making sure they work together. I usually plan our camera layout prior to the ceremony and reception to give us the shots I want. More importantly, so we can work effectively and to get the best coverage possible. With experience, we are able to plan our layout within minutes, but each wedding is a challenge. The opening aerial shots, I do for fun. I love flying a camera in the air to get an amazing view. I edit and color-correct/grade in FCPX (I love Final Cut) using built in color correction and a few plugins. Over the years, I developed this basic but effective principle to work by : with amazing footage, you can make an amazing film! So me and my team does just that. Enjoy this short film![/vc_column_text][message type="normal" border="yes" background_color="#f2f2f2" border_width="1" border_color="#e5e5e5" close_button_color="#c4c4c4"] Are you looking for a Wedding Cinematographer? [icons size='fa-1x' custom_size='' icon='fa-arrow-circle-o-right' type='normal' position='' border='yes' border_color='' icon_color='#303030' background_color='' margin='0 0 0 5px' icon_animation='' icon_animation_delay='' link='/wedding-cinematography/' target='_self'] [/message][vc_column_text css=".vc_custom_1508969765216{margin-top: 30px !important;}"]Cinematography: Aperina Studios Venue Reception: Brix...

The beautiful couple was full of energy, smiling and enjoying their wedding days. We loved becoming part of the family for a few days to capture the story of Ricky and Preeti! Behind the scenes, working as a cinematographer on this 18 hour wedding day, it was not all fun and games. Even though the wedding was beautiful and fun, it honestly pushed the limits of our team - physically, creatively and emotionally. Some weddings, a beginner can film them (they are simply easy). But this wedding, you had to be a true professional to pull off great footage. I'm a proud that our team did just that. We communicated all day on long range walkie-talkies (this was super important), walked/ran about 9 miles (my fitness tracker can prove that), and best of all, we captured some beautiful footage![/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][message type="normal" border="yes" background_color="#f2f2f2" border_width="1" border_color="#e5e5e5" close_button_color="#c4c4c4"] Are you looking for Indian Wedding Cinematography Services? [icons size='fa-1x' custom_size='' icon='fa-arrow-circle-o-right' type='normal' position='' border='yes' border_color='' icon_color='#303030' background_color='' margin='0 0 0 5px' icon_animation='' icon_animation_delay='' link='/indian-wedding-videography/' target='_self'] [/message][vc_column_text css=".vc_custom_1505433235886{margin-top: 30px !important;}"]Cinematography: Aperina Studios Photography: Aperina Studios Venue Groom Sangeet: Flamingo Palace Banquet Hall Venue Reception: Green Gate Ranch and Vineyards Catering: Manohar Delhi Palace  DJ: Prestige Entertainment Florist: Elegant Details[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=".vc_custom_1503514858621{margin-top: 30px !important;}"] We are an Bay Area Indian Wedding Videography company that creates cinematic films.

When I first met James and Selina (via Skype), right away I wanted to be their wedding cinematographer! They were a fun and lovely couple - a perfect match. I love what I do. When the couple loves what we do as well, it makes me want to do so much better! That's why we came 1 hour early just to grab a few creative shots of the beautiful Venue. We loved everything about the wedding. The decorations, the flowers, and especially the Bride and Groom! We worked hard all day - telling their story through our cinematography. I hope you enjoy this short film that we have produced from James and Selina’s Wedding. Feel free to leave comments below if you enjoy the film and this amazing couple.

With every new couple, we get to experience one of the most amazing days in their life witnessing their love for one another and hearing their story. We are super excited to post their story! Bryan & Zhanna are a lovely couple. Working with them and seeing how they connect with each other was not only joyful but also easy to film and tell their story. Their wedding took place at a beautiful venue in Sacramento, CA - Vizcaya. An antique venue that has character and emotion. I loved it. But enough of me blabbering, enjoy the short film!

Capturing weddings during the middle of the week usually means the wedding is going to be small, elegant, and personal. That is exactly how Adrian & Christiana's wedding was. The handsome groom flew in from London. The gorgeous bride flew in from the Caribbean. The groomsman flew in from Sweden and the bridesmaid (with her husband) from Canada. There were a total of five people present at the wedding (six with the officiant). This is exactly how the bride pictured her wedding. We at Aperina Studios came with our four crew members to bring the total number of people to 10. This was the smallest wedding I think we have ever photographed or filmed but we had such an amazing time capturing the intimate, happy time these five best friends were having in the beautiful Madrona Manor in Healdsburg, CA.

Many times, I want to share my edits right away. I want everyone to see it hot off the press! This film on the other hand, I didn't let myself to share it right after completing it. It felt like it was still a rough draft even though everyone in our office agreed it was ready to post. It felt like an essay that I just wrote and wanted to turn it in for an A+ but knew it was a B- essay. Some filmmakers would settle for an B- film, I didn't want to. I never do. So I spent a few more days tweaking this film and perfecting it. Fixing all the little thing that bothered me and letting my wife critique it. Now I can post it knowing that it's an A+ level film. I love how it turned out after finalizing. We love creating short wedding films. We love telling stories and short films allow us to do exactly that. Enjoy this short film.

Waking up 30 min. before an alarm rings is always a good sign for me in the morning. Especially before a wedding. Getting out of the house dragging all the camera bags behind me, I drove to Irena's house with a weird excitement. I felt that this wedding will be fun, elegant, and dreamy. Arriving at the brides house 10 min early, I began filming. Hair shots, rings shots, dress shots and so on. For make-up we drove out to Roseville Galleria Mall (Nordstrom) where we spent some time filming inside and on the way back I decided to stop by the venue to grab some prep shots that I may use for the film. I was inspired by what kind of shots I was able to grab and realized that even the prep shots write the story of the wedding day. I fell in love with the idea of filming prep shots in the venue and will put all my efforts to try to capture these kind of shots on other weddings as well. Roman and Irena didn't see each other before the wedding so it made it very elegant and emotional in the ceremony when he saw her for the first time in her wedding dress walking slowly down the aisle. The mom wiped her tears away as she gave away her daughter to the man that will be taking care of her baby from now on. Capturing the moments was a challenge outside and I believe we did an amazing job doing just that. The wedding presented itself with it's challenges. The sun hid behind clouds constantly forcing us to adjust our camera settings. However, we managed just fine. After enjoying some delicious food at the reception, we took the bride and groom for a walk on the golf field and that paid of so well that those shots ended up to be some of my favorite from this wedding. I decided to take a different approach in editing and pick a song that didn't have lyrics. It's a very elegant emotional song and it gave me the inspiration needed to put this cinematic teaser...
