The best love is the kind that awakens the soul, makes us reach for more, that plants the fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. That’s what I hope to give you forever.

The Notebook

 

 

 

memories-as-they-happen

We give you the one thing that no other wedding vendor can…

MEMORIES EXACTLY AS THEY HAPPEN!

 

We understand that staying within your budget is important but before you get too far, please read our section “CINEMA VS VIDEO” where we explain the major difference between Traditional Video and a Cinematic Film. Our article will help you understand which is better for you and your wedding and also explain why cinema video can ultimately be one of the most important aspects of your day… more than you ever could have imagined. The fact that you are looking at this page right now tells me that you place a great importance on your future and remembering the day as it happened. In fact… no other wedding vendor can even offer you that! Photography is the closest thing to video for capturing moments but the main difference is that photos can only capture one fraction of a second. Time freezes and the words and motion is lost. You don’t remember exactly what your father said to you or how perfectly you moved together for your first dance as husband and wife.

Cinema video is the only thing that can capture all of that, each and every detail, so that 20 years down the road you will still be able to live the moments again and again. When you think of it that way, how can you not get a cinematographer for your wedding?

We recently read a study done by XO Group (The Knot) that 75% of couples decide to remove Cinematography and or video (they always lump them into the same category) from their wedding budget. Out of those couples, 83% say that they regret not having video from their wedding.

On top of that, the 25% of people who do include filming on their wedding day usually only spend an average of  3 – 4%  of their total wedding budget on one of the most important aspects of the day…. Cinema/Video. Let’s break that down… On a 20k wedding thats only $600. In some cases that is less than the cake and about the same as the officiant. A good cinematographer or videographer will cost more than that.

This is the most important day of your life! Don’t spend all your money on things that will be eaten, wilted, worn only once, fade or be long forgotten.

Place your money into your memories… Place your money into Cinematography.

some-of-the-clients-we-work-with
  • From the early moments of getting ready, to our “first look”, the ceremony, and the reception, Nick was constantly filming and finding good angles to get the best and most interesting shots.  They even brought in a drone to get aerial footage of the ceremony, and they took some amazing “fly-by” footage of my wife and I while we were taking portraits.  He is a very talented filmmaker.

     

    Seth & Irina-Los Angeles Wedding
  • It was important to us to hire an excellent videographer since this would probably be the only time my new husband and I would ever have both of our families and our closest friends altogether. Unfortunately, there were monsoonal rainstorms on my wedding day.  I couldn’t believe it!  Nick and Stephanie were great.  They were prepared for the rain and helped keep our spirits high!

     

    Trava & Scott-Redondo Beach Wedding
  • Excellent work, professionalism, respect for the wedding day and overall one great company to work with on this most special day.  We loved everything about Motivity Films and highly recommend to all!!!

     

     

     

    Tim & Kelly-Malibu Wedding
  • Motivity Films was there early and shadowed us all day. Very easy to work with and professional. They brought a drone to captures aerial shots of the venue/ceremony location, which is pretty dang neat! They also were extremely accommodating-they cut their vendor dinner short to shoot something we requested during the reception.

     

    Laura & Mark - San Diego Wedding
  • My husband and I had an instant connection with Nick & Steph and they turned out to be better then we could ever imagine. On our wedding day we had a bunch of issues which caused us a lot of stress.  They not only did their jobs but they also stepped in to help our day run smoothly by calming us down, helping with wedding details that were messed up and keeping the wedding timeline flowing.  I truly believe they saved our wedding.

    Anna & Gino - Malibu Wedding
  • We had Motivity Films as our videographer for our wedding just yesterday!! We love working with Nick and Stephanie ( of Handlebar Studios)! Everything went so smoothly from the getting ready shots up to the end of our reception! Nick was very professional and so easy to work with! We’re so glad we hired him!!

     

     

    Jessica & Sidney - Los Angeles Wedding
  • Choosing motivity films was one of the best decisions I made for our wedding. They were organized, easy to work with, and friendly. It seemed as if they weren’t even there because they didn’t show up in a single picture of the day BUT their footage was amazing. They encapsulated the entire day so well, it brought tears to my eyes. I can’t say enough kind words. Thank you!

We view cinema as the perfect combination of so many wonderful art forms… photography, music and theater.

All must perfectly blend together for the film to shine.
