HEAR FROM OUR COUPLES
"
Our wedding film from Christian, Chris, & the Shutter & Sound team is such a masterpiece! The cinematography is absolutely stunning, the music is so well coordinated, and the venue & decor are beautifully captured. They wove together every funny, intimate, and meaningful moment with us and our family & friends. It was so much fun to relive the day, especially with the full-length ceremony and toasts footage – we laughed (& cried) all over again. Shutter & Sound captured our day so beautifully and brought our wedding “vision” & our love story to life on camera. Not only that, but they were organized and easy to work with throughout the process – and so fun on our actual wedding day!

×ENQUIREVI · LOCATIONS
WE'VE FILMED HERE →

CHAPEL № I
This breathtaking 1,200-acre park is packed with beautiful flora, gardens and paths, and it even contains museums, theatres and restaurants. The 1915 Spanish-Colonial-Revival California Tower and the Casa del Prado arcade are the most-shot ceremony spots; the Lily Pond catches sunset perfectly.

CHAPEL № II
If you and your intended have a fun and goofy relationship, Belmont Park is your perfect location. This amusement park is jam-packed with vibrant rides, attractions and games, and the iconic 1925 Giant Dipper wooden roller coaster is one of only a handful of original wooden coasters still operating in the US. Set right on the Mission Beach boardwalk.

CHAPEL № III
This waterfront location has plenty of picturesque scenery that will make a perfect backdrop for your wedding shoot. Originally built in 1923 as the San Diego Naval Training Center, the Spanish-Mission-Revival officers quarters are now available as wedding venues, with arched colonnaded walkways and a wide grass promenade overlooking the bay.

CHAPEL № IV
You’ll be amazed by magnificent cliffs, gorgeous sunsets and the beautiful blue waves of the Pacific Ocean at this venue. Sixty-eight acres of dramatic sandstone sea-cliffs in Point Loma. Sunset ceremonies only — the magic-hour Pacific light here is what we live for. Bring our own arches, taper candles, and aerial drone clearances.

CHAPEL № V
The 1888 Victorian Queen-Anne grande dame of the Coronado strand — distinctive red conical turret-roofs, white wooden facade, grand wrap-around veranda, and the iconic Coronado Beach right outside. The Crown Room downstairs holds 320; the Windsor Lawn handles outdoor ceremonies; Some Like It Hot was filmed here in '59 and the Wright Brothers stayed in 1909.

CHAPEL № VI
A small protected sandstone-cliff cove between the Children's Pool seawall and the Scripps Park lawn — the most cinematic ocean ceremony spot in San Diego County. The Cuvier Park clifftop above the cove handles ceremonies of 100 with permits; the cove itself catches the sea-lion colony as a quiet documentary backdrop on the iPhone footage. Sunset ceremonies only.
Beyond these six, we shoot regularly at the Salk Institute, Cuvier Park clifftop, the Mt Soledad National Veterans Memorial, the Marine Room, and a handful of private estates we keep quiet about by request.
Did we mention we also serve Encinitas, Del Mar, and the Baja peninsula?

X · HONEST ANSWERS
Before you write, here are the things couples usually want to know — asked plainly, answered plainly.
THE ANSWER
We film every San Diego wedding ourselves. Michael is based in North Park and has shot at every venue on this page at least once. We don’t outsource. Ever.
THE ANSWER
Yes — we have working relationships with all three and know each venue’s rules around fixed cameras, lighting, drone permits (Sunset Cliffs requires San Diego Parks), and timing. We’ll handle the venue’s production manager so you don’t have to.
THE ANSWER
Eight weeks for The Short, ten for The Feature, six for The Preview. Holiday weeks add a week. We’ll give you a date the day we sign and we’ll hit it.
