Your Wedding Will Pass In A Blur. The Feeling Can Last Forever.
We’re Here to Craft Your Timeless Love Story.
BASED IN SANTA BARBARA, CREATING CINEMATIC WEDDING FILMS THAT FEEL TIMELESS AND TRUE.
You want your wedding to feel timeless, graceful, and full of emotion that lingers long after the day ends. Not just a beautiful event, but a reflection of who you are as a couple: elevated, intimate, and completely your own.
The day moves fast. One moment you’re walking down the aisle, and the next you’re wondering where it went. Long after the flowers fade, your film becomes the only way to hold it still.
At Hovey Films, we capture that feeling with intention and artistry.
Through a refined soft-editorial lens, every frame is designed to hold the tone, texture, and emotion of your day, the way memory remembers it: softly, beautifully, forever.

Take the Wedding Package Finder Quiz
Begin by taking our Wedding Package Finder quiz, a short and thoughtful way to share what matters most to you. You’ll tell us how you want your film to feel, your must-have moments, and the tone that defines your celebration.
Once you complete it, you’ll receive your custom Inspiration Snapshot, a visual preview of your wedding film’s aesthetic and storytelling approach. You’ll also receive First Look Priority, placing your story at the top of our creative queue.
Receive Your Wedding Film Package Details
After we’ve learned more about your vision, you’ll receive a curated set of wedding film package options that include full pricing and package details. This helps you understand your options clearly and choose the one that feels right for you.
Meet and Connect
We’ll meet over video or in person to refine ideas, answer questions, and connect on a personal level. This conversation ensures your film feels authentic to you from the start.
Share the Details
Two months before your wedding, you’ll receive a short questionnaire to complete at your own pace. It helps us understand your timeline, priorities, and key people so we can approach the day with complete clarity.
Your Client Portal
After your consultation, you’ll receive access to your private Client Portal — a central space where everything lives. All of your files, emails, and details are organized here, so nothing gets lost or buried in your inbox.
You’ll always know where everything stands, and we’ll manage communication directly with your planner and vendors. It’s a stress-free way to stay informed without having to be the point of contact.

When your day arrives, our team is fully prepared. We capture every emotion and detail with care, ensuring your story unfolds effortlessly on film. You can be completely present, knowing that every moment is being preserved beautifully and safely.
JESSE DRAKE HOVEY
CO-OWNER, HOVEY FILMS | SANTA BARBARA FILM FESTIVAL-NOMINATED DIRECTOR
I believe a wedding film should feel timeless, intimate, and effortlessly alive. My background spans feature films, fashion editorials, and award-winning short documentaries — all of which shaped the way I see story, light, and emotion.
I founded Hovey Films with one vision: to create wedding films that feel like memory, not production. Each one is guided by cinematic storytelling and refined technical craft, built to honor not only how the day looked but how it felt to live it.
Every film is treated as an heirloom. From thoughtful preparation to quiet presence on the day, and through the detailed work of editing, we approach each story with the same care we’d give our own family’s memories.
